FOR THE HOME NEWS
What is Thought of Service Up in
Windham County.

In it's issue of May LIST The Adver-
tiser of Danielson makes the follow
ing statement concerning the service
which The Bulletin furnishes to its
readers:
Country Journalism has radically
changed. Thirty years ago you could
MT hire city papers to publish cor
respondence news. Today the city pa
per is supplanting the country paper,
! which is fast becoming a thing of the
past. The<city paper covers the terri
tory the Country paper wants to cover
far better, far more thorough, than
the country paper ever covered it, or
proha bly, ever will cover it. These are
solid. cold facts that cannot be upset
by fAny amount of lying by the country
editor about his rapidly diminishing
Subscription list, to the positive hurt
70 his advertisers, as well as his own
, pocketbook. Take all of eastern
Windham county today. It depends
almost wholly upon the Norwich Bull
letin for its home local news, and The
Bulletin covers the territory in a re-
markedly efficient manner. 1t has
over 100 bright, alert correspondents,
and it brings all the local news direct
to our home each day by the R. F. D.
By the time the country paper reaches
| us the news is old. stale, unsatisfac-
tory-has become, in fact, a very I'M
satisfactory proposition, for we have
read the very same items days before
in The Norwich Bulletin, and we tell
the solicitor sent out by the country
paper for our subscription: mo, thank
you; we prefer The Norwich Bulletin,
| so that we may get our news when 1t
is news" We know it to be a fact
that very large percentage of readers
OF country papers have switched off
from the country paper to The Nor
witch Bulletin. You can't blame them.
They are getting an eminently better
proposition than any country local
newspaper could offer them. In fifty
years we have noted the changes in
business conditions, this business and
that has been forced to the wall and
out of existence by superior competi-
| tive serVice-and the person who
shuts their eyes to these facts will,
sooner or later, run up against the
real thing Today the best PROPOSE
Norwich Bulletin. which brings you
all of the very latest news of the past
"a hours each morning direct to your
breakfast table. To take a country
paper these days borders just a, bit on
the farcicaL. But, Just the same, if
you are content to read moving pic
ture boiler plate stuff by the ton and
local news that's almost old enough to
vote, If not quite ready to bury-pay-
ing your. good money for such rot-the
country paper-what's left of it
stands ready to supply your wants, at
S1-5e per. and lesser bargains at ST.
For the man who wants to get news
while it is news, and full value for
his good money spent for advertising
purposes, it is, in our opinion, worse
than an UP to date bunco game, for
you don't get what you pay for. Our
advice Is of you want all the news
when it is news, read The Norwich
Bulletin-that's the proper caper, ev-
erybody's doing it-and cut out from
your list the superannuated country
