On May 21, 1913, a new daily newspaper appeared, The Progress.
The name of the new venture underwent two more name changes when on June 11, 1913, the name changed to The Clearfield Evening Progress, then changed again to The Clearfield Progress, a name that continued until June 27, 1946, when it became The Progress to better represent its increased circulation and the other communities it served.
The first editions were four-page publications and six columns wide. Circulation in 1916 was 500 and grew to 3,000 by 1919.
In 1945 circulation was 8,129 and in 2004 there were 14,000 issues being distributed through a fleet of vehicles, 146 paper carriers, 61 stores and 137 machines as well as papers mailed to every state across the country. Current circulation is about 6,500.
A branch office was opened in Philipsburg in 1946 and later offices opened in Curwensville, Coalport, Houtzdale and the last, in Mahaffey in 1981.
