We urge Moline business men to advertise in our columns as the paper gains wide circulation. Merchants can sell a large pile of goods for a dollar and should judge local demand. The paper seeks to remedy the practice of traveling to trade and offers a strong medium seen in city and county areas.
The paper asks readers to bring in interesting local facts and news from the area and nearby cities. It invites on‑the‑street tips and favors readers with fresh country news, offering printing services at R. H. Moore in the Metropolitan Block.
The July 31 issue commemorates the Dispatch entering its twenty sixth year as Moline’s oldest daily newspaper.
