lined with bright, exciting windows freshly
stocked with today's news, the newspaper is the
busiest thoroughfare in town . . . busier tod,i
than ever before.
In some windows you find news of the home
town, the nation, and the rest of the world. In
some you find entertainment, advice, interpreta
tion. In others you find news of the goods and
sen ices offered by manufacturers and retailers.
Every day in the week, every week in the year, you
and your family travel this busy street, looking
for things that interest you . . . and finding them
in both the news and advertising windows
Practicallv everybody in every community walks
along this thoroughfare of news and advertising
every day . . . simpiy oecause the newspaper is
indispensable to everybody everywhere. That's
why the 37,000.000 families in the United States
and Canada buy, and read, over 43.300.000
newspapers every weekday . . . over 33.000,000
newspapers every Sunday.
And because everybody is so intersely interested
in the contents of the newspaper, it's easy to un
derstand why advertisers, national and local, find
newspaper space the most effective medium with
which to tell their story and sell their goods.
