AMERICAN

FRIEND

WAS ISSUED TODAY First Issue Printed in Richmond Under Supervision of the Board.

HAS SIXTEEN PAGES

Co-operation of Every Friend Is Requested by Editor Nicholson.

The first Issue of the new "American Friend" published under the supervision of the Friends' Publication board in this city, was issued today. The paper is to be published weekly. The paper enters its field under conditions that give great promise. It contains sixteen pages. The publication board stands unitedly for an aggressive, constructive policy, clearly and strongly evangelistic. As a servant of the entire body of Friends in America, tnls publication will discourage and avoid controversy, and seek to promote unity, energy and direction of purpose. The expressions of good will and offers of assistance that are reaching the board are most encouraging and greatly appreciated. Afore than 5,000 copies of the paper were issued today. Temporary quarters have been established in the Second National bank building. The permanent quarters have not been selected as yet though it is expected that such rooms wHl be acquired where cooperation between the editor, S. Edgar Nicholson, and other officers of the Friends' church can be more easily attained. Editor's Statement.

ft is universally known, perhaps that j

after full consideration, the recent Friends Five Years Meeting in session at fndlanapolis decided to authorize the publication of a weekly periodical,

and ultimately other literature, by a beard of publication This board, after I proper organization and incorporation j under the title of "Friends Publication I Board" has acquired the property, sub- j

scription list and good will of the American Friend, previously published at Philadelphia by the "American Friend Publishing Company," and this issue becomes Volume T, Number 1, new series, under the new management. The action of the old Company, which went out of existence with- the publication of last week's issue, in turning over the paper with all assets without cost to the church, was most magnanimous, and will be deeply appreciated by all our membership. . The new management, after the fullest consideration, has decided to retain the old name of the paper. It expresses exactly an appropriate title, characteristic of our continent wide activities and responsibilities, and for TiEelsake of the effect upon the old subscribers, was deemed most fitting. The form of the paper likewise has Jeen retained, partly for the sake of

uniformity in binding, and partly from inability as yet to determine upon any other form as being preferable for a permanent series. The direct management of the periodical will fall upon the edntor and manager, who is directly responsible to the publication board, which in turn is responsible to the Five Years Meeting which created it. That the management cannot hope to succeed is self-evident, unless it can have the sympathetic co-operation and support of practically the entire membership. The paper should find its way into every Friend's home in America. It is the feeling of the editor that in a denominational periodical, within proper bounds, limited only by the evident purpose to build up the church and advance the interests of the Kingdom, the columns of the paper should be open to all members who have a conviction upon live questions of concern to the church, and who have an intelligent opinion to express concerning it. This quite naturally can not mean the liberty of unrestrained expression, which would only provoke controversy and schism. We are of the opinion that contributors can better afford for the sake of effectiveness in their own utterances and even more for the sake of the church as a whole, to err if necessary upon the side of conservatism in expression and tone, that to invite prolonged arguments upon nnn-essentials or upon matters which involve mere differences in terminology, by giving rein to extreme pronouncements.

The idea of bringing impeachment proceedings was first suggested at a meeting preceding the parade. The

No! because ft is an Honored costume, but because we are sincere in our appreciation, we want to take this opportunity to thank you for the part you have played in our business prosperity during the year now ending. Nineteen-twelve has been a prosperous and satisfactory year with us and one of the most satisfactory features of the year's business has been the uniformly satisfactory relations that have existed between us in the generous disposition you have shown when any slight error has occurred, without which co-operation we could not have accomplished what we have. May we continue our present pleasant relations through the coming year and at its close find ourselves materially benefited, is our sincere wish. Very cordially,

With this issue closes the most prosperous year of the 12 years of the Hoosier's existence and with "the birth' of 1913 brings new prosperity and good feeling, that this is going to be another year of good and prosperous times. As in the past, the Hoosier has made preparations to offer our many friends and the buying public many advantages not in common with other stores. Our store is a department store. We sell everything for cash. We save on both ends the buying and selling. You know a business has a personality just as a man has; you like some stores, and dislike others, just as you do men. The men you like best are those who best respond to your needs; your "best friend" is the one who gives you most of himself, in the true sense. The one from whom you "get most." Now we don't expect every man to "like" us; any more than you expect everybody to like you. We're "not perfect, nor infallible. But we do try to give as much as we can; we give values for the money that we feel are unusual; we give quality in merchandise that we think is the best possible quality; we give storeservice that we try to make as perfect as we can. But we mean to sum it all up in this we intend to give ourselves our knowledge of values, of styles, of qualities, our buying power to you and in your interest. We are making many friends.
