ery 10 being celebrated most impress
oively In Chicago, also, this week
On October 3rd. ten years after
this newspaper brought the one-cent
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 one cent. Boston fell In
| to line some time ago. which means
| the era of one-cent newspapers In
both morning and evening fields pref
| ty generally throughout the entire
| east and middle west.
Since it's advent In Chicago, several
years ago, w. r. Hearst's Examiner
had had the one-cent morning heid
to itself. The Times enjoyed this
distinction for nine months--from the
date of its hrst appearance, Oct. l..
1900, to July i, 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 Free Press returned
10 the 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 introduc-
Ing the lowest price here. that the
older newspapers by their combined
onslaught were not able to kill of
or even to retard its growth. The
pioneer one-cent newspaper eircula-
ton figures for 1910 appear in detail
In another column of this anniversary
number.
Among the many newspaper friends
who saluted the newborn in the
pages OF the first number, ten years
ago, were John Talman, then man.
aging editor Of the st. Paul Pioneer
Press. and John T. Winship, publish
or OF the Saginaw News. Mr. Tai
man. now newspaper librarian of the
Minnesota Historical Society, has
