I would call the ads and say if you continue to try and sell your products in this rag, I will buy at another business that doesn't advertize in that paper.
I saw where a car dealer made an offer of $5,000.00 for an ad that cost him 25,000.oo last year and they took it.
Clever idea. Both our local daily papers (the one from the Big City and the one from the county seat) are leftist tripe. The county paper drops off a freebie often enough that we can use it to line the snake’s cage.
