and Former Mayor:
The accomplishment Of a cir
culation Of more than 100000 net
paid in six months by HEARST >
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 In At
lanta are assets OF wonderful po-
teutiaity for Atlanta and TINS
section Of the South. Their hirih
and growth among us come al
a time when the publicity ana
advertising they are capable OF
giving IL most needed and can do
most good in our section.
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 Geurgia's cotton

proximately 5000. 000, OOO-if equal

II 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
~
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-
ion new spapers. where the con-
Vcntion 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 viii put At
lanta in the forefront OF Ameri-
can convention cities. Those are
some of the reasons ! am glad 70
see the Hearst newspapers in At
ianta 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 remarkable growth.
don't know much about
newspaper circulation, but |
know that circulation OF more
than 100000 net paid OF THE
SUNDAY AMERICAN within six
months after its birth is an i'm
portant accomplishment. II is
well worthy 10 Atlanta and this
section to maintain such a large
newspaper. Maintaining the larg-
est circulated new paper in the
South Atlanta strengthens It's I'll
tie as the Dixie's Gate City.
OSCAR ELSAS, President Fulton b
and Cotton Mill:
The attaining OF a net paid cir
culatiun Of 100 600 by THE SUN
DAY AMERICAN is a remarka BILE
achievement. 1t is illustrative Of
Atlanta and Just what Atlantaus
want. ! think Mr. Hearst and his
staff have displayed sagaCity in
the establishment Of the paper l
don't know OF any metropolitan
paper that excels II. IL, in fact,
there is any that comes up TO it.
II is q splendid newspaper. I like
TO read it, and the reading Of il
IS sufficient explanation Of why it
has broken the records in cirCula-
tion of Sunday newspapers
have noted its growth with inter
est and wish for The Hearst =
Sunday American the greatest
success.

Der Of Commerce:

lremoly delighted to know that
