Home Town Building as a Advertising Power
The piece argues country towns are the best sales agents when used properly. It emphasizes result advertising that quotes prices to pull orders, contrasts publicity ads with direct follow up, and urges local merchants to use newspaper advertising pages as mail order catalogs to capture regional trade. It cites examples from Liver Pills to paint on fences and warns against relying on publicity alone without price-driven follow up. It envisions schools teaching practical advertising to boost smaller towns’ business and insists cooperative local advertising is essential to counter mail order competition.
