This is a great, cost-effective opportunity for anyone looking for new markets to promote their product or service.

Total Circulation: 9,700,000+ million.

Price for 25 word classified: $997

Additional words: $17.00 each additional.

Your ad will run one time in each paper during the designated week. Ad deadline is one week prior to publication. Your ad will run within a 10 day window time from the day of submission.
