AN INTRODUCTION

The Democrat takes this methoC
of introducing to the people Of Lib
eral and vicinity Mr.. Giles E. Miller
who in the future will be in charg,
of the paper.
Mr.. Miller is no new hand at the
business, having been connected witt
the newspaper and printing business
for many years. For the past foul
years he has sold paper for the
Central-Topeka Paper Co., of To.
peka, but firing of travelling decid.
ed to leave the company. When the
fact that he desired to quit the road
became known many desirable po-
sitions were offered him, but the
prospects of advancement of Liberal
overshadowed all others and he
comes to do all in his power to assist
in keeping the town and country on
the upgrade.
The continued poor health of the
owner made it necessary to have a
competent man in charge of the bus
mess, and we deem ourselves fortu-
nate in securing the services of Mr..
Miller. He not only understands the
news end, but is posted on advertis-
ing, and is besides an excellent
printer. While he will have no time
to devote to the mechanical end he
is in position to lay out work and
pass on it, and will insist that high
standard of excellence be maintain
ed.
He will move his family here from
Hutchinson as soon as school is out,
and become a part of Liberal.
We commend Mr.. Miller to our
patrons and hope they will assist him
in every possible way. He will have
full charge of the business and any
agreement he makes will be binding.
During our acquaintance with him
we have found him absolutely trust
worthy, and have no hesitancy in
placing our business in his hands.
Call and get acquainted with him.
Bring him your advertising and
printing problems. He will be glad
to see you.
As soon as Mr.. Miller gets on to
the. run of things in the office it is
our intention to take ar extended
vacation and try to get back on our
feet physically.
