In TD Pictures
ALL THE WORLD loves a baby and the folks at The
Tmes-Democrat are no exception, as we begin a new
feature for your baby's birthday, effective immediately.
We will publish the picture of all babies, either on or
near their birthdays, provided of course, that you furnish
baby's picture for us.
THE PICTURE should preferably be black and white
but color can be used. We will publish the babies pictures
throughout our paper, but the pictures must be of babies
from within our circulation area
What is a baby? We think any child who is a pre
schooler will fit our rules, or let us say any child under six-
years of age. We love babies, so bring those cute lil' ole
pictures to us, for the whole world to love baby too
