The evening world., 1894-03-06

World has been liberal to the people
who have supported 1t by going to every
expense to supply them with the earliest
and most complete news. Then. too, The
World has always been popular be-
cause of its independence and Its
readiness to take up any public
or patriotic cause 1t has helped the
weak and the oppressed. and has never
lost chance to show up a rascal. That
has been the prime cause of It's success.
but then. too, there must have been n
wise selection OF men to do the work
and splendid business management Let
The World keep II up. Who can
prophesy where 1t will stop?"
MIR. WORMSER'S OPINION.
1sldUr Wormser. OF the banking firm
OF /. & S. Wormser, in the Mills Build
Ing. was reading the report made by
the committee OF financlers on the cir
culation of The World when n reporter
called On him yesterday. Il always
knew that The World had tremendous
circulation said Mr.. Wormser. but
| never supposed that the circulation had
climbed up In the way the figures show
that 1t has the names of the gentlemen
attached to the report are sufficient guar
antee that the inquiry made into the
circulation was no perfunctory perform
ance. These gentlemen stand very high
In Wall street, and that they found
time to accept Mr.. Pulitzer's invitation
for task OF such magnitude shows how
carefully the work must have been
done.
| These gentlemen have done a great
service In giving to the public the In
formation they did. 1t is an easy thing
for any paper to claim n big circulate
but 1t is quite another matter to prove
It, That is what has been done in this
case. The facts as TO the crcula ton
are proven beyond any doubt. To people
who are continually doing business with
newspapers this Is matter OF no
small Importance. This applies with no
little force to Wall street.
1T is very natural for those who
want to advertise. to know just what
they are going to get before they spend
their money. The paper, of course, that
reaches the greatest number OF people.
Is the paper that can do the most good.
There is no doubt whatever about that.
Men viii go wherever they get the best
results for their money.
