In point of fact, it may be truthfully said that it is without ap equal in this respect any where in the world These averments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed in the paper on euch Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1899, published im Tur Stas on the 18th of January, 18%). Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star has three times the circn- Jation of any other paper in Washing- ton! 2. The Star’s circulation in Washing- ton is double that of all the other daily Papers published im the city added to- gether!! 3. The Star has a larger and fuller circulation im the city where printed, im proportion to reading and purchas: ing population, than any other news- Paper in the world!!! 4. The Star bas the largest regular and permanent home circulation of any two-cent afternoon pnper in the United States !!1: In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the paper, attention is invited to the figures following: PAILY CIRCULATION IN I8S5-86-87-88-89, Isss. 1889, 27,848 28,200 34,766 APR...22,572 24,727 25,575 27,166 29,552 May. 22,474 24,359 25,2742 26,722 FONE..21,933 23,902 25,116 27,45: SULY..21,406 23,186 24,870 26,363 AUG.. 21,445 22,364 24.559 25,521 | SEPT..21,033 22,302 24,905 25,324 4 Oct...21,497 21,701 24,N07 25,946 3 Nov...22,049 23,651 25,687 26.514 DEC...23,000 24,687 26,166 26,752 3 Av'ge.22,123 23,682 25,482 27,082 Increase 1,559 1,803 1,595 Of this remarkable average aggregate of 90,090 copies circulated daily, no more than 1,102 copies are sent out of the city by mail, and 1,106 go to suburban places, by express, railway trains, etc., leaving as a net circulation an the city proper the PHENOMENAL PRO- PORTION of 923¢ PER CENT, or AN AGGRE- GATE of 27,882 copies! Of this number, | 21,142 were delivered daily by regular | Carriers at the homes of permanent sub- | scribers, ‘The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, end by newsboys. But of this latter number a very | large proportion is supplied reguiarly to per | manent residents of the city living in lodgings, | &e. (not householders), 8o that its whole circula | tion may be literally said to be in the family | Circle. While its aggregate circulation there- fore gives Tar Stax a distinctive avd enviable position in modern journad'sm, the fullness of | its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the | household, and particularly by the pur= chasing portion of the community, are | the marked characteristics of the paper, ;to which no other daily Journal now published can furnish a parallel. This is no idle boast on the part of the paper, It is a well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacions and enter- | prising bueiness men of Washington, who seek and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tue Stan's advertising patronage. Nothing can more eurely illustrate the esteem in which any article is held by the public than a constantly increasing demand for it—day by day. week by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- verse claims and pretentiouscompetition. The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTICEMANTS ©RINTED Et | 1885-86-87 -S8-3l, ' 1886.

The larger space required for advertisements during the year 1889 as compared with that occupied im 1888 is even more striking. ‘The average daily space filled by advertise: Ments in 1858 was 25.10 colamns, or 7779 columns for the year; whereas for the year 1889 the daily average was 29.75 colurnns, or 9223 columns im the aggregate, being a ¢otal gain over the pre vious year of1444columns! And this, it mast be remembered, consisted exclusively of the ordinary everyday business advertiang, nothing in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, etc., such as occasiunally swell the business of Political organs, being included in its patrom age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, im proportion to the extent and high character @f its circulation, Tux Stan's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement herein ‘made can be abundantly verified THE CI CULATION OF THE PAPER 18 SWORN TO; ITS PRESS AND CIRCULATION ROOMS ARE OPEN TO’ THE PUBLIC, AND ITS BOOKS ‘MAY BE INSPECTED BY ANY ONE HAVING al IN THEIR EXAMINATION.
