Without this confi dence from local firms, there could be no local newspaper here to represent this area and act as a local voice for Morrow County. By advertising consistently in this paper our businesses not only stim ulate trade for themselves but greatly help to promote a free press at home and work with the paper in helping build a better community. Some busi nesses never miss a week with their advertising. This paper can be no larger nor better than its revenue makes it pos sible to be. Thus, when a subscriber reads the Gazette-Times he may well remember the advertisers who make it possible. Bulk of the revenue comes from advertising. We thank our subscribers who have also given such fine support through the years and whose continued interest inspires us to attempt to do a better job. There could be no paper without these devoted readers. We say sincerely on this occasion that anyone who wishes to contrib ute towards a better Gazette-Times should trade regularly with local mer chants and tell them, "I Saw it in The Gazette-Times."
