That means that during the year some 39,000 more folks read ‘The Star every night than did the year previous. : Now, this increased appeal to the public that resulted in such a widespread demand did not happen of itself; The Star didn’t hire anybody to peruse its columns; maps and dishes and trips to Alaska were not included in its subscription offers ; The Star sold a newspaper every night in the week, and more folks took it, because they waned it, not because they desired a set of dishes or a new clock, Very well, why was it? The Star believes that there is only one answer, that there fs only one reason why it has grown as no other local paper has, that there is only one reason why any paper should grow, ‘AND THAT IS BECAUSE IT HAS A SQUARE DEAL FOR EVERY MAN IN TOWN EVERY NIGHT, AND TELLS THE TRUTH, NO MATTER WHO MAY RE ae Star knows, as does every business man in the city, that the commercial conditiont during the past year have not been such that great trade expansion was the result of the average concern, The Star knows that. the percentage of its for’ the last twelve months would be considered good a “boom” year, and that for 1911 this growth is unusual enough rove that some big reason made folks generally prefer The Bar as their regular evening companion. — The old newspaper policy was to get the business by squeezing the advertisers for all the trade would bear, keeping said advertisers content by letting them dictate editorial and news policies, and hitting her up in the campaign times so that an yincidental jack pots might be properly distributed where they would do the most good.
