To Our Readers
I
We feel impressed in justice to ourselves to present some
matters pertaining to the Advertiser since the change in man-
age men I
Many of our readers are acquainted with the conditions un
der which we are publishing the paper, but a large percent of
our subscribers are not conversant with the matter.
In the first place, we are printing two more pages at home
than heretofore, and are composing all of it at our office, omit
ting the use of patent plate matter as was formerly the cus-
tom.
In doing this, we are placed in an awkward position on ac-
count of shortage of material, tins will explain to you why it oc
curs quiti often of our using small letters in place of capitals
and black face type appearing iu the paper along with lighter
type.
We hive a complete equipment ordered, and wV?n reced-
ed we hope to publish a paper th it will be m ire presentable,
and when the new equipment is installed, the entire paper will
be published at our ofttce. we will then be able to care for ad
of the news and to avoid having to omit news items.
We take this opportunity to thank our many county cor-
respondents, also our friends in Bastrop, who are showing
such interest in the paper, such cooperation as is beini: shown
cannot but result in making of the Advertiser a first class pa-
per.
It may be many weeks before we receive our new equip-
ment, in the meantime, we ask your patience and to overlook
any apparent carelessness.
We are always looking forward to the letters from our
county correspondent and for local and personal items please
phone 214.
To our patrons in Advertisements, we would appreciate
your having them at our office as early as possible, we cannot
accept adds after Tuesday 6 p. m- Locals and personals will
be received up to noon Wednesdays.
