AN EIdHT-rAdE EAT1LER.


Preparations FOR a Permanent Enlarge
! riasnt OF this Paper:
| Last September it became apparent to us
that a seven column issue of the SUNDAY
TATrLER no longer filed the wants Of the
circle of readers who had come to us, and
we made an enlargement that, by the adj
| dition of column to each page and the
| frightening of each column, added nine
| columns to the reading surface of the pa
! per. Since that time we have introduced
new features that have more than filed the
| space the enlargement gave us, and to-day
| again we find the paper inadequate, in
size, to the requirements of the hour. The
| growing popularity of the paper has been
shown by the extent to which our local
| tradesmen have sought or columns to
communicate with the community of buy
ers and these have taken from the read
ers much of the space that should be de-
voted To them. For many weeks it has
/ been impossible for US to make room on
! the third page for the story that had there
| tosore graced it and we have had, stand
ing occur galieys for three months, sew
eraI columns Of interesting reading mat
| ter for which we have not besn able to find
space. We feel that We hav6 thus deprived
the readers of spaces in the paper that
they had a right to expect to find filed
with interesting reading and for the last
two weeks we have been preparing to make
amends by preparing to make an enlarge
ment of the paper. The SUNDAY TATTLER
is to be made an EIGHT PAGE PAPER. The
page will not be so wide as now, but the
pap will be twice the size of the TATTLER
of last July and August On each page
will h. srko
ter. We shall run on one of
Sunday morning, and illustrated local
special atter-t the history, next Sunday
morning, for instance, of the yacht clubs
in the county, and description and pic
ture of the projected building Of the Jersey
City Athletic Club. the progressive socisl
organization in South Bergen, that bids fair
to outshine the Palmas. Another page
will be devoted to an illustrated article on
some general topic. If they come to us
early enough in the week, we shall decorate
another inside page with the "Rsndom
Jottings" that have become a marked f-a-
ture of interest in the paper. We shall
give up considerable space to the social
matters Of the town-hy intelligent atten-
ton to which we have already become
recognized as the society paper of the city
and to the presentation of the latest State
political topics. TIE outside pages will be
devoted to the presentation of the latest
general news transmitted to us up to 2
Sunday morning by the Associated Press,
and OF the latest local news brought to us
from all parts of the county by a nosing
and industrious and intelligent staff of item
hunters. Everybody knows that ever since
the SUNDAY TATTLER started it has been the
best local paper in the State. The added
room will enable us to make it the best
local paper that it is possible to make.
Our new press will enable us to strike off
an edition of 10000 in two hours, 30 that
we can take news till o'clock Sunday
morning, go to press at $3.50, and be in time
for all the news dealers. We have no
doubt that the improvement we propose
will increase our present circulation of 600
to the 10000 figure, We think we have
everything in shape SO that the enlargement
may be made next Sunday morning, and
unless we suffer mishap this is the last
four-page paper the SUNDAY TATrLER will
issue. The issue of May 80 will doubtless
be the first of permanent series of eight
page issues.
