Mott McHenry when he came into the
Office last Thursday afternoon. Mott
now lives just outside the corporate lin.

the incest little plats of ground, mod.

the Review Office and caused to be in.

Mott McHenry, Route 1. 8-tf
The above classified ad cost Mott just
IL cents for one issue, but he said to
ret 1t run until he ordered it out Thurs.
day afternoon he came rushing into the
office and threw down the 13 cents and
said, Take my ad out for sold every
SOW before dinner time today, and the
+ Review was the cause" The Review
went to the post Office at 5 o'clock
wednesday afternoon, and none of the
papers left the post office to the sub
scribers that evening. They went out
over the routes and the city carrier sys-
tenn on Thursday morning, and for
quick, silent craftsmanship, we claim the
paper has demonstrated its ability as a
publicity newspaper.
