Merchants and others are hereby re-
minded that the New MEXICAN is pre-
pared to do their printing on short notice
and at reasonable rates. Much of the job
printing now going out OF town should
come to the New MEXICAN office. There
in no better excuse for sending out of
town for printing than there is for sending
away for groceries or clothing. Our nler-
chants should consider these things. The
New MEXICAN is acknowledged the lead
ing paper OF this section. Tie patronage
of the people will enable us to keep it so.
