The late Hon. David Davis once said:
Each year every local paper gives
from 500 to IS, 900 in free lines for the
benefit Of the community In which it
is located. No other agengsy can or
will do this. The local editor in proper
ton to his means, does more for his
own town than any other ten men, and
in fairness, man with man, he ought to
be supported, not because you like
him or admire him or his writings; but
because local paper is the best in
vestment . community can make. 1t
may not be brilliant or crowded with
great thoughts Uut financially tits
more of benefit to community
than preacher or teacher. Under
stand us now, we do not mean moral
ly or intellectually but financially, and
yet on the moral qaastion you will find
the majority Of lseal papers do the
most work for the lsast money. Sub
scribe for your losal paper, not as a
charity but as an investment.
