I heartily commend the Brooklyn Times for its successful effort to publish a paper that 1s a fine example of clean journalism and which is making a gratifying increase in circulation without resorting to sensational or meretriclous methods.” Walter Hammitt, Frederiok Loeser & Co.—“It is a fitting recognition of the Im. portant place in the life of Brooklyn which the Brooklyn Times holds and has held for many years. The authorities have done no more than is proper in making this new designation, “Standing always for the highest deals of municipal and borough development, aggressively yot conservatively conducted, It is not surprising that the Times steadily advances in Influence and tn circulation and that it ts more and more the reliance of those who have the best interests of the borough at heart.” M.
