FRIDAY, JANUARY 1926. 110 East 42nd Street Throwing Light on The National Capital A Market of Great Possibilities Washington is not only the Na- tional Capital—but is recognized to- day as the Capital City of the civilized world—gathering within its borders the leading factors in the political, in- dustrial, scientific, educational and social national and international life. A point of contact is to be had through Washington, not possible in any other way. The greatest density of population of any state in the Union is in the District of Columbia. There is a larger population in Washington than in nine entire states. Washingtonians made a larger number of personal tax returns for 1923 than 28 states. Only 9 cities of the entire country exceeded Washington in the number of personal income tax returns and Washington paid a greater income tax than 27 states during 1923. Washington is the 5th city in the country in use of telephones as rated per hundred by .the Telephone Company., It has 126,000 telephones —or what amounts to one for every 3.9 people. Washington is the headquarters of many important national civic, politi- cal, commercial and industrial organ- izations—such as—Chamber of Com- merce of the United States, American Institute of Architects, Daughters of the American Revolution, American Red Cross, Pan-American Union, Southern Railway, National Geo- graphic Society, American Federa- tion of Labor. All of these are lo- cated in buildings erected for their use. Washingtonians own and operate upwards of 97,000 motor vehicles— more than are in use in 10 states com- bined. There’s a motor vehicle in Washington to every 3.3 of its adult population. Although not a manufacturing city of any pretention it has some 600 manufacturing establishments, pro- ducing finished products amounting annually to over $73,000,000—and in- cluding everything from automobile ‘parts to yeast. Washington is a city of well-to-do people—the Government’s payroll alone amounts to $106,000,000.00 an- nually—and they spend accordingly. Washington is an easy market to cover—because one newspaper— The STAR—Evening and Sunday—completely reaches the field. With its circulation—Evening and Sunday—of upwards of 100,000, The Star is read regularly by practically everybody in Washington and within the twenty-five-mile shipping area. New York -Office Dan A.
