Governor Slaton Personally Investigates and
|| Verifies the Circulation of The Georgian

BEP 7 R IC A N
. October 4th 1913„
At the request of.the managment of The Atlanta Georgian
and The Sunday American, I personally examlnsd on Friday after
noon their various circulation statements, in detail. This work
required sometime, but it was willingly given, because I regard’
these newspapers as enterprises of which all Georgia should„be
proud. The figures the papers furnish, under oath, to the postal
authorities show a marvelous growth for the time The Georgian and
Sunday American have been in Mr. Hearst’s hands—particularly The
Sunday American, which is only six months old.
These circulation figures I have checked up and verified'
in person. I have examined the sworn statements of the circulation 1
manager and the cashier of The Georgian corporation, and cross */
II > '
questioned them in detail about the circulation figures. I be-
lieve the figures to be absolutely correct.
Purely from a business man’s viewpoint, both The Georgian
and The Sunday American, in points of quality and quantity of cir
culation, should be, and I have no doubt are, highly satisfactory
||l ~ T x>«
and effective advertising mediums.' Certainly they are most ex
cellent newspapers, and should commend themselves to merchants for
business purposes*
The fine circulation showings furnish me ample foundation <
for warm congratulations. I sincerely wish for Mr. • Hearst and
hia Georgia newspapers the fullest measure of prosperity and suc
cess—both of which seem assured. lam persuaded this great pub
lisher means to be consistently a firm and powerful friend of At
lanta, Georgia, and the whole South* and I well know hie ability
