WHAT WE CLAIM

We just claim to be printing the best
paper in the county and will continue
to do so as long as we stay in the bus
mess. When We took charge. one man
was able To do all the work; now we
employ five good printers and furnish
employment for eight people. and are
the means Of supporting about twelve
persons. We spend our money with
the home merchants and pay our bills
promptly. We feel highly pleased for
the outlook of a prosperous season and
feel that the people of this city should
judge for themselves whether we are
conducting ourselves as good law-abid-
ing citizens. rather than take the word
OF men who are not interested in the
welfare of our city. You will always
find Us ready and willing to lend help
ing hand 10 any worthy object that
tends to the upbuilding Of fair Whit
Springs and its worthy citizens. and
only ask the cooperation Of all - as
sist US in this worthy cause Our ex-
penses TO begin with were about four
dollars a day; now they amount to over
sixteen dollars a day-or about four
hundred dollars each month. Do YOU
think We have been and are a prospe-
ing concern?-White Springs Herald
