THE EVENINY STAR, WASHINGTON, T. ©; FRIDAY, MAY 27 1929, Sl o Since its first issue in 1905 the price of The Sunday Star has been 5 cents—in Washington and its suburbs. Every one knows that 5 cents in 1905 went a whole lot further in general than it does today. It would buy a street car ride or a big loaf of bread; a good cigar or a real bag of circus peanuts; a shoe shine or a big sandwich. It’s a hard task to stretch five cents into such achievements in 1929. But, if you will stoh and consider for a moment, that same little nickle coin will, when you spend it next Sunday for THE SUNDAY STAR, go FURTHER BY FAR than it did in the old days. It will buy you the most recent addition to The Star’s Shnday features, the new and en- larged Sunday Magazine. Compare it, story for story, article for article, picture for pic- ture, with the other magazines you read. We solicit the comparison. ’ And while you are reading that, give the children the recently enlarged (from 4 to 8 full pages) comic section. If their laughter over the clean fun of Mutt and Jeff, Moon Mullins, Little Orphan Annie, Reg’lar Fellers and the rest, disturbs you as you read, send them out onto the porch. Friend husband will have picked out the recently enlarged Sport and Financial Sec- tions. Even if he has never stopped to think of it, he subconsciously appreciates the big value to him of the accurate and full tabula- tions of stock and bond prices in the world’s principal financial centers, of the conserva- tive comment of highly trained experts on market trends and his favorite sport, be it base ball, golf, tennis, racing, bowling or what have you. the Derby or the Grand National? How do the pennant races stand? Did Hagen come through in the British Open? What are Helen Wills and Bill Tilden doing on the courts of France? Who wins the Davis Cup matches at Chevy Chase? Did you ever ask yourself how you would keep abreast of the tremen- dously interesting doings in sport and finance if it wasn’t for your newspaper. What else are you interested in? There’s the beautiful rotogravure section, pictorializing the world’s news in scores of perfect sepia half tones. There’s the complete news of the day, more than you can assimilate, told clearly and without bias, the backbone of The Star. What happened to U. S. Steel?
