THE VALUE OF A GOOD LOCAL
PAPER.

In fighting retail mail order house
competition, editors of local papers can
render exceedingly valuable help and
the merchant no fails to make a warm
friend of the local editor is neglecting
one of his important advantages.
To make the local editor friend of
yours, probably the necessary first step
is to stop treating him as something
that must be maintained in order to
uphold the dignity of the town.
OF course, 1.-THE editors themselves are
largely to blame for the general inn
preston that the chief value of local
paper is as evidence that the town is
fully up to date.
