and Former Mayor:
The acCompli Shmcnt of cir
rulation Of more than 100000 net
paid in six months by HEARST'S
SUNDAY AMERICAN is remark
able. These figures together
with the statement OF THE
GEORGIAN'S circulation. are
proof of the progressive policies
of those papers.
The Hearst newspapers i'm At
lanta are assets of wonderful po-
teutiarity for Atlanta and this
section of the South Their birth
and growth among us come AT
a time when the publicity ana
advertising they are capable OF
giving Is most needed and can do
most good in our section.

are on the eve of the greatest
commercial ana industrial era We
have ever known When we think
of the fact that Georgia's cotton

II is a time TO let the world
know what a good section this is

What the Hearst newspapers
can do for the section has been
illustrated Their increasing cir
culation i- evidence Of the rich
ness OF the field and gives them
power for greater good. The
whole Hearst chain of uewspa-
pers aided materially the fight for
the Imperial Council of the Mys-
tic Shrine. All Of them are
boosting Atlanta for the next
convention Of the American
Bankers Association. His Bos-
ton newspapers. where the con-
ventun OF the American Bank
ers Association is being held this
week. are in a position TO give
especial aid TO the movement to
nave Atlanta selected as the next
meeting place. and il seems as
suUc6 that We viii get the 1914

can convention cities. Those are
some OF the reasons ! am glad to
see the Hearst newspapers in At
