Although the Advertiser is a
l.out to celebrate its H>0th birth
day. it is not too old to change!
We have been going along,
week after week, having to leave
out good live, interesting new*
item*., or carrying current news
, ver to the following week. be
. ause there was simply not room
for them. There usually in too
much new for an eight-page pn
per, but not quite enough to add
additional page*. o we are
. aught in a swing, ho to speak!
This week we are increasing
the page size of the Advertiser
front '5 columns to 7 column*—
in case you hapjjened to wonder
why the paper looked a little dif
ferent! This change is Riving
us une additional column to each
page, 8 additional columns in the
average paper so we will not In-
it crowded for space in the fu
ture, and will be able to get all
<>f the news in each week, with-
out carrying it over to the next
week, or leaving it out all to-
■ gether.
The additional space will be of
i benefit to the advertiser*, too,
becauae we will be able to give
8 them better position#.
