A REMARKABLE OFFER.

ment which viii attract great deal of
deserved attention. The management of
the two papers has affected an arrange
ment with the Chicago Weekly I9ster-
Ocean, one of the largest, best and all
around attractive and valuable news
papers in the world, by which the
WEEKLY UNION and Weekly Inter Ocean,
issued from the Daily Inter Ocean Office,
will, from this date to the close of the year
ofthe Columbian Exposition and Worlds
Fair at Chicago, be furnished for the
very low price of 81 year for both pa
pers, or the Weekly Inter Ocean and the
DAILY REcoRD-UNIoN for So so year.
The meaning of this is that the sub
Rcriber to the WEEKLY UNION of twelve
pages, and 81 columns week, will also
receive the Weekly Inter Ocean of twelve
pages, and los columns week, or "a pages
in the aggregate for 81 a year.
1t must be borne in mind that the activ-
tiles concerning the Worlds Fair are al
ready well-advanced. Nearly all the
great buildings are under construction,
foreign commissioners and workmen are
arriving, and a constant, and lively and
ever increasing interest is now begun.
To fully get the benefit of all matters con-
corning the great exposition, one should
begin now with its history and follow it
through all its development and up to its
close.
Now the Chicago Inter Ocean is clean,
high-minded paper. 1t can with perfect
confidence be placed in the hands of
youth with assurance that it will be to
them helpful and elevating. tits splen-
did literary Journal full of matters of
greatest interest to home-kitchen to par
lor-office, business mart, library, studio,
lecture-room, school, church, theater,
shop, harbor, field, orchard-indeed it's
great success has been won by reason of
its skill in acceptably addressing varied
tastes. Every one knows what the
WEEKLY UNION is, it needs ia these col
umns no introduction. 1t is proud, how
ever, to associate itself with a journal of
such worldwide reputation as the Inter
Ocean.
Thatan subscribers may profit by the
arrangement announced, we are able to
say that old subscribers to the WEEKLY
UNION, on renewal, may avail of the
new offer by paying the few cents addi-
tional, and which really does not equal the
cost oflthe white paper upon which the
Inter-Ocean or the WEEKLY UNION is
printed.
The WEEKLY UNION makes this Column
bian year present to its patrons, new and
old. as means of gratifying long
entertained desire to afford its readers
full and accurate information about the
wonders and wealth of the great Worlds
Fair. We might have expended large
sum in extra special correspondence, and
we will have special writing and news
from the great fair, but it could not begin
to be so extensive, so elaborate, as will be
the matter published on the ground from
day to day by the Inter Ocean, nor could
any correspondence be one-twentieth so
detailed as will be the reports in the
Inter Ocean.
The offer made, therefore, is one that
we anticipate will be widely appreciated.
1t has been made possible only by great
difficulty and at heavy expense to the
WEEKLY UNION, but it enables the latter
to supplement its own efforts, which are
being constantly augmented, with the
best news and family paper published
in Chicago. The Inter Ocean manage
ment has nothing to gain by the new ar
rangement, beyond the introduction of
its weekly more generally in California.
1t viii not make a similar arrangement
with any other paper; it did not suggest
1t to the WEEKLY UNION, but it is the
result of the labor and solicitation of the
management of the latter alone. It will
be realized, therefore, that it is a special,
unprecedented and exceedingly valuable
offer, fone we think that has not been
paralleled in the history of journalism.
1t means that for 81 year there will be
mailed free of postage and neatly wrap
ped, to any subscriber, twenty -four pages
weekly of two of the best general news,
family, business and literary papers in
the world, or 1,24s pages and 1884 col
umns at cost of less than four cents
week.
Under such conditions any man or
woman, however poor, can have q IL
brary of the news of the times; an elab-
crate current news history of the world:
an exhaustive record of all Worlds Fair
activity before and during the fair.
clean. deeply interesting mass of matter
for general reading, embraced in nearly
200 columns every week for very little
oUer half a cent a day.
We submit this unequaled offer to all
readers of the RECORD UNION and
WEEKLY UNION, and to all others, with
confidence that it viii be received with
pleasure and widely availed of. That it
may be made still more convenient and
acceptable TO those who profit by the
offer. we have arranged that the Inter
Ocean shall be mailed direct from Chi
cago to our subscribers, so that all who
accept the 81 offer will twice week, and
on different dates, receive large I2-page
paper.
To those who wish the daily RECORD
Union and the weekly INTER, 1ooon fo,.
