The Daily Times will shortly begin publishing, free of charge, classified directory of the business houses advertising in the Daily Times. The progress i've merchant and the one who patronizes his home newspa- per, which reflects the enter prise of the towns merchants and professional men, will thus receive the benefit of this ex- tra service. It will prove of value not only locally but in all the adjoining camps, showing the patrons in the different lines of business that the mer- chants think enough of their trade to solocit it through the only public medium, the press. As the Times also circulates in the states it will be an index of our most enterprising business house.
 As we recently stated, edi- torially, there are number of advertisers in Cordova who are not showing the proper spirit in contributing their part towards the support of the Daily Times, which is endeavoring ia every way to inform the public of the resources of the country and thus aid in the upbuilding of the community. In order to carry on this work and publish one of the largest and best newspapers in the territory it is absolutely es- sential to have the cooperation and financial support of every business man in the town. This paper employs large number of people and has big pay roll, making it one of the sub- stantial institutions of the town. AS such, and for the manifold benefits to be derived from the publicity it gives Cordova, it is certainly entitled to the adver- Using patronage of every busi- neS man here. They are all going to be given an opportun- ity to get in on the ground floor and help boost to make Cordova a larger, better and buster community. This can best be done by placing an ad- vestisement in the Daily Times and also securing a place in the classified directory.
