In circulation The Star scored the enormous increase of 464 more papers sold than for the same month one year or a daily average increase of 4,864 copies. AND THIS IGURE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE SALES OF EXTRA SDITIONS, WHICH THE OTHER PAPERS CONSIDER REAL CIRCULATION, BUT WHICH, IN_ FACT, THING MORE THAN FLUKE CIRCULATION. Eliminat extras, The Star's actual daily average PAID 1 was 46,872, showing a gain than the combined increase of all other Seattle papers. Of the other papers, one showed a gain of about 44 per Ment in advertising, as compared with The Star’s gain of bpractically 12 per cent. by Another paper showed a loss of 8 per cent and the fourth per showed a loss of over 25 per cent in the volume of advertising. And thus The Star prospers and grows, optimistic and ul, enjoying life to the full, and aiming each day to its full duty to the people As for the petty, the jealous, and the lying attacks of other papers, The Star rather enjoys them, too.
