AS an illustration what an adv.
| in the Review will do. a lady in
Portland called up recently and
asked that we send her several
copies of the Review. This was
done, and last week she called
| in this office and stated that she
had secured a property here
through an adv. therein. and
also a neighor TO whom she had
| shown the paper had also bought
a property here which she saw
advertised in this paper. The
Review has been responsible for
many realty sales.
OF the three candidates from
| st. Johns only one was successful
Dow Walker. as Republican
delegate to the Republican Con-
yention at Chicago. Mr.. Muck
was defeated for County Com
missioner nomination by a very
small margin. in fact it is said
had he succeeded in getting one
more vote in each voting precinct
he would have been nominated.
In spite of the attitude of some
of the Portland press he made a
splendid run. ID. c. Lewis for
State Senator also made a good
run and was not far behind the
successful ones.
