NEW ADVERTISING SCHEDULE

AS announced twice last week, our
advertising rates from the first OF
May are based on the circulation OF
1000 paid subscriptions, making the
basis 80 cents an inch. For some
months it has been based on the paid
circulation of 1900 tho it exceeded
that by a large number.
The corresponding price of SO
cents an inch for front page position
and 35 cents for local page took et-
feet with our first issue in May.
The advertiser who buys front
page space in The Republican knows
he is securing the best advertising
medium there is in the county, and
the public know that he must have
something that is worth investigat-
ing or he would not be able to main
tain such a showing. Take notice OF
who uses the front page and what
they are saying. ozo-z
