Some of the Bulgarian emigrants from Macedonia were masters of a craft or a profession and managed to develop their own small business in the New World. Others opened hotels or eating houses. They began to use the emigrant newspapers as a way to become more popular among the community by publishing there different kinds of advertisements, in which they clearly stated their national origin and identity.

Here you can see examples of those advertisements from the beginning of the 20th century.
