The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1905-10-13
TO NEWSBOYS.

Until further notice the State Journal
viii make the price Of one cent per copy
for any and all issues, week days and
Sundays. to all newsboys.
This means that the paper viii be sold
to you on any evening including Satur--
day evening and on Sunday morning,
for cent a copy.
If some good business man, or other
responsible person, will guarantee the
payment of your bills we viii allow
you to pay for all papers ordered dur
ing the previous week on the following
Monday. Unless you are endorsed you
must pay for the papers when you re-
ceive them.
This proposition will give you
chance to secure new patrons and sub
scribers which the regular carriers are
neglecting.
The State Journal is now issuing a
twenty page issue for Sunday morning,
containing complete telegraph, state,
local and general news.
Our carriers never before had such
Ian opportunity to secure new sub
scribers. but only a few of the regular
number are even soliciting or making
any material effort to increase their
routes.
In fact. a number Of the carriers
have been advertising another seven
day paper.
We need all the increased business
we can get on account of the tremend-
Gus expense of the Sunday edition.
We now give the newsboys a chance
/ to secure new subscribers and new pat
rons, which the regular carriers are
neglecting to attend or serve.
we do not want them to interfere
! with subscribers who are now already
taking the paper from a regular carrier.
From all indications we are receiv-
| ing at this Office there are scores of
people scattered all over this city anx-
ious and willing to buy the State Jour
nal six days and Sunday for two cents
per copy, five cents for Sundays, or
ten cents for the seven issues delivered
wherever they may desire.
Great damage is accruing to the
State Journal and to the carriers of
the State Journal by reason of the
fact that other papers are using their
utmost efforts to secure subscribers
who otherwise might take the State
Journal if they were asked and shown
that this was the best paper in To-
peka. One State Journal carrier, who
is carrying under the State Journals
new plan, said today:
'The Capital people are working
hard in my territory
The time has passed when the State
Journal can sit idly by and lose any
opportunities.
AS an example of just what great
possibilities the carriers have, we prini
below verbatim a letter received from
Mr.. B. F. Pankey, president of the In
dependent Telephone company.
THE Independent Telephone Co.
Topeka, kan, Oct. L, 1905.
Topeka State Journal. Topeka, Kan.
Dear Sirs: You may have youl
carriers deliver another copy of the
Journal to our telephone office at No
Sig Kansas avenue We very much
appreciate the Journal and with the
Sunday issue being added, makes il
much more desirable.
''If your carrier on this route ha6
some business or life in him he could
perhaps get fifteen or twenty orders
from among our employees as we en-
ploy more than a hundred people ard
all of them are able to read. Yours
truly, 3. F. PANKEY,
President
This is only a sample case of what

tions of Topeka and the suburbs, par

tered all over the city.
Everybody and all departments
around the State Journal. save some
carriers. are working hard for new bust
ness and new subscribers The carriers
in the main, we regret to. say, are doing
little or nothing.
Now. newsboys, get to work and dc
what the carriers should do and i'm
prove your opportunities to make some
money.
