The census OF 1890 gave the population
of the town OF Randolph as 3,Z3Z. The
HERALD distributes through the five post
offices in Randolph exactly 500 copies per
week. Some subscribers living IN neigh
boring towns take their mail at randolph
7 offices, but allowing for these, the HER.
2 AID has a circulation in this town equal
to one copy for every family OF i've. We
doubt il any other paper in Vermont can
J make as good showing. The paper Is
! paid for in advance in every case, 50 that
the people who take it can be relied upon
( as parties who pay their bills. We are
proud of the size and character of our
: list. 1t explains why advertising in tbs
HERALD pays, as all who have tried Il
know II does.
