Editorial comment:

We support Adair County Printing + Graphics Arts + Advertising Industry

We encourage local businesses to politely ask where advertising is produced when they are solicited to spend money on projects endorsed by any local tax supported organization.

It is also good to know what kind of payment the tax supported organization or institution (and, specifically the Executive Director of the Columbia-Adair County Chamber of Commerce and/or the Mayor of the City of Columbia, both of whom think, from time to time, it is their place to broker advertising sales; this is one of the few areas of strong disagreement CM has with them) is receiving in return for the endorsement arrangements. Just ask. Then weigh for yourself whether this is in your own best interest and the interest of fellow tax-paying and/or dues paying Adair County businesses.

Supporting Adair County Printing + Graphics Arts + Advertising Industry keeps money in Adair County, keeps good paying jobs here at home.

Whether it is a map, a billboard, a newspaper, t-shirt, calendar, a book, screen printed banner, yard sign, poster, or slick four color brochure, it is available from an Adair County business, an Adair County employer.

If you think it will help fellow Adair Countians, make tax supported institutions and organization aware that you want them to support Adair County businesses first. Or, at least to stay neutral.

A message from
ColumbiaMagazine.com
Proud supporter of the dynamic Adair County graphics arts industry

Miniature Schnauzer is missing from Greenhills home

ANIMALS

To whom It May Concern:

This morning on June 27, 2008, around 5:00am we let Dylan, our Miniature Schnauzer outside and he did not return. We live in Green Hills Subdivision off Hwy 206. He is salt/pepper in color and he has a collar on with a tag with his name and home address and phone number. He is very loved and missed greatly.

If anyone has any information, please call 270) 384-1437 or (270) 634-4403 any time. We will come and pick him as soon as possible because You see, he is a inside pet, and he does not know how to survive outside in the weather and he can only eat his special food. Please call if you know his wherabouts. Thank You.
