Our Anniversary. 
With this issue, the ‘‘Breeze’’ is 
entering upon its eighth year. We 
make no formal recognition of this 
event, other than give our readers 
a good paper, with two or three 
special articles and plenty of news. 
To those who have closely followed 
the ‘‘Breeze’’ since its birth seven 
years ago, today’s issue of the paper 
bears a marked difference. When 
our first issue ‘‘saw the light of 
day’’ on the afternoon of Saturday, 
May 21, 1904, we succeeded in get- 
ting out, after considerable hard 
work, 16 pages. Today’s paper 
numbers 68 pages,—the largest by 
eight pages that we have ever 
published. During the busiest 
weeks of last season the ‘‘Breeze’”’ 
numbered 60 pages. 
The same phenominal growth at- 
tained by the ‘‘Breeze’’ in respect 
to size has been attained by its cir- 
culation. We are not exaggerating 
in the least when we say the 
‘‘Breeze’’ has the largest circulation 
of any weekly paper in Essex 
County. 
And yet, it is not always the num- 
ber of papers that count in measur- 
ing a paper’s worth; the class of 
readers count most. The ‘‘Breeze”’ 
is read by nine-tenths of the sum- 
mer visitors to the North Shore. In 
nearly every home it goes, and now 
that it includes Marblehead and 
Swampscott in its field, we are 
making great circulation strides in 
that section of the North Shore. 
We desire to express our thanks 
to the great army of patrons who 
help to make the ‘‘Breeze’’ what it 
is. When the present Editor es- 
tablished this naper seven years ago 
he felt there was a field for just the 
kind of paper he is publishing to- 
day. The class of people coming to 
the North Shore, as well as the peo- 
ple living here the year around de- 
mand a better paver than the aver- 
age weekly. This is what we have 
tried to give them. ’ 
The ‘‘Breeze’’ has its own me- 
chanical plant, which is significant 
in saying that it has one of the 
finest printing establishments in this 
section, for to publish a paper of 
this make-up once a week 1s an ae- 
complishment of an office of more 
than the average size and_ equip- 
ment.
