Having recently purchased, at quite
a heavy expense, new type for the
MONITOR, including most of our ad
vertising type, we appear to-day in
bright, clean, new dress which will be
enjoyed by all our readers. 1t is our
aim to make the MONITOR all we can
make it in the character of the mate
rial and type used, and in the matter
| that enters it's columns. We are aware
that it is not by any means perfect,
| but its faults, provoking often to 9TH
ers, are a grief to us. 1t is always our
wish to make it a welcome visitor to
the many homes where it is sent
| weekly. 1t may be a fact that some
of our patrons do not fully appreciate
that the cost of paper printed with
as good material and as good paper as
this is printed on is great deal more
than one printed with worn out type
on cheap wood paper, such as some of
our neighbors are using. AS the pat
ronage of the MONITOR increases we
intend to add considerably to its val
ne, if good material and good
work can do it. Our patrons have
been very kind and generous toward
US, and if we can merit their favor it
this paper of such character that no
inferior publication can thrive in
our location and sphere.
