JSION
We Guarantee
That tlif 11)11 New Year issue of the Mcdfonl Mail Tribune will be the finest
issue of a newspaper ever printed in southern Oregon.
It will surpass all previous efforts both iu illustrations and material.
The year has been a prosperous one for the grower. Photographs of
orchard and farm are accompanied by the yields and returns to the produc
ers, with signatures attached.
The Pacific highway, (Jold Hill cement plant and other developments of
the year arc given in detail iu the profusely pictured story of tho year.
The 10M New Year's issue, 10,000 strong, has the punch, will deliver tho
goods, and deserves the hearty support of the community. Jt will be tho
best advertisement of the valley ever put forth not excepting the Medford
pamphlet.
The object of its issuance is to help put the Rogue River valley on the
map for the world's fair tourist of 1015 but while the paper is willing to
await future development of the valley for its profit, it should not be penal
ized by being made to bear the entire cost of the enterprise.
"We ask the hearty co-operation of the community and the 1D14 Xew
Year issue will be worthy of it. This co-operation has been refused by some
of those most vitally interested the railroads, for instance, thereby empha
sizing the fact that Medford s growth is dependent entirely upon Medford's
efforts and this is a Medford enterprise.
Kvery merchant, manufacturer and artisan should have at least his card
in the 19M New Year's number, not only to co-operate in its issue, but to
help convince the world of the enterprise of Medford's citizens.
To this end, we ask co-operation.
