The heavy volume of the Nugget Shopper, with its -6300 circulation, Leete said, deprived the other, older, departments of the businesg of the full attention they merited.

The Shopper, which since November, 1947, has blanketed Nevada County. with the exception of Truckee, as well as much of Sierra County, was founded by Leete; with Howard J. Smiley.
