Los Angeles herald., 1905-09-05

Public opinion determines the success
or failure Of newspaper making. It is
the criterion, honest in its declaration
of approval, truthful in its expression
of ill-will. Even q single issue becomes
a partial failure If 1t does not receive
appreciation at the hands of the reading
public.
These are the principles upon which
every successful publisher stands.
When The Herald's 100000 population
edition. was distributed broadcast
throughout the entire southwest Sunday
morning the verdict Of it's success or
failure was left to jury composed of
Herald readers.
They have reported favorably and
their verdict carries with 1t unstinted
praise. Angelenos have characterized
its 100 pages as giving in truthful detail
the conditions existing at the present
time in the southland, the past achieve
ments of the Angel City and its ambi-
tions for the future.
Order Extra Copies
Hundreds Of persons added force to
their opinion yesterday by ordering
extra copies to be sent to friends in
the north and east, and the great piles
Of the issue printed for such an emer-
gency have melted away like a snow
storm in the warm valleys of the Sierra
Madres.
Advertisers have expressed them
selves as more than satisfied with the
way in which, through its columns.
they were enabled to reach the public
ear.
Expressions of praise are many and
varied, coming from merchants, pro-
fessional men, railroad officials, NUM-
cipal officers and men identified with
the commercial organizations which
stand for the upbuilding of Los An
geles.
