NEWSPAPER PACE
IN STERLING FAST
Bankruptcy of One Publisher Made DC
casion for Relating a Bit of
History.

The following tragic story of the
strenuous career of daily newspapers
in one Illinois city reveals the side OF
the game that is not often put before
the public too clearly and fully. 1t is
from the Sterling Gazette and is oc.
casiOned by bankruptcy of the propri
etor of the contemporary, the Sterling
Standard:
The bankruptcy proceedings in the
case of Thomas Diller. for dozen
years publisher of the Sterling Stand
ard, and for the past year owner of
more than a majority of stock in the
Sterling Standard Printing company,
caused person who claims to be post
ed to remark that the inside history
of the newspaper business in Sterling
and vicinity during the past quarter
century, if it could be accurately told
would reveal some startling diSclos-
ures.
This person claims for a small town,
Sterling has been the scene of some of
the most strenuous newspaper expert
ences, financially and otherwise, in his
tory. Twenty-Five years ago, he says,
d SuCCcSSlui
residing north of Sterling was induced
by a relative by marriage from the
south to buy the Sterling Gazette. the
lure being the hope of large profits
and political career. Neither the
farmer uncle nor the southern nephew
had ever had much if any practical
experience with the business end of
a newspaper and printing office, but
they soon got plenty They always
ran a good paper and turned out an
enormous amount of job printing and
book binding work and at times had as
high as so employees on their payroll.
They did a larger job business than
ever has been done in Sterling by one
plant before or since. With all this
big business they did not get rich and
at the end of five or six years found
themselves in debt thirty to thirty
five thousand dollars They operated
as a stock company and sold their
