And newspapers report it —in full. They also report on who's getting married, local sports, the price of a pot roast, and more. In your community this is news. And newspapers print the news, with strong emphasis on local news. Local newspapers deliver, where other news sources leave off, People believe strongly in newspapers for several reasons: newspaper reading is a habit with most people; it's part of the habitual routine of daily life; and people regard their newspaper as a friend they can't do without. Over eight out of ten adults read a newspaper every day. For that reason no other news medium can match local newspapers for speedy, thorough saturation of your town. For all the news about your community, read your local newspaper. Newspapers deliver the local story. attost.iikao 1177 FACE LIFT FOR ETHYL BUILDING, — Ramada Con6truttiOn ore by Donato.
