Mr. A1 Biorge, advertising and circulation manager of the three we newspapers publish, has joined me as a partner, and will carry a minor interest until such times as he desires to buy an equal interest.

I have often been , asked just how we expect to compete with all the daily papers circulating In this county. has been that My answer always we dont expect to compete with them. We arent, we cant, and we dont see any need of trying to. The dailies can bring the spot news, .the state, national and world news. We dont try to do this. The product we sell is local, hometown news with the hometown slant. No other paper in the county has this commodity to present asdo we. Why should we try to sell something the other fellow can get more of and present in a bet- ter way? We have an abundance of hometown news that people want, and that they cant get elsewhere. We have found that the ordinary items about ordinary people create the highest pos sihle reader small cities interest in these where everyone is acquainted. We are not fretting about the daily competition because our commodity is in greater demand than theirs. Can any Cache County ham-mand saw artist top this?
