Our Exclusive Field
F T IllE E N T E R P R IS E does not carry advertisements to as msny
* homes aa are reached by some papers that are published in
Irrger cities than Halsey, but it carries them into a list of homes
that cannot he reached hy any other publication or combination of
publications.
Its circulation is largely in the homes of prosperous farmers in
the fertile W illa m e tte valley— farmers whose trade is worth while
to advertisers. W ise liusiness firms, whose shrewd management
has made them prosperous, advertise in Its columns because it pays
them to do so. If it did not they would not keep it up lor years, as
many of them have done.
The local newspaper that is watched for every week and eagerly
read when it arrives carries the advertiser's message more effectively
than any circular or any metropolitan publication could do. And
in these modern days, when the announcements are changed fre
quently. they constitute aa interesting news as social gossip and tee
read in the homes with as mnch avidity.
T b e quantity of local news which we publish is evideaco of the
cordial co-operation of the people of the com m unity. W ithout
that it would be impossible to make the Enterprise aa good a local
newspaper as it is.
The publishers are gratified by this attitude of the people toward
tbeir venture and are thankful for their help. W e hope to deserve
and receive a continuation of these evidences of good w ill. T e ll
us tbe news and we w ill tell it to ell our readers.
