VOLUME J I NUMBER 38

LAST ISSUE OF i LAKE SECTION OUT NEXT WEEK Next week will bring the close of the summer vacation periods at which time most of the Wawasee visitors will return to their permant homes. Although not all of the lake residents will leave at that time, most of them will and we feel that further publication of the lake section of the Journal would be useless. However, we shall continue to accept any lake news that may be’given to us and will carry it in the column* of our regular weekly edition. With the coming of the last issue of the four-page section, we wish to thank our readers and advertisers who have helped to make our paper interesting. We sincerely appreciate the cooperation that has been shown us by almost every resident of the lake. Next week we are publishing a special edition for our advertisers who feel that they would like in some manner to express their thanks and appreciation for your patronage and friendship during the past vacation months. The two inside pages will be devoted entirely to these expressions tn which the management of the Journal wholeheartedly joins with its advertisers. & Let us extend an invitation to you to come to Lake Wawasee next season. We, along with the business people of Lake Wawasee, assure you that we will, in every way possible, do our part toward making your next vacation even more pleasant than your last.
