The Best Family Weakly

No other paper that reaches our
desk. so forcibly commends itself as a
first-class family weekly as the DE-
TRoIT COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER. We
have been surprised of late by the
marked and steady improvement
shown in the editorial management of
this old established journal, now in its
oath year of publication. 1t is up with
the times in every respect, and indeed
in some respects is ahead of them but
always on the right course. There is
no other weekly we can so heartily rec
omend to our subscribers as a fitting
companion to their own local Journal
the two together giving them a verita-
bic library of information and knowl-
edge. The Sitting-Room department
of the DETROIT COMMERCIAL ADyER-
User is most attractive feature for
the ladies, the Young Peoples page is
weIl-stocked with special reading for
their benefit; the Farmstead depart
--'~AAN Sh'Ne ihhSh 10 uRTl-
-enltnrists- and tina marL.t renorts are
very comprehensive and reliable. Tie
editorial and news columns are well
filled, with thorough digest of the
general news of the week and com
ments thereon, and the first page is a
veritable cornucopia of wit and wisdom
"a little scrap-book in itself. Poetic
gems are a feature of this popular
weekly, and we are told that many fin.
collections of poetry are made by sub
scribers, from its pages.
Sample copies are sent free to any ad
dress when desired, and few who re-
ceive such fail to subscribe, as in adj
dition TO this all subscribers participate

iums of $35, 600 in Cash to be awarded
