A POTENT FAcToR

The HEENfB's exchanges frequently
remark upon the fact that the adveriis-
ing columns Of this journal are plain
and uneqHisocal evidence Of the prosper
ity Of Fairhaven. They and the IlER-
AIDS distant readers. generally, are nat
urally enough impressed with the idea,
aud well-Warranted one. that We're the
business men of town advertise liber-
ally in their heal papers. that the town
must be vigorous. enterprisng ana pros
porous. This fact adyertiSes Fairhaven
In the best possible way aud much more
extensively than the casual observer
would at first suppose. Thus the adver-
tsements which appear in the HELAI.p
are doing the double duty of attracting
trade to the establishments of the indi-
vidual advertisers. and collectively. Of
attracting attention to the city in which
the HERALD i printed.

Is delighted at the general results. alluded

management Of the paper has decided up
