Advertising

We are the Butterfield Homeowners Administration, an organization that has been serving the people of the Butterfield subdivision for over 60 years! Many people have expressed an interest in advertising in our popular news journal and on our website, as our news journal is delivered four times per year to all of our members, as well as a number of influential people and organizations outside of our subdivision. And our website is of course delivered to the whole world. If you are interested in advertising, or have further questions prior to purchasing advertising, please let us know by emailing us at doug@dougelwellinc.com or calling 630-376-6498. Here are our ad sizes and rates:
