SORE BACK PROVES
THAT ADVERTISING PAYS
No need to tell Harry Merkley at
the Red Front Grocery that the right
kind of advertising in The Advance--
Times pays off. He had a sore back
last week to prove that advertising the
right goods at the right prices gets
results,
In company with a lot of other
Wingham merchants, Harry placed an
ad for Dollar Day specials in last
weeks edition of The Advance-Times.
He listed ten special values, all cal
culated to catch the housewife’s eye,
in these days when housewives are
looking more carefully than usual to
find where their dollar will buy the
greatest value.
Orders directly from the ad were
numerous, Of the ten specials one
lady ordered every one except the 100-
pound bag of sugar. Others ordered
hundreds of sugar to such an extent
that Harry had a sore back the morn
ing after the paper came out, as a
result of carrying up hundreds of su
gar from the cellar.
When any one of your local mer
chants places advertising in this news
paper he is publicly offering good
value for your money. Invariably you
shop wisely when you shop with Ad
vance-Times advertisers.
