Nine.
For some reason or other, there
are not in Chicago the special inter-
ests or the individuals who want
newspaper power as is the case in
New York. There the morning and
evening Sun is kept up by financial
interests as a weapon to strike back
at those who harass them.
'The Press is maintained by Frank
Munsey. He has a string of maya
zines, several trust companies and a
chain Of 70 grocery stores. He finds
a newspaper in New York useful to
his business. He doesn't make any
money out of it. But indirectly it
does pay him.
"The New York Tribune is a play
thing for the son of Whitelaw Reid. o.
The Reid family is worth about thirty
or forty millions and can easily stand
the deficit each year.
'In Chicago no special interests or
enthusiastic individuals who like the
power that goes with ownership of
an established newspaper have come

@NINE STATE. STREET STORES MAKE OR BREAK
CHICAGO DAILY NEWSPAPERS"
A veteran Chicago publisher who
doesn't want his name used said to a
Day Book reporter:

The nine State street stores con-
troll. the newspaper situation in Chi
cago. They make or break a paper.
1T is their withholding of adVer-
Using that is responsible for the pres
ent financial troubles Of the Record
Herald and mter-Ocean. The situa7
ton is a logical development follow
ing the purposes of business.
$50 far as the State street stores
are concerned, I don't believe they
have ever organized and discriminat-
ed against any daily newspaper.
They are doing the same thing in
Chicago which is done by department
stores in other cities. They are cen
tering their appropriations on one
morning paper and one afternoon
paper. In this city that morning
paper is the Tribune and the after
noon paper is the News. Either of
these papers would be killed if the
State street stores should take out all
their advertising for a number of
years.
"The Tribune, for instance, has a
mass or advertising outside OF de-
partment stores. But the Big Nine
contributes only about Is per, cent of
the TTibUne's total of advertising.
Yet this 25 per cent is the backbone
Of the TTibUne's income.
THE little fellows want their ads
in alongside the big fellows. The big
department store ads are surrounded
by the ads of little fellows. And the
little. fellows specify that this shall
be done. Sometimes they are will
ing even to pay extra for such space.
So the newspaper that doesn't carry
the ads of the Big Nine has a hard
time getting the little fellows.
Foreign advertisers ask how you
stand with your home folks. They
say: We advertise with the news
papers that stands strongest at
hOme.' This condition throws still
