' And it is interesting to note that this picturesque figure has not entirely passed into history, for in remote places, where transportation facilities are still primi- i a tive, he continued to ply his vocation. During the war, American Troops stationed in out-of- the-way towns of France, were bellman’s performance, in broadcasting the news frorn " the steps of the local Hotel de Ville, or town hall. creak : In fact, in no other country in the world has the amaz- ing growth of the newspaper equalled.that of the United States, where the ancient bell-ringer has been put com- pletely out of business, for even the small towns now have,theiy daily. papers, and special mail trains carry. the big metropolitan dailies into remote districts. Advertisers. have been quick to grasp the unique possibilities of the daily newspaper. No other medium serves their purpose quite so well—in. bringing the ad- ng message into the homes without loss of time ~ , or effort. . 4 4 This view amounts to a conviction with the manufac- turers of Shinola Shoe Polish. In 1922, using newspa- pers exclusively in advertising their. product, the sales of Shinola were the largest in the history of the busi- ness and the number of boxes sold the largest on record - of any paste shoe polish in América. 5 .Which explains why Shinola .plans. an, advertising apprgpriation for 1923 larger than ever, and. why. this company’s advertising efforts. will be confined to. daily . hae newspapers. — WEBB BROTHERS © | Embalm Funeral Licensed Em one: fa a ete | ; NIGHT PHONES 246-887 : Night Pone 100.or 687 THE ‘ A Publishea py. the Bismarck Tribune, in co-operation with Tire American Assoctation of Advertising Agencies ° ” t i i ] ; © “a !
