the MATTER the Tribune has decided
TO give its readers sixteen page
paper, at least from this time until
Jan. l, 1906. After that it will
run from eight to sixteen pages. ac-
cording to the demands of business
and important news matter.
For a long time it has been a
problem of just how TO take care Of
the increased demand on space in
this paper that would best give the
advertiser and reader what was
needed. The solution has come in
the sixteen page paper. which for
the first time is issued this week.
Week after week important and
interesting matter has been crowded
out for want of space, and often even
paid advertising has been left out in
order to give the readers that which
was due them. This will no longer
be necessary, and an effort will now
be made to cover the county more
thoroughly than ever before.
The country correspondence which
has suffered more or less on account
of the great amount of display adj
vertising, will be worked up to its
old standard when twenty to
twenty-five correspondence letters
were published each week.
The local field will be covered as
thoroughly as ever, and will be
augmented with feature stories of
interest and Importance to Greeley
and Weld county people.
The Tribune has also secured the
exclusive Weld county right to a
magazine feature that will prove OF
interest to the general reader
There will be four pages of this sec
tion, and it will contain articles and
illustrations by some of the best
writers and artists in the country.
The range of subjects will be as
large and varied as the tastes of the
readers. Short and continued
stories of fiction will be prominent
features, besides sketches on matters
of interest all over the world.
Besides this the American Press
Association service will be given
in abundance. a serial story, of
the kind that is popular for winter
reading will be added, and which
will be finished by the holidays.
Besides this some of the best miscel-
laneous reading furnished by that
association will be given.
When these features are added it
will be but modest boast to say
that the Tribune will be the best
county weekly in the state of Colo
RADIO. 1t has enjoyed that reputa-
tion for some time, and lest others
should crowd it for first place it Is
now enlarging. With this step
taken it will be years before any of
its rivals could reach it, and by that
time other features of still more i'm
portance will be secured.
With this latest move of eXpan-
sion on the part of the Tribune a
little retrospect in its history may
not be out of place.
the paper was a scant l, 100. Now
it Is considerably over double that
Four years ago it was one of the
most countryted of country news
papers, doing vegetable exchange
business on subscriptions and mer-
chandise exchange business on adver-
tising. Now it pays cash for every
thing and asks cash for its space
and subscription, placing the whole
matter upon business principles.
Four years ago it printed four
pages of home news, dished up in
country style. Today it has the
reputation of being nearer like city
paper than any other small town
paper in the state, and it always
prints eight pages of home news, and
sometimes more, while the entire
typographical appearance of the
paper has been changed for the bet
ter.
In the mechanical department
hardly piece OF machinery nor a
line of type that was there four
years ago can be found there today
Everything has been replaced by new
and up-to-date machinery and ma
terial. The result is that not a
printing plant in the state, outside
of two or three in Denver, one in
Colorado Springs and one in Pueblo
can turn out as neat job work or ad
vertislng as the Tribune printery-
as witness the work that can be
found In nearly every office in Gree
ley.
