This is your first copy of the Tooele County Chronicle which
we hope meets with your favor and will be to your liking. It will
be published weekly and should be in Tooele City in midafternoon
Thursday. Grantsville should receive theirs about 5:30 p.m. on
Thursdays and Wendover late Thursday night. ... We (the Beckwith's)
have owned and operated the Chronicle at Delta, Utah, since January
1919. During that time we have built up what we consider a good
paper and one that stands second in the state of Utah for circulation
per capita. ... We have been asked repeatedly if Tooele County
is large enough for two papers and our answer is that it is ...
[t]wo papers will be better than one because both publishers must
keep up on their toes to put out their papers ...
The Tooele County Chronicle is owned by Frank S. Beckwith. There
are no other owners, silent partners, stockholders or anyone with
any interest in the venture other than Mr. Beckwith. He has been
and will also remain the manager of the Delta paper, where he
has been managing that paper for the past twenty years. Mrs. Athena
Beckwith Cook will be the managing editor of the Tooele County
Chronicle, with a small office in the Ken Bates Appliance store.
