Little ads bring great returns
COUNTY WILL BE
FEATURED IN 6
GREYHOUND ADS
Unique Series Of Advertise
ments Started This Week
In The Times
This county’s part in the na
tion’s war effort is being given
its full share of prominence in
the first of a series of newspaper
advertisements to be published in
this paper by the Greyhound bus
lines. Local and state activities—
as well as the part local Grey
hound people and service play in
them—will be featured in all of
these advertisements.
Some highly interesting facts
about the state’s great highway
system will be the basis of one
advertisement—with special em
phasis on what these roads have
meant in the past, and will mean
in the future, to this county and
its neighbors. The newspapers of
the state—both dailies and week
lies— will come in for their share
of attention as will the splendid
grade schools, secondary schools
and colleges of this state. Pride in
the rich farmlands of this area
and the state’s leading industries
will be expressed in still other ad
vertisements.
Greyhound executives state that
they have chosen to “point with
pride’’ to local achievements and
institutions because Greyhound
feels itself to be a part of the
community—its people live here,
their children go to school here,
and a great proportion of the bus
service Greyhound provides in
this region is definitely local in
nature—a great share of this ser
vice being to war plants, farming
centers and neighboring commun
ities.
