The Avery Stamping Co., Cleveland, Ohio, have issued a blotter for every day use, on the face of which appears some advertising matter pertaining to the "Avery" Shovels and the "Never-Break" Steel Spiders. What Is the Best Plan of Advertising? I am very much interested in the subject of advertising, but am in doubt as to the best plan to pursue. I am located in a country village of about 600 inhabitants, and am in a good farming section, but I am not satisfied with the amount of business I receive. I aim to keep a well selected stock of goods, and my store clean and in order. We have no local newspaper, the nearest town where a paper is published being nine miles from here, but one of the weekly papers published there has quite a large circulation in this locality, and I am running an ad. in this paper, and have the matter changed every two or three weeks. But I am not satisfied with results. I have a fair business, but want more, if advertising will do it; how? If any one can give me any light on the subject I would be only too glad to hear from them.
