Complaints have come to the Her
aid of subscribers receiving paper
with blank inside" There is so
much good reading in the Herald that
no one could blame a subscriber from
getting mad over receiving a blank
paper The fact is we are breaking i'll
a new man on our newspaper press.
He is getting along fine but occasion
ally picks two sheets for one and
somebody gets a blank paper. In case
this happens please let us know
promptly. The same request applies
to torn or in any manner illegible
papers. We spend a lot OF money
every year making the paper sparkle
in appearance and would really feel
bad if by accident you received a poor
ly printed paper and then said nothing
about it.
