Jasper County Democrat, Volume 5, Number 24, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 September 1902 — A HANDSOME COMPLIMENT. [ARTICLE]

A HANDSOME COMPLIMENT.

The Inland Printer, the leading printer’s journal of the world as well as the most artistic and beautiful work of the printer’s art published, conducts departments where newspapers and job printing is criticised, copies of papers or sample*- of work being sent in with a request that the short-comings be pointed out. Having noticed many of the more pretentious papers of the larger cities mentioned in this department, a couple of copies of The Democrat were sent in for criticism a few months ago. The September issue of the Inland Printer has this to say of our publication, which, coming as it does from the highest authority in the civilized world, we trust we will not be considered egotistical for reproducing: Jasper County Democrat, Rensselaer, Indiana. —There is much in the Democrat to commend; ads. are neatly displayed, it is nicely printed, and all details of the make-up are carefully looked after. The arrangement of the news in the issue June 14 is the best, with headed articles on the first page and the short locals on the fifth. When the latter are run on the first page a neat doublecolumn head would improve the appearance of the department. “Jasper County Gleanings; with a generous supply of crisp news items from ten towns, is a valuable feature.
