I TENTH ANNIVERSARY | DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT | ESTABLISHED JANUARY 12,1903. | r’t‘ u't ,s, j Time flies and the tomorrows soon become the yesterdays. The past decade has slipped by almost before we were aware of it. These ten years have marked many progressive movements in Adss dams County and the pages of the Daily Democrat have been filled with the stories of each days gg work. It has been a work of pleasure, notwithstanding the fact that it has been a busy, bustling fight fig tin which at times looked impossible tt « OUR HISTORY The Democrat is one of the old institutions of this locality. Its “daddy” the Decatur Eagle was g| gg established Februrary 13, 1857. Prior to that time a paper had occasionally been published in this gg gg place, but the Eagle was the first to live. Some twenty years later its name was changed to the Decatur Democrat and for twenty-five years it furnished once a week the new of the county. Then came the rural routes and a demand for a daily paper. The Daily Democrat started January 12, 1903, and gg for several years bumped along over a road as rough as the old Piqua pike. Believing in the future gg and urged often and sincerely by our friends on the rural routes, in the small towns and in Decatur, '*} we kept at it, until we succeeded, and we now boast a daily circulation of nearly 3,(MM), which means gg •“j that the paper is read by from 12,(MM) to 15,000 people. We are proud of our work and intend to gg celebrate that success by making an effort to make the month of January the greatest in our history gg gg in the way of renewed subscriptions. gg | The Daily Democrat is a fixed part of this community. Each day it carries to your door the latest local news of interest recording the happenings from the court house, the births and the deaths, the accidentsand surprises, the things about those you know and love best, your neighbors and your friends. H We hope to improve it as the months and years go by and we want your continued support. || /X SOUVENIR KNIFE | It is to show you we appreciate your patronage that we have this year decided to give a little gg souvenir. Under a special contract we have arranged with the Canton Cutlery Co. of Canton, Ohio, for the manufacture of a large number of handsome little pocket knives, one we hope will prove convenient and the quality of which is guaranteed. The knife retails at 51.30 has on one side the picture of the battle ship “INDIANA" a fitting souvinir for any Hoosier to carry, and on the other the inscriptw ion, “Tenth Anniversary Daily Democrat, Decatur, Indiana.” Remember we do not offer this as an inducement, but as a souvenir of our good will towards you who we realize have aided us in making the Democrat a substantial institution. 155 151 THE OFFER nd We therefore have decided that to everyone who pays their subscription to the Daily Democrat DURING THE MONTH OK JANUARY, covering a period to January Ist. 1914 or longer, we will give one of these souvenir knives. Si gg To show you that we are fair in this we also wish to state that any person who during the past month has paid his sub- u<| u‘‘ scription covering that period or who will extend his paper to the date mentioned, January Ist. 1914 we will also pre- gg {gj svnt you with one of the gifts. Come in and see us. We will be glad to explain any part of the offer, which however contains no “ifs” or “ands” We want you to be one of the family and we want to treat you right. Thats all. Remember this "Anniversary Celebration" continues one month only, from January Ist. until February Ist. It will & be impossible to secure one of these knives after that time, — I THE DEMOCRAT CO.
