AVALANCHE HAS BREAK
DOWN
The linotype machine broke
down yesterday just as we had
about finished the front page.
We did not even gat to cor-
rect the mistakes in proof. The
second and third pages had to
be set up by hand. Repairs
have been ordered by wire and
we hope to be able to get out
a more presentable paper next
week.
“Spot Cash*’ is our slogan so
please have the “Long Green”
ready when you buy from us.
