OVER 100 NEW SUBSCRIBERS
News-Budget Goes Into More Lady
smith Homes Than Any
Other Paper

During the past three weeks, over
lou new cash subscribers have been
secured for the News-Budget in the
City Of Lady smith, as the result of
a house-to-house canvass
Added to our already-large list, this
big increase gives this paper the
largest circulation in Ladysmith Of
Any paper and we also claim the
largest total circulation of any paper
in Rusk county.
A Challenge
The News-Budget challenges any
paper to deny the above statements
and, if any paper can demonstrate
that they are incorrect, we will cheer
fully acknowledge our error. If any
paper denies the correctness of these
claims, let them select two adver-
tisers as judges, publishing their
names in their next issue. We will
DO the same and the committee thus
selected can decide the matter after
an examination of both lists, their re-
port TO be published.
