German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she hoped the G-20 leaders meeting Friday and Saturday would be able to find “compromises and answers” on a wide range of issues. Merkel said leaders would address regulating finan- cial markets, fighting terrorism and pandemics and combatting climate change, among other issues. She said “free, rule-based and fair trade” will be an impor- tant issue. “You can imagine that there will be discussions that will not be easy,” she said. “Globalization can be a win- win situation.

A large sign in a shop window near the summit venue featured pictures of the three with the slogan: “We don’t want that!” A large banner hanging from a building overlooking the congress center where the leaders will meet said: “G20 Members: Respect the rule of law!” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Chinese President Xi Jinping and South African President Jacob Zuma were among the first to arrive on Thurs- day, while Trump joined in the late afternoon, flying in from a stop in Warsaw.

This STK#Z132211P STK#H119281P little ad simply $ $ $ $ stated a message from a 23900 23900 24900 34900 local business to the readers of the paper day after day. In fact, the little ad was in the paper 3 days a week for 13 weeks. It just lay there on the pages in all of those editions alongside the news of the day including the obituaries, weddings, city council meeting details, editorial opinions, sports reports, want ads, feature stories and more. But a funny thing happened… the people who were interested in reading all those other things in the paper also read the little ad and began to respond to the message it contained. It wasn’t long until that business began to notice an increase in their “business”. So they called the paper and said they wanted to run another little ad but this time maybe not so little and possibly a little more often. Isn’t it nice to see how little things can lead to even bigger and better things when they are done in the right way? Best of all, this story is not a fairy tale either. We have helped it happen over and over again and we’ll be happy to talk to you about running a little ad in the paper too! Call 221-2843.
