A VALUABLE COMMUNITY
INSTITUTION
An executive of the great Kroger
grocery organization, in refusing to
purchase certain novel forms of ad-
vertising, explained:
"With few exceptions, the local
newspaper represents a valuable
community institution and our ad-
vertising in these papers helps to
make this community service pos-
sible.”
Which leads to the thought: How
much more valuable a newspaper
could be to its community if all the
thousands of dollars thrown away on
novelty forms of advertising of du-
bious value were spent in its col-
umns.
The advertiser would benifit.
The newspaper would benifit.
The community would benifit.
The average publisher, especially
of a modern weekly newspaper, ab-
hors the idea of soliciting advertising
when the patronage has the least
tinge of “gift” or “community sup-
port.” The average good weekly
prides itself in its a’ ility to “stand
on its own bottom.”
However, it is pleasing to note
that keen alert business men are rec-
ognizing that newspaper advertising
not only is the most profitable kino
that they can buy, but that it per-
forms another worthy service.
