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.
