It rests primarily on ‘the broad and solid foundation that Tae Stak cir- culates in the city where printed a larger number of copies in proportion to population than any Paper in the world, And not only ts its circulation the largeét and fullest, but it 1s also the Bgsr, sinée the paper goes not alone into the hands of the People of the District of Columbia as a body, but into their homes,—into the families of all classes, and into those of the money-spending as well as ‘the money-earning portion of the community,—in @ larger ratio than any daily journal of general Circulation that can be named, By reason of the fullness, freshness, and reliability of its news, local, domestic, and foreign, its independent and fair treatment of all public questions, its intelli. gent and effective devotion to local interests, and its close attention to matters with which the household, and especially its lady members, are concerned, THE Star is everywhere recognized and admitted to be, in every quality, the leading and favorite newspaper of the National Capital, alike in the counting-room, the work-shop, and the family circle, In support of these statements attention ts in- ‘vVited to the tables below. They not only show the circulation and advertising patronage of the paper for the several years named, but, by the remarka- ble increase ghown in both departments, they also illustrate, in the most forcible manner Possible, ‘the esteem in which the paper is held in the city of its home, and by those who are best able to Judge of 1ts merits as a newspaper and its value as an advertising medium.
