| Show y lot U yai emetti lo 10 an this is your first copy of the tooele thoele county chronicle which we hope meets with your favor and will be to your liking it will be published weekly and should be in tooele thoele city in thursday grantsville Grants ville should receive theirs about 5 30 p m on thursdays and wendover late thursday night the first four issues are to be given a way so as to acquaint you with our style of paper and give you an opportunity to de termine whether you wish to subscribe reg v or not after the first of july the paper will be sent to subscribers only something about Us we the beckwith s have owned and operated the chronicle at delta utah since january 1919 during that time we have 4 built up what we consider a good paper T and one that stands second in the state of utah for circulation per capita A recent census census of delta showed a population of 1645 and our total circulation both inside and outside of delta is 1250 we have alj ways run a homey paper and one that pan be read by all members of the family and enjoyed we intend to print the same type of paper for tooele thoele getting as much news as we can from all parts of tooele thoele county and then use pictures liberally A plant in tooele thoele it would be far better to operate a plant in tooele thoele than to print them in delta as we will do for the time being but under present conditions to put a plant in tooele thoele would be out of the question for two reasons the first reason is that new machin t ery is almost impossible to get at this time manufacturers of machinery are not guaranteeing an teeing delivery even after 18 months so that new equipment would be out of the question at this time secondly the used machinery market ma k e t is terribly inflated and E to buy used m machinery chinery at this time would leali mean that we would suffer a loss of from 40 to 60 within a very few years to have a plant in tooele thoele would be he far better than operating it as we intend to do but under the present conditions it would not be feasible to establish one there at this time i two papers in tooele thoele county we have been asked repeatedly if tooele thoele county is large enough for two pap ers and our answer is that it is and cite some of the other counties of utah as ex amples box belder has 3 newspapers davis 3 iron 2 millard 2 beaver 2 san pete 4 utah 10 and in utah county lehi has two papers in the town itself so there r is room for two newspapers and two can prosper two papers will be better than one because both publishers must keep up t on their toes to put out their papers and competition will actually help as no one paper can cover all of the field we are not entering tooele thoele county with the idea of running anyone out of business we still maintain that two news papers will create a better condition and that there is plenty of room for both As to ownership the tooele thoele county chronicle is owned by frank S beckwith there are no other owners silent partners stockholders or anyone with any interest in the venture other than mr beckwith he has been and will also remain the manager of the delta paper where he has been managing that paper for the past twenty years mrs athena beckwith cook will be the managing editor of the tooele thoele county chronicle with a small office in the ken bates appliance store it will be your paper we are operating our paper in delta with the idea that we are merely the printers of a paper which is a community pro hect act the columns are always open to anyone and we want the people of tooele thoele county to feel free to use our columns for any kind of legitimate news we actually invite this and hope that you will at any time you have some news either phone us the news tell us where we can get the information write it yourself or drop in the office and have us write it we especially want news of the younger generation the small clubs and organizations the 4 H the the sewing clubs the bridge and card clubs the women s auxiliaries the mens men s organizations and all the news we can get from the outlying communities of the county our accredited correspond ants in the towns will be paid for the news they send us and it will be measured by the column inch for this news we will pay an inch we want to have a correspondent in every community and hope to have them writing for us within a short time paper and 91 business reply envelopes will be furnished them so that they may get it to us with the least amount of effort TA the history of tooele thoele county since the first of january we have been running stones stories of old pioneers history old landmarks and the like in our delta paper this has proved very popular with our readers and creates a great amount of interest in the happenings and personalities of long ago it is especially fitting and proper during this centennial year we want to do the same thing in the tooele thoele county chronicle and cind ask your assistance si in getting these stones of pioneers and the early days of tooele thoele county in most cases the story is written by a member of the family and then accompanied by a picture sent to us we hope to have those stories running within a short time every community in the county has some history and an interesting personality and this is what we want pictures will be returned to the owners after we have used them so please write your name lightly agn on Ithe the iback of the picture and we will get it back to you v will awill we be permanent we have been asked whether or not we will be permanent and that is the 65 question that is something we can not answer at this time and only time will tell on the other hand when you consider that we have owned and operated the delta paper since 1919 you can see that we are not fly by nights we do not intend to come in for a short time skim off as much cream as we can and then get out A successful newspaper is built on permanence and confidence and that is what we hope to attain and to do this we must run the kind of paper you will like and then as soon as possible install a plant in tooele thoele for the paper about advertising you will notice that this issue does not contain much advertising we felt that it was better to publish a few issues before e we solicited advertising we think this will be more fair to those who wish advertising later as they can see if it is the kind of newspaper they want to patronize and they will not be buying a pig in a poke when we do start soliciting adverta advertising 1 sing we will accept any that is legitimate decent and within the postal regulations indecent advertising and those for lotteries drawings etc can not be printed in a newspaper and then distributed through mails as the postal regulations forbid it on the other hand a newspaper makes application for a second class mailing permit they agree to accept all advertising and we presume this to mean all advertising teat that is not against postal regulations and so we will accept all advertising barring from our columns advertising pertaining to a lottery or drawing indecent advertising and advertising that we feel is a scheme to sell something to our readers without giving an adequate return for the reader s money we will not ot discriminate the word newspaper means a paper wi with news printed on it this is what we are striving for and all organizations clubs institutions persons and so forth at some time or other have some news this news we want because we do not believe or belong to that particular organization or club does not mean that we will not print its news we feel that everyone is entitled to equal opportunities in printing their news in the paper and we will be as fair as possible to see that everyone gets their share when you write any news we prefer a typewritten page double spaced if you write in long hand please write carefully and printout print out all names that appear we want to eliminate as many errors as we can and at this time the names of tooele thoele county people will be unfamiliar to us we will use every precaution we can to print your news as you desire it ac 4 0 boele ll 11 WO 2141 ac county 14 ft |
