With this issue The Reporter enters
upon it's twenty eighth year. During
these years Edgerton has developed from
small hamlet into the most important
tobacco market for cigar leaf in the en-
tire country. How much of its success
and reputation is due to this newspaper
as an exponent of the trade, we leave to
our readers to judge. The Reporter has
been a constant advocate Of the material
advancement of the town and continu-
Gus advertiser of it's principal industry
AS such we believe it is entitled to the
support and encouragement of every
loyal citizen. Others may come and bid
for business, but will find The Reporter
is ready to protect it's trade and meet all
competition.
