Following are expressions of
opinion Of some well-known men
On the marvellous growth of THE
SUNDAY AMERICAN - over
100000 net paid circulation in SIX

sunday AMERICAN appeared
On April 6, 1913. To establish
} Sunday newspaper with this
circulation in six months is a re-

ASA GAMBLER, Capitalist, Banker
Manufacturer, Real Estate
Owner;
am Glad that THE SUNDAY
AMERICAN and THE GEOR-
GIAN are here to have a part in
the glorious future of Atlanta and
the South and to assist in the
upbuilding of this section of the
country. 1t is indisputable that
they are in a peculiarly favorable
position to make known to the
world the advantages and the re-
sources of Atlanta and the South.
It is lust as certain that they al
ready have accomplished a great
deal along this line.
THE SUNDAY AMERICAN
and THE GEORGIAN, together
with the other newspapers owned
by Mr. Hearst, have done much TO
bring Atlanta to the attention OF
the rest Of the country to an eX-
tent that would not have been
possible before this time. am
confident they will continue their
commendable work.
The wonderful progress and
growth Of THE SUNDAY AMER
ICAN and THE GEORGIAN are
good for the South. Although 1t
was patent that these newspapers
had met with instant favor, 1t was
a surprise to me to learn that the
net paid circulation of THE
SUNDAY AMERICAN now ex-
ceeds 100000 copies. l hope the
Prosperity may continue.
JOEL HURT, Capitalist, Real Estate
Owner:
am personally gratified by the
report that HEARST'S SUNDAY
AMERICAN published in Atlanta
has passed the 100000 net paid
mark. This growth has been
nothing short of marvellous. That
newspaper six months old
should attain circulation of
mat Magnitude surely is an elo-
4uent tribute to the enterprise
and ability of its founder.
The Hearst newspapers in At
lanta have been active and push
ing They have a great field in
Atlanta and the South: I believe
mat they are here with the de-
sFmlned purpose Of doing good
'or this section Of the country.
The South is moving forward
III all lines more rapidly and more
certainly than ever before. At
'ahta Is in the center of this
movement. 1t lies in the power
