fying to me. ias well as many of my friends and associates to note the growth .of our local paper, Much of this I believe can be [attributed to the fair and independent policy of the paper politically. It is iny belief that with continued advancement as already Indicated, the Journal will become a definite factor for the promotion of

our commounity, l ' ** politically, ecojno-Koss W. Osborn micailly and socially, which will benefit us all.

The paper is an example of the progress and forward movement that is underway in Syracuse. Many people to whom I have shown The Journal express surprise that such a- metropolitan paper is printed in a town of 1200 people. In fact, some people express the opinion that the is printed elsewhere and circulated herb. It has been difficult to convince thefn that The Journal is not only edited but printed in Syracuse. “I wish to commend .the editor and publishers upon their progress and growth and wish The Journal every success."

••• » Syracuse Journal has definitely moved forward to a position of leadership in our community. In a* few months, the paper

has developed into a publication second to none in the state. Every department is well organized and there is news of interest for every reader. I have always believed that a community can best be judged by the kind of newspaper it supports, and that much of the growth and development of any community depends upon its “ed-

itorial leadership”. M . With the example Matt Katler so definitely established by our community publication, I believe this community, is on the threshold of a new era of prosperity. I wish to congratulate the Journal its publishers and editor for their effort, and wish success.

THE SYRACUSE JOURNAL

ECENTLY, I have noticed many clever changes in the Journal. I have read the f paper for ,a number of years, and I believe

Here are found mmerous items of ; ocal interest and other fashions ot .merest to women, I ;uch as fashions,

movies, society, and the home. Mre ’ 801 M,ller As The Journal improves I believe the community will broaden and grow, because what we read does much to influence the things we do.
