Christmas Edition
of the Daily Tidings will be issued Saturday, December 3.
It will contain between thirty and forty pages, and carry a
cover printed in three colors.
It will be the largest Christmas edition ever printed in
Ashland, both in point of number of pages, circulation and
general appearance. It will be well printed and will be dis­
tributed over the entire county.
We hope to have one or' two sections featuring the
Winter Fair, and will devote much of the space to boosting
that enterprise.
