Mrs. Davis Speaks
The Voice is synonomous to
goodwill in the superlative—and
the sublimity of its publication is
highly commendable.
I think by all means it should
be in every home in the city of
Lincoln. Every man, woman and
child should read it. More power
to the editors and best wishes for
continued success.
