Therefore it must have an extremely able publisher. Who? One name appeared last week to be the key to the situation: Frank Ernest Gannett of Rochester, N. Y., Unitarian, Dry. Most famed of 17 Dry Gannett dailies (fourth largest group in the U. S.) is the Brooklyn Eagle. Probably the new paper would be published in the Eagle's plant but in no other way would the Eagle be affected...
...morning last week Publisher Gannett rose very early to open the doors of the Elmira (N. Y.) Star-Gazette himself. It was a gesture of sentiment.

But when they tried to purchase wire services and features they met with outright refusals or demands for prices far out of their reach.
