Weekly Newspaper?
/
In the first place a we.ekly newspaper is a public
servant, reporting the news and views of its commun-
, *
ity so that people may live together in harmony and
govern fhemselves intelligently :in a free democracy.
<!»
A weekly newspaper, secondly, is a community mar
ket place. Through its advertisements buyers and sel
lers meet quickly and economically.
A weekly newspaper, also, through its counsel given \
publicly on its editorial page and privately in the
editor's office, attempts to support and strengthen
every influence for good. -

Fourthly, and by no means the least, it is. a manu
facturing industry and a retail business. Not only does
it produce the leading local news and advertising med
ium but it sells that newspaper at retail by mail order
through stores, and by door to door salesmen. On top
of this it serves the printing needs of local businesses
an$l individuals at prices competitive with the big city
printing plants, .

It is a many-sided enterprise and weekly newspaper
people have to be equally many-sided. But on every
side they try to serve you and your community first.
