Need marketing advice?
Painting of two men in shirtsleeves holding their hats in a conifer forest, one resting a hand on a large trunk, a dog at their feet, with the headline Need marketing advice? and a line sending timber owners to a county agent, state or federal forester. The technique is faint: ordinary working men and a rural setting present the service as approachable.
