Anniversary Greetings.
The Detroit Times tenth annivers
ary IL being celebrated most impress
sivcly In Chicago, also, this week.
On October 3rd. ten years after
this newspaper brought the one-cen'
rate to Detroit, the Tribune, Record
Herald and Inter Ocean OF the second
American city, came down to the low
est coin Of the realm. Last week the
Evening Post, Chicago's paper OF
quality In the evening field, reduced
its price to ono cent. Boston feH In
/ TO line some time ago, which means
the era of onecent newspapers IN
both morning and evening fields pref
~ generally throughout the entire
east and middle west.
Since its advent In Chicago, several
years ago, w. R Hearst's Examiner
had had the one-cent morning feld
to itself. The Times enjoyed this
distinction for nine months--from the
date Of its FIRST appearance, Oct. l,
1900, to July 1, 1901-when the News
and Journal cut their price in two.
Later the Free Press and Tribune
made q similar saving to their sub
scribers, but the FREQ Press returned
to tho two-cent rate when the
Tribune was merged with the News,
practically removing competition from
the morning field
II was a token of public recogni-
ton and gratitude for the service
rendered by The Times In introduce
ing the lowest price here. that the
older newspapers by their combined
onslaught were not able to kill on
or even to retard It's growth. The
pioneer one-cent newspaper circula-
ton figures for 1910 appear In detail
In another column Of this anniversary
number.

who saluted the newborn In the
