A NEW NATIONAL NEWSPAPER
THE ATLANTA DAILY GEORGIAN AND SUNDAY AMERICAN
A Mighty Weapon in the Battle for Good Government, Accurate News
and Progressive Legislation—A New and Growing Family
of Readers, United for the Common Good
NEW NATIONAL NEWSPAPER is born and is fighting for the people and
their interests in the South, which is the new nation of energy and power
within this nation
The Atlanta Daily Georgian and Hearst's Sunday American is the
Southern arm of the Hearst newspaper system
Its field is the entire South The ambition which inspires it is to be throughout
the entire Southern country a helper of those that work for the public good, the carrier
of news, accurate and complete, the adviser, the friend and the partner of good
citizenship
The growth of the Atlanta Georgian and American in a field that is new to the
Hearst newspaper system, has been extraordinary and encouraging.
The Sunday circulation of 120,000 and a daily circulation of 65,000—both
ncreasing week by week—represent in the South the greatest power for good—
which is the power of men united AND THINKING TOGETHER.
Millions of readers of the Hearst newspapers in the North and East and West
are personally united in the birth, the rapid growth and wonderful prosperity of the new
national newspaper
Strength is in union. The thinking, earnest, wisely progressive and radical
millions who make up the Hearst family of readers and who have formed public opinion
n this country in years past, welcome with pride the new Southern branch of the great
family.
The Atlanta Georgian, those who direct it in unison with the other Hearst news
papers, realize to the full the meaning of the words, "Southern hospitality."
The Atlanta Georgian has been welcomed into the homes of the South, made
the medium through which Southern public opinion is expressed, and in two years this
newspaper has come to be the greatest, most widely circulated newspaper in the
great Southern region of progress and growth.
Those who read the Hearst newspapers build up the success and power of
the Hearst newspapers.
It is interesting and gratifying to them to know that the power which they give
s used AS THEY WOULD HAVE IT USED.
The success of one newspaper means THE BIRTH AND THE BUILDING
OF ANOTHER NEWSPAPER.
The gathering together of one great family of readers means, as soon as
Dresses, plant and men can be gathered together, the beginning and the building
up of another family.
The columns of*an honest newspaper are to the people of our day what the
meeting and the public square were to the people of ancient days.
In the columns of an honest newspaper, North, South, East, West, millions of
men gather at the same hour, learn the news, identify their selfish enemies and their
friends, THINK AND PLAN TOGETHER.
Latest and most brilliant of the great national organs of publicity, progress and
fight thinking is the Atlanta Georgian, honored by the confidence and friendship of the
people of the South, reflecting their aims and ambitions, fighting their battles.
Its creation, rapid growth and instant success prove that every section of this
country is able, at first glance, to recognize honesty of purpose, sincerity of utterance,
and co-operate with both.
