One of the common errors made by advertisers, especially those new to the billboards, is the general assumption that one town is as good as an- other in so far as its billboards are concerned. The merits of the various biilposting services throughout the country, vary as regards merit fully as widely as do publications. There is a good, better, best to them, and Port Huron is the last named class. It has well-built billboards. It has intelligent billposters. It has well-placed billboards. It has an excellent distributing service. When you are picking out a list of towns, pick out good ones like Port Huron. THE BENNETT BILLP0STIN6 CO.. Port Huron, Mich.
