the publisher says: “Our business
has steadily increased until at pres,
ent we aie employing th^oe r.en,
have a weekly expense to not less
than $85.00.” Shades of the past.
Present day publishers would be
tickled pink if they could have one
man and get along with an ex
pense of not to exceed $50 weekly.
Rut these are not the horse and
buggy days.—Ed.

heavier.
