This year the “Times” was the tenderer for a number of additional mail contracts, thereby bringing the total now bandied by ns up to SIXTEEN. To-day the “Times” is in the unique position of being able to deliver mail and the “Times” simultaneously over the fertile and prosperous area between Mangaweka and Poxton, Dannevirke, Pahiatua and Shannon.

They eat the same food, wear the same clothes, drive the same ears, and are well able to buy- Here is a field for investigation. Obviously those first on the job will have the advantage. The Manawatu Daily Times will deliver your message first to an attentive audience of good spenders. From a Subscriber’s Point of View The best cables come AFTER midnight. The “Times” is the only paper going to press late enough to catch the latest cables. Therefore it has LATER CABLES than any other morning paper circulating in this area. The most important news to you happens at your own door. The “Times” is the only morning paper which comprehensively and intelligently covers the news of the day in your own town and district. The “Times” is not a party megaphone. Its news, views and opinions concern the people’s welfare, not the jwlitician’s ambitions. It mirrors impartially, the political, commercial, inon/>inl and recreative activities of the cormnimitv
