Next month the HERALD will Celebrate
it's twenty fifth anniversary, lhe paper
having been established on May 2Sth,
1870. Ii commenaoration of the event the |
publishers will issue a silver souvenir, !
which will be one of the largest and best |
editions of newspaper ever issued in the
county. 1t will be profusely and beauti
fully illustrated and cover the rapid
! growth and natural advantages and re
sources of Shenandoah which will be
lexcellently portrayed by experienced
4 newspaper men.
This edition will positively not be of
the catch-penny order, and will not be
issued as drag net for advertising. The
publication will be first class and
beautifully printed and illustrated his
torical issue, giving history of the town
and all its public departments Qncluding
an exhaustive review of the public school
system) for the past thirty years. This is
a souvenir edition-not an ordinary ami
versary issue and will entail an immense
expenditure on the part of the publishers.
The souvenir will be sold at five
cents copy. Shenandoah possesses
every advantage in location and enter
prise, toge ther with excellent water and
every inducement for manufacturing
purposes. The steam railroads, the Lee
high Valley, Reading and Pennsylvania
connect us with the principal markets OF
the country, and two trolley systems
brings us within touch of all surround.
ing towns. In addition to this coal can
! be purchased at merely nominal figure
from the mines that surround us and
! which contain an inexhaustible supply.
To bring all these facts forcibly
to the attention of the outside world must
/ result in great benefit to the
town and this the HERALD has under.
J taken single handed. 1t will be a great
e task, but the HERALD feels confident of
1 it's ability to carry it through successfully
and it will certainly succeed if the bust
ness people and prominent people of the
town will contribute little help. A re
a view of Shenandoah's leading industries,
a professional men and business houses will
e also be incorporated in the issue and the
e whole will be fit for addition to libraries
AS is customary on the part of all pub
t lication houses, the HERALD will reserve
r q limited number of pages of the edition

y Particular attention is called to tn
