WHAT THEY SAY.
Three Prominent and Progressive Bust
ness Men Are Pleased With the
New Mexican.

| II am proud OF the New Mexican sine
it has come out enlarged, said w. N
Townsend, of the Santa Fe Hardwar,
Company, to New Mexican represent
ative. Then Mr.. Townsend continued:
"We ought to all be proud of it, for it is
now credit to Santa Fe. 1t has always
stood as the most extensively quoted anG
best known paper in the territory, and
has been thoroughly representative OF
the Capital City, but now you are giving
us better paper than the city supports.
think it is all right all this week, and
further that the people of Santa Fe
ought to give the New Mexican hearty
encouragement to continue to grow bet
ter and to improve. Our firm carries
the largest advertisement in the paper
and believe in the virtue of printers
nix and in encouraging the home paper.
At the same time believe in advertising
strictly as business proposition, and
we get value received for the cost of the
half page which we occupy. Go right
on and make the New Mexican to all of
New Mexico what the Star has been to
Kansas City and its territory. 1 think
the people Of Santa Fe will indorse the
New Mexican's efforts in this"
what do think of the New Mex
ican" These were the words of Mr..
John V. Conway, "Well, actions speak
louder than words, and the fact that l
have placed an advertisement in the
columns OF the paper and am sending
subscriptions to friends out of the city
shows you what l think Of the paper
You are getting out good paper,
newspaper that none of the citizens of
Santa Fe need apologize for when they
send it to a friend, and you deserve the
hearty cooperation of every person in
the city in your efforts to give Santa Fe
representative newspaper. l am de-
lighted with the paper and with its
policy of telling the news first of all. 1t
is thoroughly representative of the
Capital City and deserves the patronage
OF the business men of-Santa Fe."
"You are getting out better paper
than tho city Of Santa Fe has been pay
ing for" said Mr.. Leo Hersch to New
Mexican representative, ''and you de-
serve the, hearty support Of the business
men in the effort. Santa Fe is the cap
ital Of New Mexico, and the New Mex
lean being the only daily paper pub
lished in the Capital City should be the
leading paper of the territory, and is, for
that matter, but with the additional
cost attached to issuing the paper in its
present size should not be left to the
management OF the paper, but ought to
be borne by the business enterprises of
the Capital City in the way of increased
business patronage for the paper. Every
merchant who has not heretofore pa
tronized the paper ought to be repre-
sented in its advertising columns,
and those who can afford it should take
more space than 7thav now have with
one or two exceptions. Notone Of them
