The letter was received this week by b'red Dawson of the lo cal Rexall store and is in part as follows: "Newspaper advertising offers, for the average druggist, the best int'dittm whereby to reach the greatest number of peo.c r-i'.h the least expense. Kvcry mes sage that you print in your news paper reaches a large number of people every time it appears. To the question whether it is better to publish a large ad occasion ally than to use a small space regularly, individual experience is the best answer.
