Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-04-30

From Printers Ink

A newSdealer was asked by rep- resentative of Printers Ink what pa pers sold the largest number of copies in Waterbury and answered, without hesitation, the New York Journal. Confining his answer to the city alone, he said the Democrat. This appears to be the general opin- ion.
 Continuing his investigation this Printers Ink representative says he found a clothing dealer who said his best returns came from the Demo- crat; shoe dealer who patronizes the three papers, but ranks the Dem- ocrat first; a policeman and a post man who said the Democrat was the leading paper. The total of the rep- lresentative's gathered opinions shows the three daily papers close together, but with the Democrat leading in the matter of conformity to local politics and popularity.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-04-30
Same Qld Story.

The Democrat brings results to the advertisers. and this is fully proved daily. Read what advertisers say.
 A short time ago a man came hur- riedly into the Democrat office and requested that rent ad which ap. peared for the first time the evening before be taken out. "The place is rented and We. want to stop the crowd of people from calling on us." he said. "Be sure and take it out. Don't let it appear again." It Is the same story with other advertisers. Recently a man who had lost some. thing put his head inside the door. A broad smile covered his counfe. nance. "That little ad did the busi. ness. gentlemen. and your paper is all night. and from this incident and others that have come to my notice, I am convinced that the Democrat is read by almost every person in Wa tcrbury."
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-04-30
Attorney Cassidy Pleased

"That's n great paper of yours, said Attorney Cassidy to-day.
 "Why do you think sO?"
 "Well, I had an experience last evening that cOnvinces me that ev. erybody reads the Democrat. l put q little For Rent 'ad' in the Demo- crat and to see the people crOwding in here on me one would think something was up." "Here" meant Mir Cassidy's office. 'sI had no idea I would have so many people call to see me about it. did think that in the course of few days half a dozen perhaps would call, but there was quite an avalanche of them. I have put For Rent ads in many papers from time to time, but the number of answers to the one put in the Democrat the evening of the same day it was published surprised me. You must have quite a number of readers"
