The Charleston Retail Merchants cent
association has decided to place a a n?
half-page advertisement in seveu- cans
teen county papers within a radius Kesti
of 10'J miles of Charleston to ad- ,hat
vertise the town as a retail market ^ ere
There will be no individual advertising
of merchants, but merely advertising
Charleston. "There is

power in advertising in the county
weekly." says a story in the News l)f 1
and Courier telling of the scheme. !,1?r<
There is power in advertising in
the county weekly. Decidedly more 1IU,,(
power than in any othei class of 'aJ)S(
newspapers and than any other class w
