THE OMAHA GUIDE SHOULD BE
IN TEN THOUSAND HOMES

The Omaha Guide which has al
ways been devoted to the welfare Of
the Middle West in genral and Om-
aha in particular, should be in at
least ten thousand homes and be
read by $4,000 persons instead of
the 10000 who read it now.
1t is not a perfect paper, but you
can help to make it better than it
is, that it may the better serve the
City of Omaah, the State Of Nebr.
aska and the Middle West, and the
NATION.
To be sure, the Guide has made
mistakes, as all agencies run by hu.
man being must, but on the whole
it seeks to build rather than des.
troy. If it must criticize this cause
or that, it does so for the common
good, hoping always that right shall
triumph yer wrong.
