A source of considerable qualification to the management Of the
World is the rapid growth of our list Of subscribers. During the
past ten days we have added over 20 new subscribers and our list
for months past has been growing by leaps and bounds. While
we do not anticipate or expect that all will agree with our editorial
policy, we do believe that people like a newspaper which has some
policy of it's own, and also a newspaper which aims to give the
news. The World has grown during the past two years to have a
mailing list larger than any newspaper ever published in Ramsey
county or the Lake Region of North Dakota, and yet we have noi
reached the height of our ambition, and will push along until we
have reached the 5000 mark. The ones who are advertising in the
World are getting results, and our increasing advertising patron
age is another source of qualification. -G&
