The Evening Star Is the OtpEsT and most firmly established newspaper pub lished in the District of Co lumbia, having won the high position it holds in the confi- dence of the people of Wash- ington by forty years of faith- ful and unswerving devotion to their interests, without regard to any other influence or com sideration whatsoever. THE STAR is the Larcest paper published in Washing- ton, with a general equipment and printing facilities three-fold greater and better than those of any other Washington paper; and, having the full Day Re ports of both the New York Associated Press and the United Press, supplemented by an une- qualed service of Exclusive Spe- cial Dispatches from all promj- nent points in America and Eu- tope, it prints more and fresher Telegraphic News than any other Washington paper can possibly supply, furnishing at the same time a greater amount and better quality of Local, Domestic and General Intelli- gence, and a larger quantity and higher grade of Original and Selected Literary Miscel- lany than any paper in the Dis trict. Being delivered at the homes of regular subscribers for the trifling sum of ten cents per week, THE STAR is much che CHEAPEST paper published im the District, as well as the Best, THE STAR'S circulation in the City of Washington is more than three times larger than that of any other newspaper, and the number of its readers more than five times as many. As an advertising medium it there fore stands without a competi- tor, whether either EXTENT or Qvatity of circulation is con- sidered. That the intelligent public thoroughly understands these facts and acts upon them is conclusively shown by the steady and rapid growth of the paper’s business both in circula- tion and advertising patronage. Note This Point. THE STAR gives the exact figures of its circulation every week, and cheerfully opens its books and press and delivery rooms to any person having in- terest in the correctness of its Statements, so that its patrons know precisely how much and what kind of publicity they are getting when they buy space im its columns. PUTT ysy THE STAR isthe only paper in Washington that thus takes. the public into its confidence, and few papers anywhere are willing to do it. This fact is more expressive than any words
