Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1883-04-29

"What are the causes Of the extraOrdl-
nary growth and progress Of
THE WHEELING REGIsTER?" When
we consider what THE REGISTER has
accomplished in the teeth of the hardest
competition, and the strongest preju-
dice any newspaper has ever known,
Il Q inquiry is perfectly patural one,
and merits an answer. The policy of The
ROOSTER has been, not to antagonize
or aim to secure the business Of any
Otle journal, but to
Push 60 the Front
with business created by ITSELF
In this The REGISTER has achieved
success which has never been equal
led in Virginia journalism. The growth
ola newspaper, like that Of an oak
tree, Is slow, but it is as sure and
permanent If properly managed. By
hard work and judicious and enterpris-
ing management, THE REGISTER has
gradually distaneed all attempted rivals,
until this year, 1888, it is
Firss In Gross Receipts and Net Profits
among the newspapers ofthe two Viz
ginias or Ohio outside of Cleveland aud
Cincinnati.
Thus THE REGISTER has demonstrate
ed its capacity to secure the head OF
business whose tail it ornamented only
few years ago. The great circulation
of THE REGISTER has been secured be-
cause it makes paper for the people,
ana one which interests all classes.
It not only Covers the world
on every class of news from every sec
ton by its Associated Press Organiza-
ton, and an army of special correspon-
dents, but it presents many matters OF
interest to families, especially to the
ladies and children, in addition to the
simple details of events. THE REGISTER
makes speciality of labor news and all
matters affecting the interests of the
working man, among which class 1t
has an enormous circulation. It's con-
stantly improving in the character and
quality Of its contents to increase the
interest and enjoyment of the reader.
No business Can stand StIII.
Every paper and every railroad,
every store, all enterprises, must either
gain or lose. More especially in these
days Of competition. when ideas are
born every second, and the man who
thinks he is safe to-day finds rival
knocking his heels cut from under him
before the shades of night have fallen.
Approaching this fact, THE REGISTER
has aimed to secure substantial growth
every week and month and year. In
this il has succeeded beyond its most
sanguine hopes.
Four thousand Subscribers Added I'm
Eight Weeks.
AS sample of the result Of WELL
directed efforts, we may say that dur
ing the last eight 'rcCks we have added
four thousand subscribers to THE Sun
DAY REGISTER alone, and the ratio of
gain Is increasing every week instead
of diminishing. We are adding new
facilities to meet the demands OF our re-
markable progress, and shall spare no
expense that time and experience shall
demonstrate is necessary to maintain
the claim that THE SUNDAY REGISTER
il one of the best Sunday newspapers
in the United States.
what wheeling Advertisers Want to
secure
is CIRCULATION, CUSTOMERS and PROF
IFS. Some Of them want to reach the
solid men of Wheeling particularly, but
the great majority of advertisers want
to reach the FAMILIES. THE REGIS
TER, daily and Sunday, reaches all
classes, but particularly the family
circle, where advertisements are read,
wants discussed and purchases de-
cided upon.
The Great Growth
of the advertising patronage of The
REGISTER has been the natural result OF
increase of circulation. Oar advertising
is 25 per cent. greater this year than
it was in 1852, and the ratio is still in-
creasing.
