distributor: "I like it—it certainly
improves the paper The Reporter-
News is certainly keeping up with
the times—I've been a reader for
twelve years, and I can say that
the paper is better in many ways
now.’’
1. M OVERSHINER, corpor-
ation judge: "That new head type
—fine It s something new and dif-
ferent; makes the Reporter-News
look like a regular metropolitan
daily Some people reading a paper
are just like a man when his wife
gets a new dress—they have to
learn to appreciate it. Me—I like
a new dress right From the start.”
W. 8. DANIELS, pioneer resident
and Reporter-News reader for 50
years: That new types all right
—it gives more room for more
news on page one, and the more
of that the better In the wind
there is not so much trouble turn-
ing the pages-- the best of the
news on the first and last pages
Incidentally, I like this idea of
leaving the papers own ads off
page one—they just take up space
where there could be news.
J. W. McGEE. real estate: -It's
easier to read, good to look at. In
the more tha 30 years I've been
reading the paper, it's the best
improvement yet
EARL HUGHES city tax asses-
sor-collector: "The Reporter- News
looks like an uptown paper now
with its new treads I like the
change."
JAS M MILLER tax assistant
"I ean t do anything but compli-

pert I thought I had a big city
paper alien I picked up the dress-
ed-up Reporter- News. Its plainer
easier to read Even the persons
who object to a change should be
more than pleased when they get
used to it."

■ This new streamlined type looks
good—its most readable and it
does away with many of the ab-

। C. L. JOHNSON cafe proprietor
; lay. that new head type is pretty
nice looking isr. t if It’s always
a good idea to change to some-
thing new every now and then

line heads are an improvement, ' •
JAMES v WALDROP police
night sergeant - "The new type ts
a little odd when ope first looks at
it. but wel soon get used to it

EDDIE COCKERELL secretary
Retail Merchants association—"I'm
not so sure I like the new heads as
well as the others, but one thing I
can say for them, they are easier

created a lot of comment and at-

of fundamental nature, made in
newspaper headlines in many years.
I think the new heads are swell.
