j TENTH ANNIVERSARY 1 I DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT I | ESTABLISHED JANUARY 12,1903. 1 tJM ’ riri $ ' jgisisrffisaßgffinffln in ii gg i . i Time flies and the tomorrows soon become the yesterdays. The past decade has slipped by al- fl" most before we were aware of it. These ten years have marked many progressive movements in Addams County and the pages of the Daily Democrat have been filled with the stories of each days work. It has been a work of pleasure, notwithstanding the fact that it has been a busy, bustling fight & po which at times looked impossible I The Democrat is one of the old institutions of this locality. Its “daddy” the Decatur Eagle was ii ‘ established Februrary 13, 1857. Prior to that time a paper had occasionally been published in this fl 1 place, but the Eagle was the first to live. Some twenty years later its name was changed to the Dec- » = atur 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 fl I Jifl for several years bumped along over a road as rough as the old Piqua pike. Believing in the future fl : j flu and urged often and sincerely by our friends on the rural routes, in the small towns and in Decatur, flfl flfl we kept at it, until we succeeded, and we now boast a daily circulation of nearly 3,000, which means that the paper is read by from 12,000 to 15,000 people. We are proud of our work and intend to celebrate that success by making an effort to make the month of January the greatest in our history :a. in the way of renewed subscriptions. & t w yy 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 / flfl you know and love best, your neighbors and your friends. fl;; We hope to improve it as the months and years go by and we want your continued support. fl 12 (in ‘ A SOUVENIR KNIFE ■ OR It is to show you we apprejiate patronage that we have this year decided to give a little flfl flfl souvenir. Under a special contract we have arranged with the Canton Cutlety Co. of Canton, Ohio, for »« < ii; 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 $l3O has on one side the picture of flfl the battle ship “INDIANA” a fitting souvinir for any Hoosier to carry, and on the other the inscript- flfl I’?; 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 BL you who we realize have aided us in making the Democrat 2 substantial institution. ■I ■ Wt?- ran r«' ut> THE OFFER We therefore have decided that to everyone who pays their subscription to the Daily Democrat DURING THE flfl tai MONTH OF JANUARY, covering a period to January Ist. 1914 or longer, we will give one of these souvenir knives, flfl 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- fl-« {«: script ion covering that period or who will extend his paper to the date mentioned, January Ist. 1914 we will also pre- flfl fin (»• ’ <jfl sent you with one of the gilts. . Come in and see us. We will be glad to explain any part of the offer, which however contains no “ifs” or “ands" t«« We want you to be one of the family and we want to treat you rijht. Thats all. Remember this “Anniversary Celebration” continues one month only, from January Ist. until February Ist. It will flfl rttl J . . fill flfl be impossible to secure one of these knives after that time, lM> t»A t>t> (Ml X» . t«> X> [MI iX) (M> ■ / (Mi I TH E DEMOCRAT CO. | titl (H> - - ---- - -.r. .mmcn-r-—. -A —
