THE STANDARD ..
CHRISTMAS NUMBER
•
For several years past it has
been the custom of many of the
leading city newspapers to issue
a Christmas number in connection
with their regular publication,
Christmas numbers are very
seldom issued in connection
with country newspapers. The
reason for this is on account of
the heavy expense involved in
producing a Christmas number.
This year THE STANDARD will
issue a Christmas number, It
will be a handsome book of 60
pages printed on heavy calendered
paper. Each page will be 111x10
inches in size and contain inter-
esting and specially prepared
reading matter and pretty and
entertaining illustrations.
The retail price of THE CHRIST.
MAR STANDARD will be 25 cents
per copy.
All subscribers who renew their
subscription to TIM STANDARD
for one year and pay in advance
will receive a copy of the Christ-
mas number free.
All subscribers in arrears who
pay up all arrears and one year
in advance will receive a copy of
the Christmas number free.
All new subscribers paying one
year in advance will receive a
copy of the Christmas number
f ree.
Tun CHRISTMAS STANDARD will
be on sale and ready for distri-
bution by December 15th. Se-
cure a copy and send it to your
absent friends,
Support the enterprise of your
local paper.
