The Want Ad Page
Of q Newspaper

Os - NCW Sk0VOf
If there were no other means of de-
termining the standing Of newspa-
per in the community in which it cir
cuIates, its Want Al page would form
almost an absolute index to the posi-
ton it holds in the esteem Of those
who read and patronize il
So true is this that it has now be-
come the rule with advertising ex-
perts. when placing contracts with
papers which they have not previously
tested, to give the preference in every
case to the newspaper which is recog-
nized as the community's Want AID.

That is one reason why the great
majority Of foreign advertisers doing

also leads the larger local advertiser
to use The Journal for his display adj

Do you know that you read the

as regularly and as studiously as you
do its news columns?

you. but it is fact nevertheless.

or that it would be possible to get to

There you become acquainted, al

usual there Will be given the very best
stock show, including faces. fancy

An added feature is the almost ceI-
tain promise that the Hon. RObt. l..

liver the address; and to cap
the climax, the Business Men 6
Club has decided to give free
barbecue on the grounds; and for this
purpose Southport will donate the
services of the celebrated Leach
brothers. whose baIbecues at the Big
Spring have tickled the palates of so
many people in the state, that the
words Southport and barbecue
have almost become SYNONYMOUS.
Committees are now ont soliciting
sheep and shoats' and other sinews of
