MEN WHO HAVE APREALEG TO
OUR COLUMNs
As the Best Medium to Adyertise
Thfer Holiday Novelties What to
Buy and Where to Buy It.


Buy and Where to Buy It.
With the coming of Christmas thu
usual questions Of what shall buy
and "Where shall buy" my presents
are the things that bother the aver
age purchaser. and to those we would
simply say consult the columns Of
the TRANSCRIPT. For the past three
weeks we have presented to our read
ers the tempting array OF holiday
goods which our Middletown mer-
chants have secured and placed be-
fore you from which to make your
selection. They vie with one another
in presenting novelties both useful
and ornamental and in point OF
beauty and low price you cannot do
better anywhere else.
The TRANSCRIPT has been the me-
dium through which our merchants
have sought to reach the reading
public, and their appreciation of our
efforts have not been in vain. We
have distributed with this issue
$1,000 copies during the past three
weeks, and our advertising space has
been increased by the business that
has come to us unsolicited.
Next week we will again get down
to our usual four pages, and can pro-
mise our readers even better paper
than through the exigencies OF the
occasion we have been compelled to
give them.
The subscription list is still increas-
NO. and when we enter upon the
New Year we will open our new boo ks
with at least 1900 names on our list.
This is the largest circulation ever
gained by any newspaper in Middle |
town, and we propose to have at least
twice that number before the close of
another year.
