The Daily Dispatch, Steel & Guterman

Steel & Guterman advertised the Daily Dispatch from 519 North Rock Street, issued every day except Sunday.

The Daily Dispatch advertised from 519 North Rock Street in the 1895–97 directory. Steel & Guterman were identified as its publishers and proprietors, and the notice stated that the paper was issued every day except Sunday.

The advertisement sold the paper with emphatic claims: the largest daily circulation, the oldest daily in the city and the leading daily of Northumberland County. It also called the Dispatch the people's popular penny paper. These were the newspaper's own promotional descriptions, printed around its title and publishing information.
