The Democrat last year printed 90 per cent of the sale bills for all the public sales in Jasper county. Why was this? Because we get up the best bill of any print shop in Northwestern Indiana and give a free notice of the sale (in full) in The Democrat, the most widely read paper in the county, and the notice in the paper goes right into the homes of the farmers and does more good than the bills themselves. This year we are again prepared to handle this class of work in an even more complete and satisfactory manner than last, having added to our supply of stock cuts and display type, besides having greatly increased the circulation of The Democrat in all parts of Jasper county. If you are going to have a sale it is to your financial interest to have The Democrat print the bills therefor. Orders by mail will receive special attention.
