EARLY ISSUE FOR
PAPER NEXT WEEK

In order to give the patrons of the
Democrat the best service possible
next week paper will be issued one
day earlier-Friday. The advertise
ers will have the opportunity of get
ting their Christmas displays before
the public prior to the great shopping
day-Saturday, and, it is believed
this will give their "ads" a greater
pull.
This will also give the Democrats
force little breathing spell to pre-
pare for the Christmas holidays, af-
ter the strenuous preseason drive;
and, it is thought the early issue will
be of general advantage.
This can be done, however, only
with the cooperation of the Demo-
Gratis friends, by their either bring
ing in their ad changes early in the
week, or by allowing this weeks copy
to remain untouched for the next
weeks issue.
They are earnestly solicited to keep
in mind the printing end of their holi-
day campaign, and add their efforts
to this office in making all advertise
ments do the work for which they
were intended.
