A NEW NATIONAL NEWSPAPER ATLANTA DAILY GEORGIAN AND SUNDAY AMERICAN - i 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 tire 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 increasing 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 is 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 presses, 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 right 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. Governor Slaton Personally Investigates and Verifies the Circulation of The Georgian and Hearst’s Atlanta Sunday American SEO . IC AN Ootobei 4th 1913. At the request of the madagment of The Atlanta Georgia® Va£ The Sunday Amerloan, 1 personally examined on Friday after Mtoon their various circulation statements, in detail, Thle rorh <• required sometime, but it wao willingly given, because 1 retard .these newspapers as enterprises of whioh all Georgia should be proud. The figures the papers furnish, under oath* to tbi postal authorities show a marvelous growth for the time The Georgian and Sunday American have been in Ur. Hearst’s Hands--'particularly The Sunday American, which is only six months old. These circulation figures I have cheered up and verified in person. I have examined the sworn statements of the circulation manage; and the cashier of The Georgian corporation, and cross questioned them in detail about the circulation figures. 1 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 n© doubt are, highly satisfactory and effeotlve advertising mediums. Certainly they are most ex- newspapers, and should commend themselves to merchants for business purposes. The fine olroulation ehewlng# furaiah me ample foundation for warm congratulations. I sincerely wish for 'Kr. Hearst and hie Georgia newspapers the fullest measure of prosperity and suo- oess—both of which seem assured.
