Your Home Town Paper.

When people want to interest
distant friends in their home
town they send away copies Of
the local newspaper. When any
one wants to know what kind of
a place n distant town is he
sends for a copy of the local
newspaper. When the mcrch-
ants are full Of courage and adj
vcrtise freely an impression is
created among the many people
outside the town who see the pa
per that this is an exceedingly
bright and widc-awake business
town. IL, at times, the merch-
ants let up little on their nd
vcrtising the town does no, look
so good to outsiders. Your pa
per, then, is the representative
the spokcsmNn-for your com
nunity. As your paper APP
pears to those outside your i'm
mediate locality, 50 must your
town appear TO them. Editorials
and items of news all have their
place, hut the stranger to your
town will closely follow the add
vertisements carried in your pa
per, for by this means he judges
the character ami extent of the
business of the community
