something over 1 l.ooo new -paper- ir. the l.'nit.e 1

with additional pages printed i ..by a syndicate,
co the great metropolitan dailies which employ,
them-ands of .per-ons each..
For the smallest, probably ii'it more than
25 pounds of paper is required each week, while
the Chicago Tribune uses for one Sunday edi
