How THE NEW SIZE IS RECEIVED
Our patrons in every instance, thus far, APP
prove our course in reducing the size and
maintaining the old price. Indeed, we find
them Unexpectedly hearty. They say they
prefer TO pay higher price when the times
become better. OF course there are many
who would willingly pay more now, but
many others who are less favored, prefer TO
wait a more favorable period. The TINES
/ this week is not what we meant to have il.
owing to the nonreception of some new type
we had expected. Our paper maker, too,
WAS unable to furnish 4 he proper size for our
eliticn this week. and we have therefore
boon compelled to take such as he had on
hand. We shall have TO use the same next
week, after which we hope to have size in
proper proportion.

j We beg pardon for the use of certain
names in the 9 Bridgman letter" In car
rying out that little piece of " strategy" it
was necessary to use some good names, and
