car loads of bran new ones arrived Mon
day, and it seems as though nearly

going to have came in 1909. Our streets
this week certainly show a prosperous
spring opening for 1910.
j. F. Sanders is the proud owner of
the largest car of this shipment, a
Buick 81. There were two other
Bucks, and six Fords in all. The names
of the owners were published two weeks

Some things have been said about the
local paper that gets the best results
Advertising. There are two things
always deemed essential to get results:
first, an artistic arrangement of the
ad and second, circulation. In the
first there is no argument. Any school
boy can see by looking over the differ
ent papers that those in the lNpEPEN-
DENT are so far ahead of the rest that
there is no comparison; all of the local
business men agree to this. As to
circulation, no one believes what papers
say about this, so it is little use to state
it. But you can settle it for yourself
if you wish. and if you are an adver-
tiser you probably will Just go to the
other papers and look over their list, if
they will permit it, then come here.
No one else talks to you that way, do
they? We know the paper that gets
the results and we know why.
