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.
