The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1873-04-14

Independent press press that shall endeavor
each day to lay the history OF the world so far as
practicable, before its readers, no matter what
that history may be; to give each day the reflex OF
public opinion, mindful that the image is reflected
as received and be not distorted to suit whims or
feelings. 1t rightly argues that the growing cities
OF the West have Just the wants that New York has,
and that 1t remains only for tie people to identity
themselves with the newspapers, to become
newspaper reading people, to make similar jour-
mails every city and have the current Of busi-
ness stimulated to the energy and activity that 10
seen in New York.
From the Hamilton (Ohio) Telegraph, April 10]
The NEW YORK HERALD last Sunday issued quin-
tuple sheet-that is, paper Of twenty pages, each
page the size OF that on which the Telegraph Is
printed. The paper contained 100 solid columns, OF
which seventy eight were devoted to advertise
ments and forty-two to news and editorial One
column OF the HERALD will make four ordinary
octave pages The HERALD OF last Sunday then, II
arranged In book form, would make an octave of
$50 pages. All OF the work necessary to the pro-
duction OF this mammoth sheet-the copy, compost
ton, sterotyplng and printing OF 100000 papers was
performed within twentyfour hours, and the aggre-
CATION of news from every quarter OF the world
cost the reader of the Sunday HERALD but five
cents. For enterprise like this there is no prece-
dent in the history OF journalism.
From the Pottsvllle pa Miners Journal, April
ILL.,
It's hardly safe for a newspaper man to praise
the enterprise and energy OF the NEW YORK HERALD
publisher. But week ago we made reference
to the fact OF its having been issued in quadruple
form. and was forced to put on this monstrous
garb in order to accommodate the large number Of
advertisements offered it. No sooner printed Than
ito al rt,ofp
prise compelled Its striking out on a quintuple
(twenty-page) folio, which 1t did recent occa-
sion. There are lew more tuples left, Mr.. HERALD,
and we say, Go 1t Tor a sextuple next time.
From the Mount Holly IN. J.) Herald, April 1871
For the past two three years the NEW YORK
HERALD has been in the habit each day OF issuing
supplements OF four or eight pages to its regular
editions In order to accommodate its extensive
and growing advertising patronage, and the thing
had become so monotonous that We were hardly
surprised to meet our namesake on sunday last in
the dlstended form OF quadrupe sheet, with sup
plement. In all twenty pages, making the largest
daily newspaper ever published. Nearly twelve
pages were taken up with advertisements, num-
bering three thousand separate announce
ments, the receipts for which must have amounted
to small fortune. This is an old story, but this
incident seemed to demand notice at our hands.
From the Springfield tOhio) Republican, April 81
The NEW YORK HERALD OF Sunday, April 9, had
twenty large pages, all OF which sold for the usual
price, Ave cents. IL had seventy-fOur columns Of
advertisements and fifty columns OF reading mat
ter 1t is the largest daily newspaper ever pub
lished in America, and its income from one days
advertising was never equalled by that OF any one
issue OF public journal ever published on this
planet.
