Smiallest Daily Newspaper
Now Half-Inch Smaller
On account of the rising cost
of yellow paper and a warning
that it might not even be avail
able in the future, the world’s
smallest daily newspaper has been
changed frem the yellow canary
second sheets to regular white
newsprint. The change will save
the publisher approximately $l5O
a year additional newspaper costs,
due to increase in price of the
yellow paper. Instead of printing
the paper in sheets 814x11 inches
the new size will be 814x10, which
when folded make a Bulletin page
5 inches wide and 814 inches
long—just half an inch narrower
than formerly. The actual news
and advertising space will be the
same as only the margin of the
paper has been cut. Previously
the margin on the Bulletin page
was wider than the Charlotte Ob
server or New York and Chicago
papers. Even now the margin is
po less than that of the big papers.
Everybody must eliminate waste
and in making this change the Bul
letin will save in just a few
months over two million square
inches of newsprint. A ton of
newsprint cut to the Bulletin size
has just been received and it con
tains 324,000 sheets of paper. A
few years ago this would have
been a two years’ supply, but now
will last about five months due
to the increased circulation of
the paper and also to the number
of pages.
