The Window Reporter comes to us
in a new dress and very much changed
and improved in appearance. It is
just as near the ADVANCE now in size
and makeup as we could wish, the
home matter being on the inside, in.
stead of the outside as heretofore. and
the type and headings being just about
to our taste. We congratulate our
friend Huntington on the change and
commend 4is judgment.
By the way, it strikes us that the
Reporter has been enjoying an exceed.
ingly 'Prat ke''-fourteen columns
of mail lettings to advertise. No won
der the Reporter is introducing i'm:
provmements. Can't you arrange
somehow, Huntington, so we can ''gc
snooks?''
If there are two papers in the world
which we wish to see in a flourishing
condition, they are the Window Re-
porter and the paper published al
Wortlington, Minnesota.
