The Winslow mail. (Winslow, Ariz.) 1893-1926, 1925-04-24
W|NSLOW NAIL
TO BE ISSUED
TWICE A WEEK
IN THE FUTURE


Winslow Mail will be issued twice
each week, Friday to remain the
date of the last-of-the-week issue.
and the first-of-the-week issue to
be printed on Tuesday.
Increase in advertising business
and the amount of local news has
reached the point where a conges-
tion occurs at the end of each
week with a weekly paper. During
the entire winter it has been neces-
sary for The anil to print ten or
twelve pages, the maximum of
which The Mail plant is capable of
handling in the few hours given
over to getting out the paper"
Newspaper presses are so con-
structed that four pages may be
printed at one time, and with more
than eight pages the volume of
labor is more than proportionately
increased with each page. Added
to the fact that longer time is re-
Quired to print each section, be-
cause of the rapidly expanding cir
culation list of The Mail, it has
become necessary to divide the la
Dor and paper into two parts, so
that the peak hours of publication
day may be reduced.
The subscribers will greatly ben
eft by the change, inasmuch as re-
ports and reviews of events occur
ring between Friday morning and
Monday evening of each week, the
time when, in fact, most of the
social functions, lodge and business
meetings and school activities of
the whole week occur, will be pub
lished before the news" is old and
another cycle of similar events ap-
poraching cause them to lose inter-
est in the public mind.
More complete reports will be
made of all local happenings, be-
cause of the increased number of
columns available for news matter.
An attempt will be made to publish
an eight-page paper each issue, and
to confine each to eight pages, a
total of sixteen pages, or ia coll
n
or twelve pages have been printed,
70 or "a columns, which were not
quite enough to handle all the
matter, advertising and news,
which came up during the week,
but which was limited to that much
space because of the lack of time,
even though the full force worked
many hours overtime each Wednes-
day and Thursday evening.
Two valuable additions have been
made to the force of The Mail to
handle properly the extra amount
of work involved in publishing the
extra issue Miss Margi Hopkins,
young newspaper woman of ex-
tensive experience, who has since
her arrival in Winslow few weeks
ago achieved wide circle of ac-
quaintances, will gather all local
news, society events, and has in
preparation a series of special
articles and departments of inter-
est to women, of nature that only
a woman can intelligently handle.
The mechanical force has been
augmented by the employment of
Charles Thomas, one of the most
capable mechanics in the southwest,
who is known to most people of
Winslow, and who was for many
months connected with The Mail.
A wider range of news subjects
will be incorporated in the columns
of this paper, especially matters
pertaining to activities throughout
the state An endeavor has been
made in the past to cover stock
and range news from other sections
of the state than just the Navajo
county vicinity, and these will be
increased. A Phoenix press bu-
reau will supply The Mail with
capital news, and from time to time
additional departments will be
added.
The policy of maintaining news
paper strictly for home reading
will be continued, and the aim of
The Mali, to chronicle exactly fully
and interestingly the events of
Winslow will be kept in mind at
all times. Unless The Mail reviews
in full the activities of all the
people and functions as a historical
agency of current eventsa it will
feel that it's mission has been lost
sight of, and the cooperation of
subscribers and friends is asked to
help it perform creditably the du-
ties it feels are its to do-to spon-
sor and foster a greater spirit of
civic pride, stand for and by all
things making for a larger, more
alert city, and to observe the obli-
cations of a semi-public utility
which real newspaper is and
should be.
