connected with The Daily Sentinel
of this city. In noting the change
in which he purchases the interest
of Mr.. Lee, Mr.. Bunting felicitates
himself that his career in the news
paper field in this city has not been
unmiXed with pleasure as well as

Grand Junction Herald: During
The past week I, N Bunting, editor
of The Daily Sentinel, purchased the
interest of Howard T. Lee, who. with
Mr. Bunting. established the paper
some fourteen years ago. We un
derstand that $4,000 was the con-
sideration for the half interest. For
the past nine years Mr.. Lee has been
partner. and what measures of sue
cess The Sentinel has enjoyed is en-
tirely due to the energies of Mr..
Bunting. The newspaper fraternity
Of this city owes much to Mr.. Bunt
ing. 1t is largely due to his business
methods that the newspaper bust
ness in this city has been placed up
IN a substantial basis, and is con
lucted upon the same principles as
other lines of business. it is only
papers in other localities, where they
we're expected to take their pay for
Advertising and subscription in chips

20 conduct the business on business
principles.
Glenwood Post: Mayor Editor
Bunting of The Grand Junction Sen
iinel has purchased the interest in
the plant heretofore held by Howard
r. Lee, and will hereafter exercise
enjoy the full emoluments. The Post
is glad to note this transfer, for to
the unbounded energy of Mr.. Bunt-
ing is due the prosperity which the
paper has achieved, and he is Ger
tainly entitled to the reward which
follows honest toll, Grand junction
IS good newspaper town, and his
competitors admit that it is so large
ly through the business methods
adopted by |. n. Bunting. No com
Bunting either personally or through
secretary and then give him the
price contracted. Bunting won't
stand for such fimfam tactics. He
does honest work and demands and
receives honest pay for the same.
Like lHe rest OF us, ne gives Il Teas-
enable amount of his advertising
space to matters of public local in
terest provided he is treated decent
ly by the promoters of such enter
prises. Bunting is more than glad
10 contribute his full share to all
efforts to build up his town; but he
refuses to be "millled" for the sole
purpose of putting money into the
pockets of those business men whose
delight and boast it is, that they
flourish through the advertising eff
forts of the local paper without any
cost to themselves. He does not seek
to force his work on people; but, if
they want it, they must pay for it.
That's |. n. Bunting, and Editor
