Publication notice states the Newberg Graphic is published every Thursday morning from the Graphic Building at 600 First Street. Office and residence phone numbers are listed, and the paper is entered at the Newberg Oregon post office as second class matter.

A country newspaper publisher debates a merchant who pushes patrons to shop locally yet fails to consistently appeal to readers to trade at home. The piece notes the merchant’s contrasting approach and the paper’s role in promoting local commerce.
The record states that in October and November dining cars carried 469,508 pounds of meat 098 pounds of flour and 25,699 pounds of sugar. The note implies patrons likely saved much of it, not the car operators.
The Graphic says it does not boast of its subscription list but invites advertisers to inspect it anytime. If merchants doubt the paper can deliver results, the publication will not seek their business. It frames itself as a business venture on a give and take basis, not a charity shop.
