Is The: Day Book Paying?-I have
the following letter from Daniel P.
Riordan, president of the Chicago
Civil Service League:
My Dear Mr.. Cochran AS a con-
slant reader OF. your Day Book since
its first inception into the field and a
firm believer in the precepts Stated
therein, am DESTROYS of. asking of
you a little information to decide a
controversy which came up the other
day, and if not, asking you to give
away any of your business secrets or
If not in any way too pertinent
question, would like to ask you if
The Day Book is paying and if so,
how long such has been the case.
Thanking you in advance, l remain,
Sincerely yours,
... D. P. Riordan.
l have no business secrets that l
am conscious of, and have no obtec-
ton to answering the question. The

as an adless newspaper by the end of
this year, although l may be disap-
pointed. ..-.
If the people of Chicago put on
$4,000 more readers by the end of
this year, The Day Book will be max
ing little profit, and l will then be
able to spend more money in push
ing its circulation.
The circulation of The Day Book
could have been increased much
faster than it has been, if it were
feasible to adopt the same circula-
ton methods for an adless newspaper |
that are adopted by newspapers that |
depend upon advertising for profit.
For this adless newspaper to be a
success financially, its circulation
must be compact, and must be put /
IN, h. = L
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-05-13

pay reasonably on $4,000 circulation,
and put it on a self-sustaining basis
with less circulation than that-and
without taking in a penny for any
thing but sales of the paper and the
sale of white paper waste.
l sell the paper wholesale to news
boys or carriers who come to the Of
flee and get them at 50 cents per 100.
When they are delivered to news
stands or elsewhere the Wholesale
rate is go cents per 1O0-the same as
all other evening papers.
And then,I must have the circula-
ton compact enough so that the ex-
ira 10 cents per 100 viii pay the cost
of delivery.
This will explain to those interest
ed why this paper is not delivered in
all parts of the city like the other
papers are.
Establishing an adless newspaper,
and especially establishing the first
one in the world, is necessarily a mat
ter of slow growth. The size was I'M
usual and everything about The Day
Book was so unconventional that
people were slow to understand its
meaning.
We are creatures of habit, and are
suspicious of innovations. We can't
see how anything can be done that
has never been done before. At first,
think some people were really
ashamed to be seen reading The Day
Book, because it was so odd look
ing for newspaper. Possibly they
feared people would think they were
reading a tract, an almanac or a
patent medicine advertisement.
But they are getting over that now.
You see people reading it on all
trains; and they are finding out that
they get the news in The Day Book,
including much news that other
newspapers dare not print for fear
