The Herald Co publisher A Marshall announces the Darlington Indiana weekly Friday edition as a booster club member paper. The issue notes the paper is entered at the Darlington post office as second class matter and priced at one dollar per year in advance.
The piece argues for local merchants to adopt a cash basis and aggressive publicity to compete with big city mail order houses. It notes that large firms succeed through advertising and low prices for spot cash, urging smaller shops to study and apply similar methods.
The Traveling Library Commission lists dozens of new book titles from Marjorie Daw to Jungle Book and The Lamplighter. An agent for a best laundry in the state advertises Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea claiming constipation relief and improved health at Corner Drug Store with no express charges.
