Newspaers from way out west

The Carson Daily Appeal featured out of Carson City, Nevada, would often times have more ads
than actual reading material. For example, the page that I spent the most time had three and a half out of 5 columns covered by ads. These ads typically consisted of companies that instead of trying to garner new employees, would be promoting their services to the general public. The main story on this page was not written by
 The Carson Daily Appeal but by the St.Louis Democrat describing how infamous outlaw and former confederate soldier Sam Hildebrand has decided to hang up his boots and to continue a life of peace rather than crime. As well as there being an ad attempting to find a man's brother to tell him that he had died.  Insurance looked to be a hot commodity seeing as the three main ads on the page were trying to sell insurance.

The Sacramento Daily Record not only covered local stories, but gave an overview of what was happening locally, but also what was happening around the world. Covering stories about an arsonist in Colorado who was chased by a mob, as well as a criminal case in London called the Bradlaugh case. These summaries covered almost the entire front page, except for a giant ad about Weinstock's and Lupin department store which was trying to get applicants for jobs in which they would hold up to 125 adults.
