VNib Filling a Distinct Need Only rour weeks ago The Advance-Times opened a special department under the title "Welcome to Wingham" — a page of adver- tisements in which some 20 local merchants are• offering bargains week by week. ' It is always difficult to assess the merits of such a venture, especially in its early stages, but last week did provide such an opportunity. Due to snow-filled roads this •paper appeared a day later than usual • . and as a result over 40 tele, phone calls were received at the 'office, all of them 'from nettled readers who wanted to know what had happened to their weekly paper. That fact in itself was not unusual. It is routine when, because of a Monday holiday or for sonic other cause the paper does not appear at the usual time. The interesting point was that many of the, callers mentioned that they wanted to read the "Welcome to Wingham" page, so they could plan their shopping for the week-end. If you are not already doing so, turn to Page Vivo as' 'soon as you have fidished reading this article . . and plan to buy in the stores that advertise. Note, too, that ' tnaty of the regular advertisers on other paged 06 "Widebitit to Wingharn" stores as well as those on Page 'Five, ",40.14.11w. rz ith Which is itirnaloaffiated the 0`,9r.ric Viclette *Rd WrOXPWr liPW5 WINCittaivt,.
