People of the Southwest Are Welcome to
 New Home of The Arizona Republican
Circulation Has Increased 1000
 Each Year for Past Eight Years

Like very essential cog in a great machine, the circulation department of Ihe Arizona Republican works effect ively. but not conspicuously. If the cog were to be taken out the machine would stop. But as long as 1t remains m It's place and performs it's work 1t attracts no undue notice.
 This comparison could not be carried much further. A cog does help to build up the machine of which 1t is a part.
 During the month of November The Arizona Republican has held an aver age net paid circulation of 14,000 copies each day and 14,S00 on Sundays.
 When Dwight B. Heard and his as- sociates took charge of The Repub- hcan in October, 1912, The Republican had circulation of 3,927 daily and Sunday. There were only nine carriers employed and the books were filled with delinquent accounts.
 Today the Republican has a force of so carriers and maintains five auto mobile routes. Almost the entire cir culation is in the Salt River valley and the routes are so arranged that the man in Chandler, Glendale. or other outlying points, can have his paper to read at the breakfast table.
 This condition has been brought about largely through the efforts of Oliver King, circulation manager who is the oldest employe on The Repub- lican fin point of continuous service. King has made his way up to his pres ent position from carrier boy. Dur ing his service on The Republican he has worked as a carrier, a mall clerk, collector and detail clerk. He was pro- noted to his present position fin 1917.
 Others who help increase the effi- ciency of the circulation department are Henry Schmitz, assistant manager who came to The Republican after making an enviable record as a circu- lation man in Omaha, Neb.
 Ray Kane is in charge of the car riers. He was numbered among the carriers on The Republican in 1901 and has a vivid recollection of the days when carrier boy in this country had mans size job. Miss Mary Lansford handles the office work in connection with the carrier force and all com plaints concerning delivery are filed with her. It is largely through her ef- forts that the number of complaints of this character have been minimized.
 Other members of the circulation de- partment include Miss Wylene Me- Ginty, in charge of mail subscriptions, Miss Leta Heyne, stenographer, Miss Lea McNeaL typist, Miss Ethel Nihell and Miss Georgia Roelim, who assist III ClICuldLlOu WOIk Wbilt iAHuhhB AhN Republican telephone switchboard.
 For the past eight years The Re- publican has enjoyed an annual in- crease in circulation of 1000 copies. The circulation for the six months of this year. ending october 1, was 12,- 9OS. During the month of October of this year The Republican's circulation was. daily. 1s,492; Sunday. 14,376; No vember daily, 13,956; Sunday. 14,639 Week day averages so far this month exceed 14,000 copies and the Sunday circulation for December has averaged 14.S00.
 At the time The Republican was taken over by the present management there were many delinquent accounts Subscribers were many months in ar. rears. But today practically all sub scriptions are paid in advance anC there are notices sent to any subscribe who delays payment for more than on month.
 Carriers are treated with far nor consideration than in former years They are well organized and The Re publican provides wholesome enter tainment for them at various time: They have their own publication, "Th Republican, Junior" in which they ar at liberty to express their views an other suggestions. The publication monthly and is full of encouragement and sound advice.
 Tn it is sounded the keynote of tn success of the entire circulation de partment: "A1l pull together" ~
