Show 100 Wager Offered that The Tribune Has Larger Circulation Circula-tion than Telegram in Bingham The first of the week a representative of The Tribune was in Bingham and when told of the claims of The Telegram for its circulation in Bingham, he immediately offered to bet $100 that the Tribune had a larger circulation in Bingham than the Telegram. Tele-gram. The representative of the Telegram has been trying to make business men of Bingham believe that it has a circulation of eleven hundred around the camp. The circulation manager of the Tribune for this district does not make such falsifying claims, but states that his paper has between 650 and 700 subscribers in the camp. He further stated that this was more than the Telegram had. The last count he had on them was made about the middle of December, and at that time they were actually sending 575 papers to Bingham. We are anxious to place these facts before the people of Bingham Bing-ham so that they may know who is who. The Tribune has maintained main-tained a good circulation in Bingham for many years and the people peo-ple of this community cannot be fooled between a good newspaper and a poor one. We might say in passing that the Tribune should give the people more news of what happens in this important mining min-ing camp than they do, and we feel sure that their circulation would grow. The people like a good reliable newspaper which tells the facts in a clear-cut fashion and does not distort and pad to fill space. While we are passing we wish to call your attention to the fact that the best medium for correct up-to-date news is the Press-! Bulletin published each Friday and giving all the local and society Bingham through newspapers of Zion. They have enough to do to boost Salt Lake City, and they are doing their best. It is their business to attract the trade to Salt Lake City, not to Bingham. A Bingham merchant hasn't a ghost of a show in advertising in a a Salt Lake newspaper. |
