We have attempted to give the area a good paper. News-wise we think we have accomplished it. A newspaper is supported for the most part by advertising. In that department we seem to have failed magnificently. The lslaDd Telegraph has never paid its own way. During the five months of its life, we have not only plowed back in every cent gained from advertising and subscriptions, but also have added several thousand. None of that has been for equipment, It has simply been the week ly expense of producin?, the Island Telegraph and mailing it to readers. Obviously something i,; wrong, Individuals well versed in news paper publication have scanned our scant advertising each week and said, "How long :ire you going to continue giving those people a free paper? You are not getting enough advertising to keep going. '' We felt when we came here that Whidbey had great potential. We still think it. Apparently not enough advertisers feel that way, or want to back such a refreshing thought. Only a handful have done as m uch advertising as they can afford. We have done our level best to make this paper go. Possibly we have made a mistakc---working day and ni?,ht to gather news for space that should have been filled with advertising. Maybe we hav been naive in thinking that hard nosed businessmen would grow to appreciate a sincere newspaper, and recognise the ultimate benefit to be gained in supporting it. We have hecn criticized for givinl!; away free papers.
