Akron, Ohio. 3,336,170 22,396,900 3,597,760 Washington, D. C. There were 1,998 daily newspapers (circulation 40,772,937) in the United States at the close of 1940, according to N. W. Ayer & Son's Directory of Newspapers and Periodicals. The combined total of dailies, weeklies, semi-weeklies and tri-weeklies in publication at the end of 1940 was 13,206, as compared with 13,281 at the end of 1939. Paper was invented about 100 A. D. and soon came into common use as a cheap substitute for silk in the scrolls of the time. Many of these ancient scrolls are yellow in color because they were impregnated with a preservative substance taken from the amoor cork tree, several specimens of which are growing outside the rear doors of the Library of Congress in Washington. |
