THE EVENING STAR
THE WEEKLY STAR,
WASHINGTON, D. C.

The EVENING STAR, ION Saturdays double
sheet Nr eight page paper Of f1fty-stx columns,
the size Of the New York dailiesl, is everywhere
recognized as the leading newspaper OF Wash
ington. With two exceptions only, it has the
largest circulation Of any daily paper published
south OF Ne,n FORK, AND MORE THAN DOUBLE
THAT OF ANY OTHER PAPER IN THE CITY.
Every issue of THE STAR is carefully read
not only by the citizens of Washington and ad-
| jacent cities, but by the throngs OF strangers
| constantly visiting the National Capital on
| business or for pleasure, {and who constitute,
| In very large degree the purchasing popula-
| ton Of every State and Territory In the Union)
| thus making 1t for most purposes
THE BEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN THE
UNITED STATES.
Its influence as an agent OF publicity has IN
| deed practically no limit within the boundaries
of the country. The best evidence of this is the
number OF new advertisements it printed In the
| year 1879, which reached 20, 1856. averaging
| from 1.7O0 to- 900 per month in the busy
season.! These figures include only the SUBJ
| ject OF the advertisement and not any change
| OF the matter, which, In some instances is made
| daily, and, although new advertisement In
fact, is not counted but once instead of $40 pup
lication dates. The advertising books are open
to the inspection Of advertisers to verify thi
statement, or an affidavit Of Its ruthfulness
will be submitted.
THE WEEKLY STAR.-This Is a double or
elght-page sheet, containing fifty-six columns
