Its venomous falsehoods of US person
ally and our circulation, the Hay Press
makes public these figures of the pa
pers printed last week. as shown by
our books:
Bona-f de mailing list. PAP
Cash sales at z. Q. news
stand Il
263
The above figures don't include ex
changes. giveaways or comebacks. The /
number Of paid up subscribers, or the /
reverse, don't concern the public, but
we say truthfully that we have only a
few dead beats now on the list and are
rapidly cleaning them out.
Now about the Weekly Sandbur cir |
culation. 1t claims over two hundred. |
II lies UNANIMOUSLY The Sandbur may
print that many papers, but they don't
circulate. certainly not in the sense of
being subscribed for or bought. We
doubt if il has one hundred genuine
subscribers, and most Of these are way
behind in their payments If it wasn't
that many of the Hay Press subscrib
ers also take the Sandbur to read what
its blatherskite editor says about us,
its list would be cut in two.
Press is several lengths ahead of the
Sandbur And when it comes to get
ting quick returns for advertisers the
Hay Press fades any paper in the
county Here are two recent instances:
Mrs Jay Unison advertising for
missing umbrella lately. 1t was re-
turned on the very day the Hay Press
was issued by the bartender of the
Gay Cabot saloon, where her husband
had left 1t.
Again Mrs. Sid Slowtrack advertis-
ed in the Hay Press for girl, and the
very same evening twin daughters ar
rived.
The Sandbur makes a great parade
over the Gordon press it has INSTALL
ed. on its sale and horse bills it
notes: Printed on our new Gordon
press"
With pardonable pride the Hay Press
makes public announcement that it has
ordered a gasoline engine to run its
presses, and will discard and turn out
to grass the faithful old mule it has
heretofore employed for power pur
poses. It's true that the Typographical
appearance of the Hay Press won't be
much improved by the substitution of
gasoline for mule power, but our tenn
per will be improved-vastly improved.
We won't have to keep in stock bot
tie of mule collie cure, nor axle grease
for the knuckle joints of the merry
go-round driving power.
