"Yes."

ADVERTISING AT ONE CENT A
WORD FOR EACH INSERTION.

To enable the readers of the MORNING News
to advertise at a mere nominal figure a rate
Of ONE CENT A WORD was established
about eighteen months ago for advertisements
inserted in the Cheap Column. This column
has been well patronized and is now popular
feature of the paper. There are many people,
however. who would avail themselves of the
advantages offered by advertising, but they do
not because they do not, or think they do not,
know how to write an advertisement To
meet this difficulty the MORNING News takes
this method of informing advertisers who de-
sire to use the Cheap Column that there are
clerks in the Office from A. NJ to 10 p. NJ.
who will write up advertisements in proper
form. The Cheap Column is open to any un-
Objectionable advertisement thus giving bust
ness men, as well as the transient advertiser,
the advantages of presenting their announce
ments to the public at a small cost.
