It is our object to make the advertising columns of the Post-Dispatch not less varied
And interesting, then the news columns themselves.
And then he's so good at his job that eventually he drives his one other competitor to bankruptcy.
And then we see he does the exact same thing that he did when he bought the dispatch to begin with.
So this newspaper was called The Star.
The owners of The Star decided to throw in the towel.
It was now their turn on the auction block.
The usual crowd gathered on the courthouse steps.
Pulitzer joined in on the bidding, which started at only $100 but rapidly devolved into a three-way match.
When the bids reached the $700 range, Pulitzer dropped out, and one of the remaining two men prevailed with a bid of $790.
As when he had bought the dispatch at auction, Pulitzer had fooled the crowd.
The man who had placed the winning bid was working for him.
The evening field now belongs solely to Pulitzer.
And so there is a lot of benefits to owning a newspaper.
It obviously shapes public opinion.
It makes you excessively powerful.
But at this time in history, they were phenomenal businesses.
Pulitzer is going to be one of the 20th richest people in America.
And even this small newspaper in St.
Louis.
