ALL NEWSPAPER RECORDS BROKEN
November 1,1909, the Morning Mail and Evening Tribune merged to fill the
nnniilnr flntimnfl for one creditable new8TPCr instead of two poor tmes.
It is the aspirution of
outside of Portland, and
poijulation. Uenerous support uy commercial interests ana ine puonc wm eiiuoiu
tho realization of its ambition, and make the Mail Tribune Medford 's greatest ad
vertisement. Thnt. the Mail Tribune is appreciated is shown by its steady growth. No pa-
;: per in the northwest has as large a legitimate paid circulation, population eonsid
;; ered. Its books are open to all. They show a record of which any paper can be
woud.
A newspaper is the best thermometer of a community, when the community
is prosperous, the mercury of the newspaper rises. pi-
No newspaper can be successful in a failing community, for a failing community
cannot support it.
Clearing house records arc good; shipping statistics are excellent, but there is
no statement that could go out to the world which will so unquestionably demon
strate that Medford is growing and prosperous as the fact that "The Mai! Tri
bune" has broken all records and today enjoys the greatest circulation ever won by
any newspaper in a community of equal size.
