FACTS ABOUT-


THE MUNCIE EVENING PRESS


THE PRESS is Muncie's only evening newspaper; further, it is the only evening newspaper in the Eighth Indiana District.


It also might be said of The Press that it is the eighth largest eve- ning newspaper in Indiana.

THE PRESS gained approximately 45 per cent in foreign advertis- ing during the last year, which is about 20,000 inches of space.


THE PRESS carries more local display advertising six days a week than any other local daily paper-which proves the great pull- ing power of The Press in its local field.


MR. ADVERTISER, if The Press will work overtime for the other advertisers, what will it do for you? Give it a trial, and it will speak for itself.


THE PRESS is a ten to sixteen-page daily newspaper.


THE PRESS covers the District like the dew.


THE PRESS has a full leased United Press telegraph wire. and an operator in its building.


THE PRESS has a fair rural circulation, but mostly city and country town circulation.

THE PRESS has forty-eight regular carriers covering Muncie daily.


THE PRESS has thirty-two outside agencies handling and selling The Press.
