Our Edition of Yesterday-A Solid
Success.
We do not care to blow our own
trumpet too often. We prefer to trust
to an observant public. But there are
occasions when we cannot help calling
attention to the visible signs of
success, if it were only to thank the
public. who are giving us such I'M
stinted support, and with whom we
have established such cordial rela-
tions.
1t is only necessary for any one to
glance at our twelve page issue of
yesterday to realize on what a solid
basis of prosperity our advertising
custom is founded. The SUNDAY
MORNING NEWS yesterday had thirty
columns of Observation-Disclosures
of the last installment of the laws
representing the leading houses OF
this city and New York. 1t vas not
alone the quantity of advertising, but
the select character of the establish
ments represented, that made us feel
proud of the confidence which the
business community reposes in us.
In this city, Furst Bros, Brown s.
Van Anglen, the b. o. P. H., Baron,
Perlmutter, Marshall g. Ball, Russell,
Turner & Bennell, Mullins q
Co., Schellenberger, Hartnett,
Sands, One Price Boot and Shoe
Store and the Academy of Music
make an array of first-class
Jersey City patrons which leaves
little to be desired. This is the bust
ness we are most eager for. The
JERSEY City NEWS and THE SUNDAY
MORNING NEWS are Jersey City insti-
buttons first, last and all the time, and
we are better pleased to have one
patron within the community than
two outside of it. In fact it is our
own belief that the time is not far
distant when Jersey City, like Brook
lyn and Newark, will hold it's own
business, when buyers will not dream
of going outside their own city to
p~atronize other cities. This is what
we hope for and will always be glad to
| aid in realizing.
We wish we had the means of plac-
ing the truth respecting our circula-
ton before u readers in the same
convincing way that we can our adver-
Using connection. But it is liz the
nature of things that we can only
make assertions regarding that branch
of our business and trust to our repu-
tation as a truthful newspaper and to
| the good sense of the community to
insure credence. We co~nscientiously
believe that THE SUNDAY MORNING
NEWS has the largest circulation
in Hudson County, and we
know that its circle of buyers and
readers is increasing by leaps, and has
done so regularly every week since the
close of the dull summer season. The
circulation of THE JERSEY City News
has been more than restored to the
figures it reached during the election
excitement of last spring, and we hope
in a very short time to record its
passage over the six thousand line.
Both papers, we are happy to say,
enjoy a prosperity, marvellous for i'm
situations of comparatively recent
establishment; but it is our intention
that they shall lead the journalism Of
the State, and we will never rest until
they reach that commanding position.
THIS mornings World illustrates
the folly of jersey City people look
ing to q New York paper for their
home news. The brief account of the
contest at the Democratic primaries
on Saturday night was condensed
