Maybe the editor doesn't belong
to your church Or lodge or political

than you have dreamed of doing
to keep your town on the map.
But he cant paint in glow ing col

it in forever, unless he is a m an
of independent fortune. If he is
the right sort he wont ask you to
advertise or subscribe unless you
get a hundred cents worth for a

praises in a much clearer tenor if
his advertising columns are well
