ROSEBURG NHvS-REW.W. ROSFftURC, OREGON. MON'D AY. DECEMBER 10, 1928.
THE LAST
PASSES
Not so long ago, the newspapers
made quite a feature of the retirement
of the last-known public Town Crier.
For years he had trod the streets of
Provincetown, Massachusetts, ringing
his bell and crying out the news and
what not.
In Colonial times and during the
early Jays of the' Republic the Town
Crier was a public institution. People
depended upon him for the latest news
as well as for information regarding
sales of goods by local merchants. But
the,newspaper and advertising made
his services unnecessary years and
3rears ago.
Today we turn to the newspapers
for our news and to the advertising
columns for news of merchandise as
naturally as we do to the sports page,
the home economics page, the finan
cial page or to any one of the special
ized features that make the modern
newspaper so indispensable to our
every-day life and advertising is as
indfspensable as the news, for adver
tising is news.
Advertising is the news of the mo
ment just as surely as the latest press
dispatch. It tells us what and when and
where to purchase to save money and
time and energy. It tov.che3 our daily
lives in a thousand ways it affects
the health of our children, the happi
ness of our families and our own well
being. Read the advertisements in the
daily papers. They are vitally im
portant to you and yours. They are
your loyal friends and advisers.
