POST-ENQU|RER
Of OAKLAND
BUYS HOME
Member Of Hearst Chain Of
Newspapers Becomes One
OF Big investments.

Following one Of the most rapid
newspaper expansions in the West,
The Oakland Post.Enquirer, one of
the Hearst chain Of newspapers, ut
Oakland, Cal, has announced the
purchase OF a commodious three
story building as a permanent
home.
The new plant will be enlarged

ments Of Oakland.
The Post-EnQuirer was purchased
q year ago by the Star Holding

followed within a few months the
amalgamation Of the Oakland Post
and the Oakland Enquirer, which.
prior to that time had been circu-
lated In combination with q San
Francisco newspaper.
Today The Oakland Post-Enquirer
has completely eliminated this COM
bina ton circulation system and has
already increased its circulation by
more than 5000, the total circula-
ton today being in excess Of $4,000.
The growth Of the, papers ad-
vertising has kept pace with the
circulation gains.
During the past year the STAFF
has been steadily increased until it
now numbers 40, with $50 carriers.
bringing the total number engaged
in publishing and distributing the
paper to ITO.
The expansion OF the paper is in
keeping with q promise made by
the new management when 1t
assumed control which, in part, fol-
lows:
lit is the determination Of the
new owners Of The. Post Enquirer to
give to the city Of Oakland an indie.
pendent and progressive American
newspaper, devoted to the upbuild-
ing Of everything that IL clean,
wholesome and constructive in our
civic life. No expense will he
spared and no energy conserved in
making The Post Enquirer ar
agency for the intelligent exploita-
ton and upbuilding Of the COM
munity."
The new plant when completed
will be one of the most modern
newspaper buildings in the West.

The income from her Amer ican lectures will thus be applied. un- der her own immediate direction. to- ward helping those who are doomed to suffer the effects of the war as long as they live.
