Nebraska During 1909.
During the week of December

State Journal will accept § 3 from
mail subscribers for the whole
year of 1909. without Sunday , or
$ -1 with Sunday. The regular
price is1 and § 5. This cut-price
is good only during Bargain \Veek
and all you have to do is to mail
your remittance to the State
Journal , Lincoln , Nebr. , and the
paper will be mailed to your ad
dress commencing Jan. 1 , 1909.
and continue until Jan. 1 , 1910 ,
when it will be stopped unless you
pay for it another year. All sub
scriptions are payable in advance ,
consequently no unpaid bills , and
this saving together with cutting
out solicitors' salaries , hotel bills
and railroad expenses make it pos
sible to give you this cut-price.
The Journal is the paper you will
want to read during the legisla
ture because it is right here in
Lincoln and with its great corps
of trained newspaper men will be
able to give you the most thorough
and reliable legislative news. Its
uncontrolled by party bosses or
selfish ambition to hold or get a
job for its proprietor. It's not
afraid to print all the news all the
time about all things. It's a clean
home paper , no liquor or unclean
medical ads appear in its cojumns.
Its business is profitable enough
to give its owners legitimate re
turns without making alliances
with any interests opposed to the
public welfare. Every public
matter is treated impartially , un
selfishly and entirely from the
standpoint of the people's interest.
One year's reading will convince
you that the State Journal is truly |
Nebraska's greatest newspaper.
Remember , this special rate is
only made during this one week
of Dec. 21 to 28 to got new sub
scribers and regular price of $4
and § 5 will be charged thereafter.
Why not test The Journal this one
year and see if its publishers are
really conducting their newspaper
upon such hiah standaul.
