Mr. Eau'in: r: Are you going to
have a public sale? If so we'll
show you soniel interesting faots
if you wiiiltt- call at ousr office. Do
not bp misled with the notion
that tine advertisement of your'
sail..1 im one paper will do you as!
much; good as another. The cir-1
cui! a ti on of tltel Journal is such !
that your adi in this paper will]
ba seion by people who nn all like-
kill 00 d will mot see the bills you
tack up. This means more peo-;
ole at your sale-—and that means!
bett er pries and more money to j
yo-u. Merely a very simple bus-
:.nrss proposition, you sue., We
are prepared to "sight you" in j
reijard to ouir circulation, of i
course.
j The changes in the newspaper
1 situation im Geary in the past 18
j months have bitini so gradual that
I not e/eryotne knows just what
the clwyni^es indiaate. We have
no fault to fjnid hoiwever, either
as regards the changes or the in-
dications.
*****
It is seldom indeed that the
editor of a country newspaper
has cause to complain on the
score of subscribe is wanting to
pay too often, but we had to de-
cline a dollar from J. W. Botts
on this score laat weok. Howev-
er we dom't want this to dster
any otne else frcmi calling at the
Journal office on the same er-
rand. It was only that Mr. Botts
w&* paid fair enough in advance.
