The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1880-02-19
The Evening Press.

There are many reasons why an after
noon newspaper should be more widely
circulated and read in the city of it's
publication than morning Journal 1t
takes up the thread of the news where
it is lefc by the morning press, and with
the exception of burglaries, murders
and occasional depredations on clothes
lines, the bulk of the worlds transac-
tions take place between six o'clock in
the morning and four in the afternoon.
The fluctuations in stocks and markets
generally are all recorded in the evening
paper, and it is therefore absolutely in
dispensable to the business man.
The evening paper reaches the street
and the home after the labors of the
day. Unlike the morning journal, it is
not glanced over and thrown aside.
The morning paper is essentially a break
fast table affair. The man of the world
grasps it in his hurry between late ris-
ing and his coffee, and hastily attempts
to swallow its contents. He has no time
for details. AS soon as he has gulped
down the headlines and his coffee he is
off to business, and the paper commands
his active attention no further during
the day. With the household it is the
same thing. The duties of the day are
memorable, and the morning journal is
put aside after cursory reading for the
broom and the busting pan. Later in
the day it is ueed for wrapping purposes,
and so passes away like the ephemeral
thing that it is.
The evening journals come with slip
pers and ease The pater familias reads
it thoroughly while seeking surcease
from care in front of the cheerful home
fire. After tea it is perused by mother
and daughters, and even by the chill
dren. Its cheerful pages--we are speak
ing now of the Post-Dispatch-flled
with entertaining miscellany, local news,
gossip and light editorials, are especially
conducive to good digestion and repose.
1t is the universal testimony that no
paper is more thoroughly read by its pa
irons in ST. Louis than the Post-Dis
patch. In the long evenings which in
tervene between business and bed time,
the advertisements have charm which
they have in no other paper. They are
read, and read intelligently. They i'm
press the reader and result in good to
the advertiser.
All over the country the afternoon
press is gaining in influence AMI power
Some of the most prosperous journals in
the country are published in the after
noon. The New York Post and Mail,
the Troy Times, the Chicago News, the
Washington Star, the Cincinnati Times,
and the Philadelphia Bulletin are all
money making, prosperous newspapers,
daily extending their business and cir
culation. In the matter of foreign
news the afternoon press has an i'm
mense advantage over its morning con-
temporaries. A difference of seven
hours between st. Lous and the princi
pal capitals of Europe enables the Post
Dspath to print tue complete record of
the day Oh that side of the world in its
first edition. 1t enjoys the advantage
of an hour also in the matter CT New
York and Washington news The
most important happenings in Congress
