Dear Sir
| enclose check for a
year from ter-morrer." Do you
know Brother, there is not an
other expenditure of mine, in the
whole category, that gives me
more solid satisfaction than this.
Both you and your paper are a
credit to the community. If the
community knows when it is for
tunate, (and | believe it does) it
will support your publication
even better in the future, than in
the past. You have shown us
your capabilities and your dispo-
sition, this past year. They look
good to me and | want you to
know it.
This is no fulsome praise on my
part. | am too old a bird to at.
tempt to jolly the editor. I am
looking at this matter as a plain
business proposition and l wish
to say to the good people of Va
shon- Maury-when you have in
duced as valuable a citizen as
our editor to settle "in our
midst" put in his good money
and talent and build up here, a
business of as much value to the
community as our News-Record,
appreciate it. Let everybody sub
scribe and advertise to the limit
of his or her ability. When you
help to support as good a local
paper as we have on Vashon-
Maury, you are putting dollars
right into your own pocket. You
are helping to make our island a
better abiding place.
This is my preachment. Think
it over. Ii it looks good to you,
act upon ii.
Respectfully yours-H. A. S.
