The Mount Vernon Optic-Herald has created a new website listing
businesses, organizations, churches and others offering services in the
Franklin County area.
Merchants placing a minimum of $15 monthly in advertisements in
the Mount Vernon Optic-Herald will be added to this directory free.
A simple sponsorship of our monthly church page would suffice for
those not currently advertising in the Optic-Herald.
Current advertisers are being interviewed by phone for their listing
information. Those who have not yet been contacted and who wish to
sign up early are asked to call the Optic office at (903) 537-2228.
New advertisers are asked to call the Optic office to begin your
account and place an ad. The information for your directory listing will
also be taken at this time.
Those with current websites can have their sites linked from our
page. We can also build and host a website for you.
