7b Ouf Advertising Friends
The SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, though happy over its
debut to Savannab and the state, finds itself confronted with
an unusual state of affairs, having to mark.its birth with an
expression of regret to those advertisers who, at the last
minuted found it impossible to secure space in this initial issue.
Until our plant has been properly syncronized for the
expected degree .of production, we did not deem it advisable
to tax machinery, moored to new foundations, beyond sixteen
pages.
At a* very early date, this will be accomplished. We will
then be in a position to care for every friendly advertiser.
The enthusiastic cooperation extended to us by the reading
and advertising public of Savannah is an incentive to make
rapid strides toward greater progress.

PROMIHEHT CITIZENS PREDICT GLORIOUS
SUCCESS AND EXTEND FELICITATIONS
TO DAILY TIMES ON ITS FIRST ISSUE
That the Savannah Daily Times

prominent Savannahians, who have
sent their congratulations and best
wishes to the new daily paper.
Commending the Daily Times on
the friendly feeling it created as

for splendid achievement in serv

acteristic fashion:
D. T. SIMPSON, president of the
Chamber of Commerce: I extend
heartiest congratulations and best
wishes for its success to the Savan

of your paper from a semi.weekly

since the battle of finances began.
Os course Wyatt’s decision will
be appealed. It will run on up to

Ergo, it can not be reduced or whiL

Smart Homing Pigeon
Saves Straphangers Clough
Out Smarts Street Car Co.
By RICHARD H. SYRING
Central Press Correspondent.
PORTLAND, Ore., April 4
You’ve probably never heard of
Blue Boy, but he’s outsmarting the
street car company here. And how
many straphangers wouldn’t like to
do that?
Best of all. he’s saving lots of
money for the Kubat family here.
Each time he wings his way from
the Kubat shoe repair shop down
town to their home in the suburbs —
eight miles as pigeons fly—he saves
them 10 cents, the price of one
street care fare!
Blue Boy is a three.year-old hom
ing pigeon. With IS others, he is
the personal property of Urban Ku
bat, 19, who, with his father, oper
ates a shoe repair shop. His fame
comes as a street car pass carrier.
(A weekly rtreet car pass costs
Portlanders 51.25.
This is a Pigeon to Have!
Each week day morning, Urban
goes to the pigeo- loft, gets Blue
Boy, puts him into a “carry-all” and
hops the corner street car, using
the family’s weekly pass. Then
when he gets downtown and has
opened his shop, the pass
is tucked into a small leather case
under Blue Boy’s ving, and Blue
Boy hits the aerial trail for home,
with all the dispatch of a mail
plane.
Rain, snow or fog, about four min
utes later, he drops in for a two
point landing at the family loft,
and says good morning to Mrs. and
the little Blue "oys ar ' gals.
But Blue Boy’s travels for the
day have just begun. A. R. Kubut,
Urban’s father, by uils time has had
his breakfast. He removes tLa pass,
also places Blue Boy into a "oever
all”, sometimes a paper sack, and
sallies forth to catch the next street
member the Savannah Times of
40 years ago and hope you will be
as good a newspaper as that was.
You have a wonderful opportunity
to Serve your city, county, state
and nation and I wish you well.”
MARION LUCAS, postmaster of
Savannah: “All the luck in the
world. I know you will have the
good will of the people of Savan
nah. Prosperity and best of suc
cess.’
ORMOND B. STRONG, superin
tendent of schools: "Best wishes
for success. I wish King Dixon
and his associates on the Times
property and happy days. I h. e
a most friendly fe.ling towards a
number of your staff and feel grate
ful for the aid your paper gave the
recent bond issue while you were
still a semi.weekly.”
JOHN J. BOUHAN, prominent at
torney: “The best ■ luck an
prosperity. I know you will serve
your readers well and I predict a
very happy future for the Times’’
DAVID S. ATKINSON, State Sen
ator: "Best wishes for success and
a long life. I know your publica
tion will be beneficial and a help
to the entire community which it
will serve. I wish you prosperity
from the very first edition on.”
gia is considered in no better pos
ition to sue Georgia, than a citizen

In this particular matter. Gover

Then the Mrs.! * ’
A-
The operation of putting the pass
back into the case is repeated, and
with the same enthusiasm Blue Boy
hastens home. By noontime, Mrs.
Kubat loads a lunch basket and
goes through the same operation,
but the pass is kept downtown, so
two members must pay their fares
home. Because, a Urban says, the
system works on a "one-way" basis
as far as Blu> Bg. is concerned.
He’s a one-way bird!
Occasionally, though, when Ur.
ban’s sisters desires to go to town,
Blue Boy makes another trip, but
he doesn’t mind because he seems
to loye flying over skyscrapers.
Readily you can figure Just how
much Blue Boy saves the Kubat
family annually. It’s well over S6O.
Not much care either, is Blue Boy.
When he is released downtown he
goes home and never has been
known to do any philandering en
route with the many pigeons which
feed in Portland streets!
Credit Goes to Boy
The family gives all credit for this
money-saving procedure to Urban,
who has made homing pigeons his
hobby for more than eight years.
Blue Boy, as well as others in the
home roost, are of the exclusive
Logan, pure red strain.
