Salem so I advertised in your book and got several

"I know you've got some big competitors but that's a good thing because you provide something they don't. What is going to set you aside from them is your personal caring customer service. I've never seen anyone in yellow pages that cares like you do."
Scottie, Red Rooster (New Advertiser referred by current Advertiser)
"I've got every copy you've ever printed. I like to keep one in my car, my office at the high school and take one to my home in Culpepper to use if I'm up there and need somebody here in Salem.
