Dear Mr. Merchant:
A recent survey prepared by the
Commerce Department of the Fresno
State College shows that our students spend in Fresno more than
$1,250,000 every school year. In
addition to thi3 figure, faculty
and other salaries raise the
total to a purchasing power of
$1,490,193.63. Let us estimate
that at least 4%  of that amount
is being spent in the business in
which you are engaged. This figure shows S59.607.75 potential
business a year. Are you getting
your share?  '
We know that you are anxious to
increase your sales and your
profit. The Collegian, reaching
2450 students twice weekly, is an
excellent medium for you to present your name and your merchandise to then.
One hundred sixty-one merchants
have used The Collegian during the
past year, over one-fifth advertising at least monthly.
When you have weighed these
facts carefully, simply phone
2-7187 for a connection with The
Collegian office, and a representative will be sent to you
promptly.
■Sincerely yours,
LIONEL STEINBERG,
Business Manager.
