[ Business Manager’s Corner THE LEADER ON NEWSSTANDS 3 3 « e . Arrangements are being made by the Leader to make it possible for § every person in the state to get and read the Leader each week, whether o . they are members of the League or not. : ° Only actual farmers ecan become members of the Farmers” Nonpar- o e f{isar League and with this membership they get the Leadér, but e : every person in the state may stthscribe for and have mailed te him the : .@ Leader each week for the subscription price of $1.50 per year or $1 for ¢ #® six months, payable in advance. . AT 3 : : For those who do not care to subscribe regularly, provision is being o & made to place the Leader on sale at all or most of the newsstands through- e ® out the state. Such agencies as are now offering the Leader for sale are 2 o as follows: ® [ Harris & Co., Bismarck * [ . Fifth Street News Co., Bismarck ’ S s N. P. Rosenberg, Devils Lake : Ulsaker Printing Co., Fargo a Mester’s Cigar Store, Fargo e Casselman’s Drug Stere, Fargo LEADER AS AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM = : The Leader prints from 85,000 to 50,000 papers each week and these % are read by nearly 100,000 persons in the state of North Dakota alone. ;@ This makes the Leader the greatest advertising medium in the state, and ‘® the paper goes into more farm homes than all the other papers in the ® state combined. Of course this great circulation and the effectiveness of ® the Leader as an advertising medium is one of the reasons for much of : the slander thrown by the opposition press. But we should worry. ® The business house, company, corporation or individual who wants # to reach the farmer consumers of this state will get the greatest results : from advertising in the Leader—not merely because it has so large a ® weekly circulation, but because it is a real live newspaper, filled with the : news and information which is not printed by any other new:gaper and o illustrated by its own artists and cartoonists. It’s a paper which is really ® read—not one that is thrown aside as so much waste paper. : 4 The Leader has the circulation, yes! But cireulation is not all to o bring the best results to the advertiser. The paper must be read by its ® subscribers, and if you will go anywhere in the state ?'fll see the : Leader being read and talked about as no other paper. Most read with @ approval, some howl with derision, some bitterly oppose the principles : purposes of the League and the Leader, but’ all read the Leader. o And, then, too, the members of the League are ing the ads and pat- ® ronizing the advertisers who are aiding in the publication of se interest- : mga:’glafirfm% t. ‘mse'ke‘thelmdath MWM ° ese features mal e um ® in the state; in fact if merchants want to reach all the farmers of No : Dakota there is no other paper or combination of papers in this state that o give them so good an opportunity. The Leader advertising from the $ standpoint of REAL RESULTS is the BEST and the CHEAPEST in the o state of North Dakota. i e ° o ° ® ° ° ® ° ° [ ] ° ® ® ° ° ° ° o THE FARMERS’ ADVERTISING COLUMN ; . . The farmer members of the League are finding the classified adver- tising columns of the Leader the greatest benefit in:selling and. trading in their products—and this advertising is printed at half rates to mem- bers, If you have anything to sell, or want to buy, or trade; need house or rflatm help, the Leader classified ad :columns will bring you speedy results. 5 £ ; £k If you want to sell seed, horsés, cows, chickens, éggs, pigs and other farm produce, old machinery and other farm equipment, or you want to buy any necessity for the farm, you can get the best of service and results through the Leader small ad page. Let’s prove it to you, or we will send your money back. G ASKEDand ANSWERED | The Leader will be glad to answer the questions of any of its readéi's seeking information within its ability to give.
