Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-10-08
ROBERT r. MADDOX, Vice Pres''
cent American National Bank
and Former Mayor:

The accomplishment Of a cir
cuation Of more than 100000 net
paid In six months by II EARST'S
SUNDAY AMERICAN is remark
able. These figures. together
with the statement OF THE
GFORGIAN'S circulation, are
proof of the progressive policies
of those papers.
The Hearst newspapers in At
lanta are assets Of wonderful po-
tentiality for Atlanta and this
section of the South. Their birth
and growth among us come at
a time when the publicity and
advertising they are capable of
giving is most needed and can DO
most good in our section.
l am firmly convinced that we
are on the eve OF the greatest
commercial and Industrial era we
have ever known. When we think
OF the fact that Georgia's cotton
crop this year will be worth APP
proXimately 5000, 900. 000-if equal
ly distributed, $50 each for every
man, woman and child, white ana
black. in the State-we get some
idea Of the prosperity that is APP
proacning. The biggest corn crop
we have ever raised means that
more of this money Will stay IN
the State.
Il is a time to let the world
know what "a good section this is
to live and do business in. At
lanta as the metropolis of the
section will ride to prosperity on
the crest of the wave.
What the Hearst newspapers
can do for the section has been
illustrated. Their increasing cir
culation is evidence of the rich
ness of the field and gives them
power for greater good. The
whole Hearst chain of newspa-
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-
vention of the American Bank
ers Association is being held this
week, are in a position to give
especial aid to the movement to
have Atlanta selected as the next
meeting place, and II seems as
sured that we will get the 1914
convention.
The Shrine meeting and the
bankers convention will put At
lanta In the forefront of Ameri-
can convention cities. Those are
some Of the reasons l am glad to
see the Hearst newspapers in At
lanta succeeding.
JOHN D. LITTLE, Lawyer:
The growth of the Hearst
newspapers in Atlanta Is another
proof of the wonderful opportuni-
ties in our section of the country
when the right sort of effort Is
made The Hearst newspapers
always are very interesting out
side of the purely news features.
am not surprised that they have
had a remarkable growth.
l don't know much about
newspaper circulation, but !
know that a circulation of more
than 100000 net paid of THE
SUNDAY AMERICAN within six
months after its birth is an i'm
portaut accomplishment. 1t is
well worthy to Atlanta and this
section to maintain such a large
newspaper. Maintaining the larg-
est circulated newspaper in the
South Atlanta strengthens its IT,
tie as the Dixie's Gate City.
OSCAR ELSAS, President Fulton 81
and Cotton Mill:
The attaining of a net paid cir
culation Of 10000 by THE SUN
DAY AMERICAN is a remarkab BILE
achievement 1t is illustrative Of
Atlanta and just what Atlantans
want. ! think Mr.. Hearst and his
STAFF have displayed sagacity in
the establishment of the paper.
don't know Of any metropolitan
paper that excels il, II, in fact,
there is any that comes up to It.
1t is a splendid newspaper. ! Ike
10 read II. and the reading OF il
is sufficient explanation OF why it
has broken the records in CirCula-
ton of Sunday newsp papers.
have noted its growth with inter
est and wish for The Hearst's
Sunday American the greatest
success.
MOORE, President Chan
Der Of Commerce:
A circulation of 100, 600 net paid
for THE SUNDAY AMERICAN
is easily understood. l am ex-
tremely delighted to know that
The sunday American has passed
n this mark. Ii is truly Allan
tanaesque-a live, snappy paper.
