Subscribed and sworn to before me this 2d day of February;
A. D. 1920. (L. S.) Henry C. Latshaw, Notary Public
The AMERICAN has 85,985 more circulation than it had a year ago the News
has 4,154 more circulation than it had a year ago.
From January 1919 to January 1920, inclusive,
The AMERICAN gained over 27 in circulation.
The News gained a trifle over 1 in circulation.
There are three evening papers in the United States with a circulation exceeding
400,000 and two oi tnese are ncani papci&.
v s
The New York Evening Journal, 687,624 circulation
The Evening Bulletin, Philadelphia, 457,569 circulation
The Chicago Evening. American, 400,920 circulation
Mark carefully the comparative circulations during the last week in January:
Daily average circulation, Evening American, 410,291
Daily average circulation, The Daily News, 388,709
Daily EXCESS of American over News during period named 21,582.
This phenomenal forging into first place among Chicago's evening papers by The
Evening American is one of the greatest achievements of Americari journalism!
the 45-year old Daily News making way for the 20-year old Evening American,
is a faithful reflection of Chicago's progressive, youthful energy another proof that
"Youth Must Be Served 1"
For, Chicago, YOUNG Chicago, made this change of its own freewill!
Chicago, PROGRESSIVE Chicago, has decided that it prefers the AMERICAN
as a NEWS-paper. This preference is indicated in increased home (carrier) circulation
in increased news-stand circulation in increased City, Suburban and Country circulation
in every division of evening-paper distribution- the circulation of the AMERICAN
has increased more rapidly than that of The Daily News inosr notably in the City of
Chicago proper and in the 40-mile zone of which Chicago is the Buying Center.
As applied to a newspaper, "Gets it All and Gets it Firsr" wa3 bound to win;
was sure to make
