Thank You! Contestants for the many diligent hours
tion campaign you have just completed for The Mount Joy
Bulletin.
Thank You Contestants for the many diligent hours
you devoted to putting over this campaign. Without you it
could not have succeeded
Thank Yon! Subscribers, old friends and new friends.
You had a vital role in this contest the biggest effort of
its kind ever undertaken by The Bulletin.
Results of the contest lived up to our brightest expecta-
tions. With some 800 new names on our circulation list we
feel that we have the “go ahead” signal in our plans for
developing the finest newspaper of which we are capable.
We realize that the changes we have in mind cannot
be made overnight. But as the weeks roll by it is our de-
sire to create for our readers a newspaper jam-packed with
read=r interest, a newspaper of which they will be in-
creasingly proud.
To you subscribers we turn again and ask your help.
The Bulletin in reality is your newspaper. Your assistance
in filling its columns with news, pictures, bits of humor
will have much to do with the kind of product that we
are able to publish.
The Bulletin staff is more than ever anxious to serve
the community.
Thanks’ Royce and Era Crow, Contestants and Sub-
seribers for a successful campaign!
