For the past couple of weeks I have been canvassing local merchants, urging them to practice what they preach by supporting their local newspaper.

I asked them to take a new subscription to the Sierra Star or renew their present ones in the name of their business. I pointed out that the Star is a local business run by local people who are conversant with and knowledgeable of most everything local.

The response has been gratifying and I have a long list of those who agreed with my contention that Eastern Madera County needs a newspaper of its own, and we have one, so let's act like it.

If your name is not on my list, contact me at the paper and I'll see what I can do to get you on the team.

Grandpa says: "Doing business without advertising is like winking at a girl in the dark -- you know what you're doing but no one else does."
