Advertis- ing has reduced their cost by spreading the news of them the world over and by distributing them extensively enough to allow of whole- sale production which minimizes cost. ‘While the field of advertisingg is limitless, that in Eastern Con- necticut is thoroughly covered by the widespread circulation of 'Ths Bulletin. ‘It puts your business proclamation before the buyers.
