A BUSINESS PLEDGE.

The Dispatch wants to prove worthy
OF thepatronage of our entire trade
territory when it enters the daily
field. Cordele has twenty-four towns
and villages within its trade territory
and a magnificent rural surrounding
that ought to make it possible to turn
great volumes of business from this
point. Nothing can make it easier to
control all the business within our ter
ritory than a credtable daily news
paper i'll which the local merchants,
business enterprises and Individual
business efforts is well advertised
The Dispatch has detercined to give
the businss community its best efforts
in the daily The space that is going
to the adver tiser igtosn oveHtshrdad
to the advertiser is not going at such
high rate as to exclude those with
small business volume. The paper is
pledging itself to shoulder every legiti
mate business enterprise at the start
and help it secure footing 1t is go
ing to give every bit of assistance to
the older industries and enterprises
that it can. 1t is going to know every
stroke that ought to be made for the
upbuilding of the community and it i'll
going to push for a bigger, better
business for everybody.
There may be some personal likes
and dislikes, but there will be no pre-
ference for one over another business
man or concern when it comes to max
ing a larger volume of toade foa the
han or concern. 1t is going to do its
best for everybody-a pull all the
time for every dollars worth of busi,
ness that can be brought to Cordele
In return for that effort, theh daily
must have the undivided support of
the business community if it ever
amounts to anything. 1t ought alw avs
to be highly representative of the bus
mess get-up-and-get in its own town
1t must be. The Dispatch has the
best euipped newspaper plant in Geor-
gia for any town the size of Cordalc
1t is better equipped mechanically
than Americas, Tifton Moultrie
Thomasville. Waycross, Valdo3ta,
Dublin and Rome But all this does
mean that it will be easier to provide
a daily newspaper here than in any
of the towns mentioned. 1t is going
to be ten times as hard, for all these
places have dailies going, and most
of them are making themselves great
powers for the commercial advantages
of the business centers for which they
stand as spokesman.
For full year the business men of
this community must accord the daily
as wide leeway as possible. They
must remember ii requires steady
support. That does not mean that
anybody turn a charitable mind to il
1t isn't charity that it is going to need.
1t is going to try to be business like
enough to earn every dollar spent
with it. Those who need printing
should remember that to get it from
this plant will add strength to the
daily.
One thing sure: 1t is going to
serve the advertising public with a
circulation that will prove fair remur.
Grafton for the money charged. 1t is
going to prove the live advertising
medium that ii will take to get before
the people of our trade territory and
it is going to do that from the start
1t will therefore be possible for the
advertiser to get reasonably what he
is expecting. The local advertiser is
goinb to nd it most convnient means
of getting quickly at the public for
the public is going to have it. The
Daily Dispatch, we hope. is going to
be papeo no home can well affond to
be without.
