NEW HURON COUNTY
OFFICERS
Warden Ballantyne and the mem-
bers of the County Council are to be
congratulated on their fair and
reasonable handling of the extreme-
ly difficult situations which have
Veen confronting them for some
months.
Their new appointments appear
to have been dictated by no other
consideration than that of the fit-

positions.
It is particularly pleasing that
both appointees are ex -service men
with splendid war records.

a bulletin on "The Insulation of New

In suggesting the serious attention

to the value of insulation in dwelI-

saving, amounting to the price of
from one-half ton to three tons of
coal, may be effected by proper in-

heat insulation is being witnessed, it
continues. Regarded a few years
ago as a fad that only the wealthy
could afford, insulation is now known
as an efficient, cheap, and sure
means of preventing heat leakages;

They Owe You
Sales Assistance
You know thoroughly well that you have
power, in your store, to influence the decision
of your customers in regard to what they buy
from you. Your customers rely on you to give
them products which, in use or consumption,
will give them complete satisfaction.
You know and your customers know that, in
regard to nearly every class of product, there
are several brands of equal merit, Thus, A's
soup is the equal of ,B's or C's soup; D's shoes
are the equal of E's or F's shoes; G's radio sets
are the equal of H's or I's sets; J's hosiery is
the equal of K's or L's hosiery; M's electric
washing machine or refrigerator is the equal of
N's or O's washing machine or refrigerator; and
so on and so on.
Makers of advertised products recognize that
you have access to the attention and favor of
several hundred buyers—your regular and irre-
gular customers, and they want to use your dis-
tribution facilities for their advantage. But
are they willing, in every instance, to assist you
to sell their product if you stock it—assist you
with slaeries of local advertisements, to be pub-
lished in this newspaper?
They say that they will provide you with
plenty of window and counter display material,
and printed matter; but quite often they de-
cline to use local advertising, in this newspaper,
over your name!
They tell you that they are spending a whale
of a lot of money in big -city dailies and in na-
tionally -circulated magazies;'but you, know —
or can get to know—,that in the territory served
by this newspaper upwards of 90 per cent of the
families living in it do not subscribe to national
magazines and big city dailies. This means that
the job of promoting local sales is to be put on
your shoulders.
If it is right to use big city dailies and nation-
ally -circulated magazines then, by the same tok-
en, it is right to use local weekly newspapers!
It is no compliment to you as a retailer or to
the buyers of this town and territory for a na-
tional advertiser to decline to advertise his pro,
duct in this newspaper.
You can get much more advertising for your
store and stock than you are now getting, if
you insist, as a condition of stocking a parti-
cular product, that it lie locally advertised in
this newspaper.
N.B.: Show this advertisement to men who
urge you to stock and push the sale of their
goods, yet who tell you that their firm cannot
assist their local sale by advertising.
