BOOSTING FOR 4 HOME INDUSTRY.

# INV '" Il LtO"HH
1t is pleasing to the Daily News to know that the Water
town Chamber of Commerce has determined formally to begin
a campaign for the home consumption of Watertown-]p produced
goods, particularly with regard to the products OF the South
Dakota Packing and Shipping Co., a WatertoWn institution.
The Daily News has been suggesting from the outset that
if Watertown people would lend their encouragement to the
development Of Watertown-madc goods the result would be
such a stimulus to home institutions as WatertoWn hitherto
has never experienced. The Daily News does not assume that
the action Of the Chamber Of Commerce is due to its agitation
but rather in line with it.
It's a fine beginning in behalf of home products aud should
prove beneficial alike to the city and the packing company.
This is a matter that should concern the WatertoWn mer-
chant in particular, whose business would most certainly col
lapse if the people using the class of goods which he carries
would do their buying exclusively elsewhere, Profit left III
Chicago for a Chicago house, or in New York for a New
York house, or in the twin cities on goods consumed IN Water
town, does not tend to the %upbuiJding Of either Watertown or
the community roundabout. Other things being equal, II be
hooves every resident of Watertown to boost for a Watertown
Institution, whether applied to retailing, to wholesaling or
manufacturing.
The Chamber OF Commerce appreciates the situation and
responds with gratifying assurance, but, as we have suggested,
the retail merchants are more vitality an ddirectly concerned,
for with them success is dependent almost wholly on local pat
ronage.
Saturday news. (Watertown, S.D.) 19??-19??, 1918-12-05
THE DAILY NEWS, CLIENTELE.

1T is not with an intention of boastng that the Daily News
calls the attention of the people OF Watertown to the fact that,
outside of the city of Watertown and Codington county, the
Daily News reaches, in a large measure, what may be termed
Il thew clientele for Watertown.
1T goes without saying that any newspaper, daily or week
l, that attains to a worthwhile circulation must seek it out
side the city of Watertown, for the simple reason that all the
readers OF IA daily paper in the city would afford a newspaper
but d very limited circulation.
The Daily News list of subscribers within WateltoNn has
been growing apace. We believe we are safely within the bounds
of truth when We say that this paper reaches approximately
tWothirds Of all the readers Of a daily paper in Watertown.
Naturally the circulation of a daily in Watertown must be
for a considerable part among people who would take some
other WatertoWn daily if they were not taking the Daily News.
and, to some extent, among people who possibly may subscribe
for more than one daily newspaper.
Within limitations the same condition applies to portions
of Codington county, but when once outside Of the county the
Daily News enjoys the peculiar position Of bringing what may
be termed q new class of readers into association with Water
town and Watertown people.
Take HaInlin county, for example. The Daily News has
d fairly decent list Of subscribers i'll Hanlin, and it is safe
To- say that i large percentage OF them are persons who have
not hitherto subscribed for a Watertown daily. The Daily
News has cut into tile subscription lists of the st. Paul and
The Minneapolis and the Sioux City papers more than into
those Of other dailes.
Ag4aake#S Sphinx and Clark counties as another illustration
Saturday news. (Watertown, S.D.) 19??-19??, 1918-12-05

1.-THE Daily News reaches quite a respectable list iii both Of
these counties, particularly SO along the eastern border of
Sphinx in the vicinity of Condo and Turton and Doland, and
throughout Clark county, including the territory Ia Sphinx
as far westward as Frankfort and Redield. In this region
the Daily News has made inroads into the subscription lists
of the Aberdeen dailies as well as those of the twin cities. A
very considerable proportion Of these subscribers have not
heretofore taken a Watertown daily.
Similar conditions exist, with variations, with regard to
certain other portions Of what may properly be described as
Waterowns trade t~erlitory-that is to say, the area within
which Waterfowl draws the bulk Of its business support
Deuel., Grant and Day counties, i'll addition to those previously
named.
A considerable portion Of the Daily News circulation,
therefore, outside of Watertown and Codington county, and to
some extent within both, serves tob ring a new slientele into
association with WATERFOWL and its people and its business
interests.
This is a source of pride and satisfaction to the Daily
News, which is seeking %nobody's scalp, political or otherwise,
II the Daily News were making inroads into the business
Of some other Watertown Institution, and a Watertown insti-
tuition only, it would feel that its efforts were largely vain
at least, tlat its usefulness would be limited, indeed.
While the Daily News would not knowingly overlook any
business opportunities and would not refuse to accept a prof
fererd subscription, albeit the taking of it might detract to that
extent from a local contemporaries clientele, this paper has
never entertained the delusion that, in order to promote its
own growth, it must seek to undermine somebody else engaged
i'll a similar occupation.
Legitimate business is never developed upon any such
delusive basis. 4 business house grows because it makes itself
useful to the locality roundabout; and, while it must to some
extent encroacl upon a domain which a competitor may have
thought secure unto himself, it will never develop to the point
of lasting credit to itself and its community if it fails to reach
out for new worlds to conquer, 50 to speak.
Hence, 1t affords the Daily News pleasure to assure Wa
tertown that this paper is reaching out among those who have
not hitherto been closely drawn to Watertown through the
reading of a Watertown newspaper.
The Daily News has been gaining Approximately one hun
dred new subscribers each week. 1t expects to add another
thousand by the beginning of the New Year.
And, as already suggested, no inconsiderable proportion
Of it's new readers represents a new clientele for a Watertown
institution.
