The Patriot faces the new year bet
ter equipped than ever 10 care for Its
growing business
Some Of the new machinery in
stalled during last year include q
large power paper cutter, new job
press and pony cylinder press. With
the new pony cylinder press The Pa
triot is equipped to handle large jobs

than ever In its history.
The newspaper has been kept TO d
high standard during the past year,
but an attempt will be made to pro-
duce even better paper this year Of
1920.
II Is gratifying to have received 50
many compliments for the appear
ance of the paper ar has come to the
office during the past year. The Pa
triot is one Of the best weekly papers
printed IL not only prints the news,
but prints it in detail and IN an at

print local news. In addition to this,
stories that break in the county and

permits news of national character
boiled down for quick perusal il feat
urci The They Say column has
become feature. The women have
taken kindly to the Women's Column
and column for the farmers has
proved a success.
The Patriot prints the news while
it is news. 1t may truthfully be said
that during the past year The Patriot
has printed many important stories
that hive not appeared in any other
paper and has printed many other
stories first.
The circulation has grown steadily
the past twelve months and the new
year continues to see new subscribers
added to the list, although 1920 is but
two days old This is the most en-
couraging sign that the management
Of any newspaper can be given. A
growth that has been steady and
which has been est,h shed without

the most healthy growth ,nat news

growth of The Patriot.
that local advertisers recognize the
value Of The Patriot as medium of
ruoiieity is evidenced by the fact that
The Patriot has carried more columns
OF local store news tnan any medium

With the present addel equipment
and with continued support The Pa

mined to surpass all previous efforts
