A veteran Chicago publisher who
doesn't want his name used said to a
Dnu Rnn1r r.ornr.tn1 -

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 InteT-Ocean. The situa-
ton is logical development follow
ng the purposes of business.
$50 far as the State street stores
are concerned, 1 don't believe they
have ever organized and discriminate
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 afternoons
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 of fveTtising outside of de-
partment stores. But the Big Nine
contribute only about 25 per cent of
The TTibUne's total of advertising.
Yet this 25 per cent is the backbone
IF 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 |
