Dietrich Lamade Has Built Up Circulation of 100000 Sub

affairs of the firm showed a balance OF
$500 in the bank, 1t was decided TO m

1t has always been the aim or Mf.
Lamade to print the best edited and best
printed newspaper for cents that brains
and effort could produce. Everything was
centered on this idea, and although Mr..
Lamade has many times thought of start
ing additional publications. he has wisely
stuck to his original creation. and the re-
suit is that today, Grit has more than
100000 readers all over the United States.
Fully 100000 pounds of print paper are
used weekly. The paper goes into IL, 900
towns and villages and has force Of 90
Prlnts sixteen Editions.
Each week there are sixteen different
editions OF Grit printed, so as to reach
the different parts OF the country on
time, and to cover the varying needs of
each section. There are 800 correspond
ents and special writer's with Crit and it
is the only newspaper that makes cuts
direct from zinc etchings. That accounts
for the splendid showing of the many
cuts used each week in Grit.
At the home plant in Williamsport.
there are 1870 persons employed. The
mailing department is q hive of activity,
putting up four carloads of mail each
week. In addition to the newspaper ae-

Two Sons in France.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lamade are proud of the
fact that in front of their beautiful home
in Williamsport is a service flag with
three stars. Two sons are serving with
the American forces in France, both in
the transportation department, driving
motor trucks from the base to the
trenches. In addition, Mr. Fleming. his
son-in-law. is doing splendid work in

With all his success, Mr.. Lamade is

with him the credit for the remarkable

Dietrich Lanade OF Wlliamsport, ae-
companied by his daughter. Mrs Geo. r..
Fleming, wife of the associate divisional
athletic director Of Camp Hancock, spent
several days in Camp Hancock recently,
returning on Sunday afternoon. Mr.. La
made is the owner of the Grit Publishing
Co., which publishes Pennsylvania Grit
known all over the United States
Mr. Lamade visited all parts Of the camp
under the direction of his son-in-law, Mr.
Fleming, and was delighted with the To-
cation, the arrangement made for the
comfort of the men and the ideal climate,
which proved unusually balmy during his
stay in camp. Mrs. Fleming will remain
here for some time with her husband.
While in Augusta, Mr.. Lamade and Mr..
and Mrs. Fleming were entertained at
dinner by Bowdre Phinizy, owner of the
Augusta Herald.
Probably no paper in Pennsylvania.
outside Of the Curtis publications, is so
well known as Pennsylvania Grit We
venture to say that among the soldiers at
Camp Hancock it is easily the best known
newspaper. There is not town or ham,
let where Grit is not sold and the great
success of the paper is due to Mr.. La
made's initial efforts and the loyalty and
cooperation of the men and women who
have been associated with him for many
years.
In an interview with Mr. I.amade, we
learned some interesting facts about his
career with Grit Mr. Lamade started
in the publishing business in Williams
port in 1872, when he began learning the
printing trade at the age of 10. He is
now So, but his ruddy complexion and the
sparkle in his eye give him much young
er appearance In 1884. he and two
friends organized the Grit Publishing Co.
as an independent publication. The pa
per was begun as a weekly and the first
year was a terrific struggle to keep going.
In the second year of it's existence. Mr..
Lamade Travelled personally all over Penn
sylvania, appointing agents and securing
correspondents. Armed with quarter
sheet cards, Mr.. Lamade invaded the
towns of Pennsylvania and tackled up the
cards announcing the appearance of Penn
sylvania Grit
Mr. Lamade acted on the theory that
if he secured readers, the advertising
would follow as matter of course, and
he stuck to his task of advertising the
paper with circulars, cards and through
his agents, until each month saw the
circulation growing by leaps and bounds
The first paper was printed on the press
of another concern. The only press owned
by the original Grit Publishing Co. was

like wolf than anything we have ever
seen, and across the officers street sat
the cutest little collie pup. We have seen

Safety First-The metal working
trades have always been looked upon
as dangerous. In this film, taken in
the Ford automobile plant there are
shown the many ways which the
company takes TO safeguard fingers,
hands and arms and the health of its
employees. Huge presses which have
to be operated by two electric buttons
require that they operate with both
hands on the buttons. Double lever
control of punch presses, wire guards
which save fingers and prevent an
employe from becoming entangled in
belts. Rails which guard the top of
huge presses protect the oiler from
any lurking danger. Goggles which
protect the eyes from flying chips.
Finally there is shown the result of a
careless workan leaving his goggles
off, and the plant hospital which
takes care of such accidents.
Japanese Fan Making-Few call
ings OF any kind can rival the extreme
dexterity and skill which the trained
Japanese artisan shows in this trade,
the making Of the Japanese fan. The
raDidity and accuracy with which
they work is thoroughly remarkable
