Suppose The Post
Ceased Publication
JUST suppose this community were left without a local news-
paper er 1 What would become of its local pride ? Brussels
would just be a name on a railway time -table or a postoffice
guide. Men and women might die, or marry, or go away, or suffer
accidents, or entertain friends, and you would hear about it all only
through gossip. Farm sales and other announcements of interest to
this particular part of the wide, wide world would have no 'publicity.
Our local merchants would have no cheap and quick way of telling
you what they provide for you. Our churches and schools and other
institutions would have no medium of news or appeal. And this
whole community would slip back and be the sport of joke -smiths,

Would city papers take the place of The Post ?
•
You know they would not. •
THE point of it all is ; We have raised the price of THE POST to
$ 1.50 a year. Now if you]"kick" and drop your subscription,
you say, in effect, "This community doesn't need a local week-
ly. If I can do without THE POST, all others can.
o
We do not believe Torsos moment that the good people of Brussels
and neighborhood mean to "kick" or drop their' subscription to THE
POST. 1'Ve expect all our enbsaribere to recognize the new conditions
of living and publishing that have made the old dollar rate impos-
sible to continue, But we went to let you see that your weekly
newspaper at the higher rate of 8 cents a week—the price of a post•
age stamp—still costs an insignificant sutra when you reckon up the
service your weekly newspaper renders you and this whole coulnml-
ity.
Ilia
Be Loyal to and Proud of the h Community you Live In.
Keep it on the Ma ■
