The general public cannot be eX-

Of newspaper making, and consequent
" do not comprehend the fact that
must not get circulation
out of proportion to advertising re-
ceipts But, as Il matter of fact. many
of the biggest newspapers resort to
expedients at times to hold down cir
culation.
Something over a year ago, when
the general business depression hit the
country, this journal was caught with
too great circulation for the advertis-
ing patronage available. When the
war came a still worse condition pre-
vailed.
The publishers of the Press years
before had formulated a policy for
{ Dollar Daily, believing the demand
of this valley is for a small daily
paper reaching into the farm as well
as the city homes. On that basis, it
had grown until the paper actually
reached more than half the homes in
the entire county. But when the de-
preston hit the country and the war
came on, all the plans of years were
necessarily laid aside for the time be-
ing until it should be apparent that

CITY GIVEN PLANS

Great Dollar Daily
In Existence Again

the country was again on the up
grade
The reader can understand that the
white paper hill of the Press would
lie four times as great as that OF
competitor with but a quarter of the
and it became necessary
to get out from under that handicap.
For this reason the subscription
Price of the Press was raised until
there should be u turn in industrial
and it was uncertain how
soon that day would come.
There is no longer any doubt that
the national industrial crisis has
7 assed and that affairs are surely
though slowly, improving.
This means that the time has come
when the Press can return to the
policy it has followed for six years,
and The Great Dollar Daily is born
again.
Under this policy, the Press is
served by carrier in El Centre or by
mail elsewhere in the county for one
year for One Dollar. Outside of Inn
rerial county the price will be Two
Dollars a year.
Wishing to be fair at all times. those
who have paid a higher price for the
Press will have their time extended
proportionately,
