TO BE GAINED BY THE BUSINESS MEr
OF FREEHOLD AND SURROUNDING
TOWNS WHO ARE REPRESENTED
IKTHE ILLUSTRATED HIsroRI-
CAL EDITION WHICH Is NOW
BEING COMPILED IN THE
OFFICE OF THE INQUIRER

In the first place this edition is one
| that will be illustrated with such pic
i lures as your public buildings
school house, churches, etc. This 16
page edition isto be printed on heavy
book paper, SO that all cuts and
printed matter will show up to the
best advantage and the historical
part of this edition, both the business
houses, the township and surround
ing country, will be the most com
plete thing Of the kind ever publish
ed in a newspaper and will be some
thing that everybody will keep for
future reference.
Thirdly, this entire special edition
is to be distributed entirely free. We
do not rely entirely on the circulation
we give this paper to reach every
body in this section, as every busi-
ness house that is represented gets
from 3 to Is copies with the under
standing that they will circulate them
to the best advantage of everybody.
And then again we are also writing
up history of six or eight small sur
rounding towns and their represen-
tative business houses which guar
antees every firm represented a COM
parative house to house circu-
iation in each of these towns; in
fact this Historical Edition will not
only receive thorough circulation
in the surrounding country and towns
but will go throughout the country,
as one of the main objects of this edi-
ton is to induce the manufactures
and resident to locate here, as every
business man in the United States is
cognizant of the necessity of reducing
the cost of conducting his business to
figure lower than that of his COM
petitor and the more enterprising are
giving the matter their earnest study
as to how they can lessen the present
cost of handling their articles of mer-
chandise, and thus meet their active
competition and still make money.
In this connection it will be our
pleasure to call the attention of the
readers of our Illustrated Historical
Edition to a careful perusal of the ar
tcle on the township of Freehold

compilation of this Edition.

The New Brunswick FREEDMAN
says: Newspaper speculation as to
what Ex-Congressman hean will or
will not do in politics in 1898 is prob
ably premature. But there is no
doubt that Mr. kean will be so near
to the front that very near-sighted
man will be able to see him without
the aid of glasses. Mr.. kean has so
far said nothing to indicate whether
he will be a candidate for the guber-
material nomination or for the posi-
tion of United States Senator, and
what has been said of him in either
of these connections is purely specUla-
tive. 1t is interesting, of course, but
it is not official.
