the Sun is furnishing you.
New York, May 6, 1918.
my Dear Mr.. Lyon:
Ny attention has just been called
to your letter of April 10th.
In regard to the United Press, here
are the facts in regard to our Asso-
Citations;
The United Press is the largest
news collection and distributing as
sociation in the United States that
serves only afternoon and Sunday
morning papers. Early in our bust
ness career we determined that the
needs of the afternoon paper were
dominant that we would devote all of
our attention to taking care of this
then rapidly growing field. Our iudg-
ment in this was amply confirmed by
the rapid development of the evening
newspaper during the last ten years.
Today there is no question but that
the evening newspaper is the con-
trolling factor in the newspaper world
in this country. Every year more and
more morning papers are either merg-
ing or goin out of existence entirely.
Within the last few months, for in
stance, the Boston Morning Journal
has been merged with the Boston
Morning Herald; the New York Press
has passed out of existence, and the
Chicago Herald has been merged with
the Chicago Examiner. These are
only few of the increasingly long
list of apparently old and well-estab-
lished morning papers that have gone
out of existence.
The United Press serves over $50
clients. It's leased wires extend from
Coast to Coast, and from Canada to
the Mexican Border. No press asso-
citation in the United States has a
mission system for afternoon papers
than the United Press. Among our
clients, the papers of the papers of
the class in standing are the New
York Evening Sun, The New York
Evening World, The New York Even
ing Mail, The Brooklyn Standard
Union, The Brooklyn Times, The
Brooklyn Citizen, The Philadelphia
Evening Ledger, The Washington
Times, Atlanta Journal, Birmingham
Ledger, Richmond Journal, Hunting
ton wv. Va.) Advertiser, The Pitts
burg Press, The Pittsburgh Chronicle
Telegraph, The Pittsburgh Sun, The
Albany IN. W Times Union, The
Boston Daily Christian Science Mont
tor, The Buffalo News, The Buffalo
Times, The Cleveland Press, The CO.
lumbus Citizen, The Cincinnati Post,
The Indianapolis News, The Detroit
News, The Detroit Times, The Chi
cago Post, st. Louis Star, st. Louis
Times, Milwaukee Sentinel, The st.
Paul News, The Des Moines News,
The Kansas City Star, Dallas TEX
Journal, Oklahoma News, The Denver
Times, The San Francisco Bulletin,
The Portland Journal, Seattle Star,
and Los Angeles Record, etc. These
are but few of the leading papers
in the United States that take United
Press report and regard it as one of
their strongest assets.
The United Press is the only Ameri-
can news association that has its own
exclusive news arrangements with
South America. The United Press is
the only American association that
maintains bureau in South America.
We have a well established office at
Buenos Aires and also at Rio de ia
metro, and out of these two Offices we
serve Ma Nacoin, the great Argentina
daily, the Santiago Antifogasta and
Valparaiso, Chile, Mercurios, the
three great daily papers of the west
coast of South America, and O'Impar-
cial at Rio de Janeiro. Our South
American service is so far superior
to any other American associations
service from that part of the world
that there is no comparison.
The United Press staff in Europe
has been recognized since the open
ing of the war in 1914 as having pro-
duced service that is not only far
superior othat produced by compel
ing associations, but as being so irigi-
nal and so daring in its methods as to
have created an entirely new system
