The paper now has five horseback
carriers, besides the Main street car
rier, the A. & NJ. college carrier and
the hundreds that go out every morn
ing on the six rural routes leading
out from Bryan.
In addition to increased circulation,
many new and pretty type faces and
other materials are being added,
bringing the job printing department
up to the highest standard of excel
lence. The equipment of the office and
the skilled men employed make it alb
solutely unnecessary for Bryan people
to send away for anything they may
need in the printing line.
The management takes pride in the
fact that they are giving their sub
scribers first-class paper and their
advertisers a first-class service. The
paper will continue to grow as the
town grows, and that it may do the
greatest good possible to the whole
community, the hearty cooperation of
the people is earnestly asked.
