Baxter Springs news., 1919-05-16
JOINS DAILY CITIZEN AND
WEEKLY NEWS COMPANY

Paul s. Rose, recently from Paris
Texas, has become associated with A.
E. Pfremmer in the printing and pub
fishing of the Baxter Daily Citizen
and the Baxter Springs Weekly News
and the concern has just been ifcor-
porated under the laws Of the state
of Kansas, as the Baxter Printing
company. Mr.. Rose will have direct
supervision Of the printing department
and will also serve in the capacity OF
secretary and treasurer Of the cor
poration, while Mr.. Pfremmer will be
the president and manager. Mr.. Rose
is D young man of exceptional char
acter and ability, and also possesses
the pep that belongs to youth, and he
will, no doubt, add fresh impetus TO-
the business. As soon as q suitable
residence can, be found Mr.. Rose will
bring his family to Baxter and they
will become a part of the social life
Of the community, and this paper be-
speaks for them the good will OF the
people. He will get out among the
business people in the capacity OF ad-
vertising and job printing solicitor and
we are sure that all will find him cour-
teous, paintaking and trustworthy.
It is the purpose of the new COM
pany to enlarge the printing plant to
meet the growing needs of the district
and broaden the circulation and infiu-
ence of the papers.
Since the senior member OF the COM
pany purchased the Weekly News al
most three years ago, the business
has constantly grown; perhaps forced
ahead little beyond the limit of con-
servative omanagement insofar as
starting the daily, yet we. are still here
getting out one of the best small town
dailies of the state and with q job
printing business that in point Of
quality of product is not surpassed
anywhere. The plant represents q
tangible investment that places It on
a par with almost any BUSINESS OF the,
town and the pay roll of the concern
runs close to 5000 week. This money
goes mostly to married men whose
families spend it with the merchants
of the city. 1t is the cardinal princi-
pie of the Daily Citizen that its EN-
plOyes spend their money as far as
possible in their home town and with
the business houses that make it pos
sible for daily paper to be published
here.
The Daily Citizen has unfaltering
faith in the future growth and pros
perity of Baxter Springs. That is the
reason that a printing plant has been
developed here thatis on par with
the plants usually found in cities of
5000 or 10000 people. W,
A towns newspaper is perhaps the
most accurate indicator Of towns
character. Permit a weak, poorly
supported and insignificant looking
sheet to be sent out from your COM
munity and strangers will at once set
the town down as dead one, like it's
paper. On the other hand live; pros
porous looking paper, in which is pub
lished attractive advertisements Of
the local business houses and the yiE
tues Of the community are set fort
from day to day in fOrcefhl news dEs
ticles, Is a constant and convincing
booster for the community, Whenever
a copy of such a paper falls into the
hands Of a stranger and possible in
vestor, he at once concludes that the
town from which such paper is pub
lisKed must be a progressive place,
else it would not have so good paper.
This. fact alone, aside from the di-
rect benefits from intelligent adver-
Using, is an incOntrovertible reason
why The Baily Citizen should be not
simply allowed to exist in the town,
but should receive all the encourage
ment and support needed to keep it
as it is now, in the front rank with
the small city dailies of the middle
west.
