filled with daisies. At each end of the
mantel was a tall pedestal surmount-

their niece, Lille Keen Martin. to
Walter Damtoft OF Bridgeport, Con-
necticut, the wedding to take place

NeWAdServiCe
for Merchants
Grit-Advocate Has the Exclusive
Rights for Bonnet.Brown
Service in County

The Grit Advocate is pleased to an
nounce that it has just closed a con-
tract with the Bonn nt-Brown Sales
Service of Chicago, by which it Sc
cures the exclusive use in this field
for term of months of their COM
plete advertising service.
The Bonnet Brown people are gen.
orally recognized as Americas great
est advertising service organization
their work having appeared in high
class magazines and metropolitan
dailies for years, but only recently
have they extended their field of
operations to papers in thc smaller
towns and cities and the Grit-Advo-
cate feels that it has made ten
strike in securing it for this city.
The service is new in Colorado, to
our knowledge this paper is the first
one in the state of Colorado to Sc
cure it, but nearly eighty-five papers
are using it in Nebraska and still
greater number in Iowa. Represen-
tive papers like the World Herald Of
Omaha carry it for their advertisers
and many Of the leading stores )f
the country make use Of it almost
daily in getting up their trade pull
ing announcements.
One fact we wish to specially en-
phnSize too, is that this not an alb
hre. lated service, but the full and
complete service used by the hiec pa
pers with nothing left out Every
thing turned out by the Bolnes Brown
people will be here ready for our
merchants as soon as it is anywhere
in the country. All the latest ideas
and up-to-the- minute suggestions !;
all their effective copy, layouts and
high class illustrations will come To
the Grit-Advocate monthly as it is is
sued.
One thing very necessary to good
advertising these days is good illus
trations, a picture frequently tells a
story better than words and the picl
turc is the universal language all can
understand. Big advertisers recog-
nize this fact and make their Illus
trations frequently OCCUPY a half or
three quarters or more of newspaper
space, and it is very expensive space
for them in the big dailies-but they
get results and consider it very good
investment.
Ordinarily it is very difficult TO get
enough good illustrations in the small
Ter towns--it has been up to the pres
ent time in Julesburg, but this will

cause we told him just what VIC

that when we wanted a rain coat, we
would go to one of our local mer-
chants and purchase the same-if VIC

we were most certainly going to sup

Now, we appeal to the citizens of

the matter in the right light. We

are doing their share in aiding the

they are deserving of your first con-
sideration. They will sell you goods
Of quality at reasonable price, and
are here three hundred and sixty-five

BAND Is MAN
ING 4 RAPID PROGRESS
WITH THE NEW LEADER

The Ju,e5burg band is making rap
i'd progress with the aid Of Leader c.
W. Bunch. The boys are taking in
terest in getting into playing shape,
and it is our opinion that it won't be
many weeks before the citizens of
Julesburg and community will enjoy
the privilege of band concerts.
A good band is good asset for a
town, and the Julesburg business men
realize this fact, as is evidenced by
the loyal support which the band is
being given in financial way. The
members of the band appreciate the
support and are doing their utmost
to perfect good musical organiza-
tion. Two nights are being utilized
each week thus far for practice work
and leader Bunch feels very optimis-
tic over the results being obtained. He
is an expert band man, having had
years Of experience with first class
musical organizations throughout the
United States, and Julesburg should
indeed feel fortunate in securing his
services permanently.
