in aurora to see stouirville win out in that series our merchant is stirring up big interest with weekend sales so keep your eye on the advs again this week the editors mail midland feb 9 1943 dear editor one of the first items i noticed in the last weeks issue was a reference to the second paper published in stouffvilie some 50 years ago strange as it may seem i had intended mentioning that paper wondered how many of your present day readers could remember it it was a very good paper but the publishers made the mistake of thinking stouftville could support two papers the same mistake the farmer made when he had two windmills erected on his back flats he soon found out he had to take one down there wasnt wind enough to run them both your tribune advs do get results where you least expect let me explain a midland farmer was say ing he was in the market to buy a couple of good holsteins but did not know where to get them i said perhaps 1 can help so i handed him the sales register of the tri bune he found what he wanted and the day of that sale the midland farmer and his truck went down in pickering that night he was back home with two of the best animals he could purchase and well pleased with his trip yes the j tribune advs do get results may prosperity be with you throughout the present year i ralph brown
