Times Now Has A “New Look” Today The Transylvania Times takes on a “new look.” The change has been made gradually and perhaps you will have to look twice to immediately notice ‘any difference, but there is a difference, you can be sure. Last Thursday your issue of The Times contained seven columns to the page. Now count l^ie columns in this issue. One has been added, giving us a total of eight. The columns have been made Pusier to read. That is a fact as proven by the experts in many fields — in printing, in educa tion, and by eye specialists. Most metropolitan newspapers contain eight columns, some nine. Although we do not claim to be metropolitan in any way, we feel that what is good for the ease of reading in the big cities must of necessity be provided our readers. Many hours of planning and study went into this decision. It was found that the public reac tion to the narrow columns was most gratifying in all cities where it had been adopted. The facts obtained in thej survey convinced the staff of The Times that the readers Would be given the very best, and this was the answer. During the past few months *pre have been gradual changes ade in The Times all in ac cordance with the trend of mod ern publishing, and ease of reading for a growing number of subscribers. The extra column adopted this week will, in the terms of a newspaper man, give the paper a better “make-up” or appear ance as to placement of both reading matter and pictures on the page. Last fall a new “headline dress” was adopted, giving more white space and greater reading ease. This was accomplished through the purchase of a new Ludlow. This modern type-making ma chine enables the personnel of The Times plant to produce the yper more rapidly and to give Me readers and advertisers a more interesting newspaper. Although this machine occu pies but a few square feet of floor space, the Ludlow operator can produce in a remarkably short time almost any kind and size of display type in solid lines ready to be used. The Times is printing more newspapers than ever before. The list of readers is steadily growing. We are not content to stand still, but believe that progress is achieved by constantly im proving, and that is the program •—Tarn to Page Fanr BEAUTIFUL CAMP TRAN SYLVANIA, above, will be the scene of the 15th annual Bre vard Music festival, which will open on Sunday.
