This claim is based upon certain Brmiy-established facts, which are well worthy ‘the consideration of all persons interested in com. municating With the public in regard to any busi. ‘Ress proposition whatever. It rests primarily oa ‘the broad and solia foundation that Tur Star 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 tts circulation the largest and fullest, but it is also Uhe BEST, since he paper gors not alone into the hands of the People of the District of Columbia ase body, but into their homes—into the families of all classes, and into Uhose of the money-spending as well as the money-earning portion of the community, —ia 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 ang fair treatment of all public questions, tts tntelli- Kent and effective devotion to local interests, and Ms close attention to matters witn which the household, and especially Its lady members, are concerned, Tae Stak 18 everywhere recognized And admitted to be, in every quality, the leading and favorite newspaper of the National Capital, alike tn the counting-room, the work-shop, and the family circle, In support of these statements attention Ista vited 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- bie increase shown in both departments in each, month over the corresponding month in the pro- vious year, they also ilustrate,in the most for- cible manner possible, the esteem in which the Paper is held tn Uhe city of its home, and by those Who are best able to Judge of its merits as a news: Paper and its valueas an advertising medium, ‘These arethe figures referred to, with which comparison ts challenged: DAILY CIRCULATION IN 1885-86-87. 1ss6, Janvar’ Peercary. 21,933 21,406 21,445 21,033 iPEHEEEE ili cEEEEL Ti Increase.......... 4411 S129 City and County of Washington, District of Oo tumbia, ss: I solemnly swear that the figures in the above ‘two comparative statements are true and correct tn every particular, F.

Key, ‘Notary Public, Of the total circulation given above, the vooksot ‘the establishment show that an average of 17,623 copies were regularly delivered each day by car- Tlers at the homes of permanent subscribers WIthIG ‘the city. Of the remainder a daily average of 6,421 copies were sold at Une office, in the hotels and railway stations, &c., and on the streets, uy hewsboys, making a grand total average within: the city of 24,046 copies daily, and leaving an average of 1,438 copies to be sent toregular sub scribers beyond the District lines by mail, expresy, and railway trains ‘In addition to the large and constantly increas. Ang fixed subscription list above referred to, Itmay ‘be said that of the 6,421 copies sold within its lim its a larger proportion are bought by permanent residents of the city, living in lodgings, &c., not householders, while the residue goes into tbe hands of transient Visitors, from all parts of the country, Whoeach year come to the National Capital ia greater numbers and for longer periods, and wha, furthermore, largely represent the well-to-do and purchasing portions of the communities to which: ‘hey respectively belong. The last-named is @ class of readers alone well worth reaching; but tt 1s to the phenomenally large permanent circula ‘uon of the paper, and especially to its unparalleled hold upon the household and family circle, that ‘the attention of advertisers is parucularly a rected. A comparison of the foregoing Ngures with those representing the entire population of the District of Columbia will show that Tax Sran circulates ‘within its limits something more than one copy for about every eighth inhabitant, of whatever ‘Face, creed, age, or station in life; and, realizing ‘the extent to which its columns are scanned by ‘the several members of the families into which 16 goes, it is not extravagance to claim that the paper ts read every day by fully two-thirds of the population of the District who are able to read! (Can this record be matched by that of any news paper in the world? Intelligent advertisers will readily understand ‘the facts and figures given above, and the value of ‘a circulation of such extent and character, with: ‘out amplification or comment. ‘Tn conclusion, 1t only remains to be said that the subscription lista, the books of the office, and its press and delivery rooms are al all times open to ‘the welcome inspection of any person having & ‘colorable interest in Ube correctness of tne state ‘ments berein made, ‘The Certificate of aw Expert. ‘From the Waabington Post, January 6th, 1888. ‘We congratulate Taz Bran on its great prosper tty, There ts mo better evening newspaper @ Oo United Bates,
