deposit and money on hand and
to reclassify such Intangibles

Powerful Color For Neivspapers
Advertising history Is being
made by a series of three full
page color advertisements for
Mi ssey- Ferguson farm equip
ment, one of which Is appear
ing In The Franklin Times to
day alone with approximately
500 other newspapers. The ave
rage circulation of these news
papers Is about 4,000 each.
The concept of H1F1 Preprints
developed In New York city
where strangely enough, none
Of tM newspapers print color
quality of their own.
In 1958 a Urge New. York
agency decided to look (or a way
In which color of magazine
qualltu-a "must" for products
needing color for eye-or appe
tite-appeal -could be placed a
mong the black and white pages
of a newspaper, historically the
place where buylng-mlnded
housewives could be reached.
The solution lay In having the
advertising printed beforehand
like wallpaper in continuous de
slgn, and shipping this prer
printed material In roll form to
newspapers who would run It In
to their presses, printing upthe
backing- up side in the normal
way but leaving the front side
as It was-alreidy printed In
beautiful color. s
The final product was an or
dinary newspaper with one of its
pages in color, color equal In
quality of reproduction to any
national magazine and the cur
rent Massey - Ferguson Pre
print represents Ihe maximum
i<y.itT.n? nt >ht5 Kind of ad
vertising to date.
The""t(S4)j* of Preprints sine?
1988 has expanded from les?
than 300,000 impressions to
over 400 million last year. Mas
sey- Ferguson's -^se of Pre
prints for small circulation
newspapers has truly been a
pioneerlng effort and similar
usage can be expected in (he
future. ^
Most importantly, Preprints
bring coipr and excitement to
newspapers, and The Times
topes that those of you who see
tin *Maaa?v- Ferguion ad In to
lay's paper will agree It has
ukied a new dimension to our
nedlum.

GOP Sec'*
Speaks To
Rotarians
? -Newspaper stories over
simplify politics, Sherwood
Versteeg, General Secretary of
the Rapubllcan parly ofv North
Carolina, told Loulsburg Ro
tarians last Thursday night.
Speaking at the regular weekly
meeting at the Murphy House,
Mr. Versteeg cited til? own ex
perience as a reporter to esta
blish that the pressure of time
and the desire for a story often
force reporters to Ignore the
complex, realities of politics.
To dispel some of the mis
conceptions created by news
stories, Mr. Versteeg cited the
fact that both parties In North
Carolina ?contain liberal ?rid
conservative wings, DStnocm
?tlc conservatives and most Re
publicans are very party sys
tem, he continued, in order to
give the voters a choice be
tween conservatism and libera
lism.
m answer to a question from
the audience, he stated that tfie
Republican party hope* to pick
up several more legislative
Beats In thg n?.?l election. In
reference, to Gottford County,
went almost completely
Republican last year, he re
marked, "The Democrats made
a big tactical mistake; we know
what it is but are certainly not
going to tell them about it.
