success of the undertaking.
In numerous ways the paper has
helped to put your name before the
people And you would never have
had your lucrative Office or your hon
orable recognition from the commun-
ity but for the kind aid of the local
printer.

school or society of any sort, that

your meetings.

would like to have known, but which
modesty or necessity prevents you from

prosperous and fortunate in your af-
fairs, the paper has boosted you all
the way. If you had misfortune, the
paper asked for sympathy in your be-
half
Thus the paper has rejoiced when
you rejoiced and wept when you wept.
If you are good and enterprising cit
izen, the paper will always be your
friend and viii back YOU in your en-
terprises and will help to find your
business friends.
1t tells you where to buy and where
to sell. 1t tells of rogues to be avoid
ed.
1t tells you of current prices and
prevents you from being cheated and
swindled in 100 ways.
Finally, when you die, the paper
will publish your obituary and will
cover over your faults and will recite
the story Of your good deeds.
All these things the local editor
will cause his paper to do, but no one
else in the world will do them or can
do them for you even for love or mon
ey. The outside paper is stranger
to your little world and is not at all
interested in its Improvement. Yet
your local paper does all this free of
cost to you, if you are willing to re-
ceive it that way. However, for your
sake, we hope you are too generous to
accept so many unrequited favors and
that you are willing to reciprocate the
same.
