In fact, any feature, cut or design that can be done in any of the large centers can now be done in our office by the simple process of t‘aking a paper matrix out of the postoflice instead of a box of lead out of the freight office. Special features, which in the past have been impractical for us tp use because of the cost, will now appear in each issue the sam® as in papers of the larger centers. This will be of especial benefit to local advertisers, as heretofore all illustrations had to reach us as plates—now we can offer for their use a Sales Service in matrix form or they can furnish ws matrices and we can make metal plates for| printing. 7 We want to make this paper the best paper in this com- munity and we will spare neither time nor expense to increase| its serviceability to our subscribers.
