The change, 28 outlined in our issue of October 21, eritatied a large amount of labor and considerable expence, but the wide- spread appreciation expressed by advertisers and readers hes more than offset those factors. Business men find thelr advertisements particularly those whigh come in mat form, fit more snugly into the page. The layouts appear as they were intended to appess... as a part of the page—ratier than as odd-sized material il-fitted into 100 lafge a space. Readers find the new column widths are the same size as thelr metropolitan deilies, and also find that there is actully over a column more of reading material on each page. Eight pages of the present Centre Lemoerat contain as much reading material as nine pages of the former style permitted Changes in the general makeup of the newspaper also have brought much favorable comment from readers. New features and new type styles dre subjects of their share of praise. Most of the mechanical difficulties encountered in making the change have been overcome, and the publishers feel that The Centre Democrat has made another step forward in giving Centre countisns a larger, newsier and more attractive Newspaper.
