The PATRIOTS Offer

TIE PATRIOT Is advertising An offer
TO send the PATRIOT free for one
month 10 any address desired. We
have had q good number Of requests
for this free sample subscription.
We have noted In the course OF our
experience that person, firm or cor
pofaiior offering 10 send free samples
OF its product usually had The goods to
recommend IL. II one Is willing 10
have goods tested without cost IL Is
o safe deduction that the person or
firm producing IL hiss confidence in its
own product aud is willing To have II
put In comparison with other Ike pro-
duets.
We have long felt and believed that
the PATRIOT may safely be put in
com pafison With any weekly paper IN
the county and We have therefore IN
this manner invited comparison with
other weekly papers believing that ~
so doiag many people Will become con.
WINGED that the PATRIOT is u newspa-
per that will bring the current events
OF the week from the territory II serves
before the reading public in Glenn,
readable manner.
The PATRIOT has never attempted
TO go beyond its sphere Of weekly
family newspaper. We realize TINT
the day has gone by when the public
looks 10 n weekly paper TO give them
world wide, coantfy-wide or even
state wide service. This is due to the
increased postal service which brings
the metropolitan daily TO the home in
the early morning hours.
We believe TINT weekly paper, a
paper such rs the PATRIOT, Is looked
to for news, stories aud personal itens
wholly of local nature. 1t Is this
field that we seek 10 cover In u bright,
interesting manner and IL l. for this
that We recommend the PATRIOT to
the renders Of Windhnm county.
While IL Is admittedly the aim OF
every purchaser to get The best there Is
t0t thu itthlltN Nif9HAif 1t -
sometimes the case that one gets into n
rut and does OF take the trouble or go
10 the smnii expense To determine
whether or not the best l. being re.
eeived. II chance for mparison
may be Ind for The nsking 1t some
times changes the point of view and
asssens the purchaser 10 the fact thai
the market affords better article foi
the same money than he has beer
getting.
We aim to make the PATRIOT the
best weekly newspaper in the 0lnty
We nre willing TO su nit the paper "a
anyone for the asking ms our fREt
offer evidences. One accepting this
offer Is not bound in any way. W,
make the offer 10 The belief that q tria
subscription for month Will convincs
those who accept the offer that III,
PATRIOT Is well worth the 81 80 a yea
that l. asked for 1t. 1t will entertain
and instruct ils readers rs To whit /,
going on In this city and its environ,
and Ms TO coming affairs and events.
In like manner with our news ser
vice we devote our editorial column I,
comment and criticism of local atlsir,
wholly We believe that in this de
partment rs in the news department
that readers OF their local paper lool
for editorials with local color.
As stated nj the start we hnve re
ceived good number of application
for these tIial subscriptions, SOM
sending their own names aud SOM
good friends sending the names o
others who they think would be inter
ested In this proposition, being them
selves convinced OF the merits of III
PATRIOT rs n local, home family pape
