JONESVILLE IS “THE REAL DEAL”
After sifting through nearly 80 entries, the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) selected a new tagline that calls on Jonesville’s heritage as the home of the Deal Buggy Company and the Deal Automobile. Two different entrants suggested Jonesville be known as “The Real Deal.” The Jonesville City Council unanimously approved the DDA’s recommendation for the new tagline at their meeting on March 20th.
“We had many great entries and it made for a difficult decision,” said DDA Chair Don Toffolo. “We thought that the winning entry was clever and pithy. We liked that it incorporates a piece of Jonesville’s history.”
The creative slogan was submitted separately by two entrants, Paul Hosmer and Jeff Rowe. Each was the recipient of a prize of $50 in Jonesville Bucks. The City will be featuring marketing materials using the new tagline soon.
