Campbell corresponded regularly with all the Colonial Governors of New England, keeping them posted on Boston news. So regular and voluminous was this correspondence that Campbells letters finally emerged in the form of a printed pamphlet called "The Boston News Letter." And this was the first regularly and continuously published newspaper in America, appearing weekly from the last week in April, 1704, to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The newspaper carried advertisements . . . from its very first issue I And this advertising, telling the reader where to obtain the goods that he sought for his home or his farm or his business, lifted the mere friendly chronicle of village affairs into the realm of a service to the community. The news-letters, plus advertising, became a helpful, informative, and educa tional institution. Today, as in 1704, and all the years between, the advertisements are your guide-posts to honest, dependable merchandise at a fair price. five-mile race yesterday In 10 minutes, 49 3-6 seconds. .
