and print on this page, news item* and bids of personal mention and gos¬ sip about your in»litutions, your fire department, your schools, your churches, your fraternal societies and the conimunity Jife of the residents. We have dedicated this page to the citizens and merchant of Kooseveit; it is you I'J) and yours alone and we. of The Nassau F'ost, pledge our efforts to make It most interesting.
Each and every one who reads these items is invited and solicited to send In facts either in writing or over the lelephone; facts relative to your en¬ tertainments to be held, the meetings of your societies and civic organiza¬ tions, the bits of gossip about your friends and those that you entertain, in short, everything which may be of Interest to you or your friends. We shall take the liberty of calling you on the telephone or stopping at your liome to ask you about events and haiipenings that may have come lo your attention.
There are printed on this page the aJvertlsements of the majority of your merchants. They have a firm belief in the stability of Roosevelt citizens and in the rapid growth which the village has and is enjoying. They believe In advertising because It calls your attention and other people's at¬ lenlion to Rofjsevelt, We dare say there are very few articles desirable and necessary for the home which cannot be purchased in Roosevelt,
.Many other mediums have tried as be.-il lliey could lo beconie eslabllshed in Roosevell und to aid the merchants in their work, but the village was hardly large enougli to support a newsiiaper. At the reiiuest of many of them made for the last several months, we have set apart an entire page for the village and having en¬ larged tlie paper, we can furni«h two or three pa.ges, if necessary. And it is exceedingly advantageous that these Roosevell pages can be iirinted in a newspaper that Is the oflicial paper of your nearest neighboring village, as well as heing the official paper of the county, having a large circulation in and outside of llie immediate sphere,
,And we want to say just one thing more and frankly it is this—patron¬ ize your local merchants, and the men responsible for the business life of the conimunity, the men who work night and day to supply your needs and fo st imulale the growth of Roose¬ vell, Uel behind lliem, make it a pari of your nature to trade at home; jl' tliey haven't got what you want give them a chance to supply it; make it Itoosevelt, first and always,
Kvery advertisement in this iss«ie lias a message for you.
