THE PITTSBURG TIMES

The Question of the Hour.
Every Person is Interested Now
in making the Dollars.
"Take care of the pence and the
pounds will take care of themselves. F"
is a maxium that is peculiarly appli-
cable to these hard times. Waste
fulness at all times is foolish; it is
worse than that now when thousands
are suffering for lack of the necessa.
ries of life.
The Pittsburg Times is an object
lesson in proper economy. 1t pre-
sents one of the chief necessities OF
life-all the news at the lowest pos
sible cost. Notwithstanding the fact
that the Pittsburg Times is sold for
only one cent a day, the claim is
made for it that is is the most com
plete newspaper printed in Pittsburg;
that every occurrence of human inter-
est in every part of the globe is
promptly reported in it's columns;
that it is essentially paper for the
home, everything of an objectional
character being excluded;that it is the
only paper In Pittsburg whose market
reports are reliable and revised every
day in the week; that it is the only
Pittsburg newspaper which prints
daily a carefully prepared department
for the ladies and once week re-
port, prepared by experts, of special
interest to agricultural readers; and
finally, it is the only Pittsburg news
paper which prints daily the highest
class of fiction.
In addition to all this, The Times
offers to all it's readers at a nominal
cost the opportunity of securing one
of the highest class magazines print
ed in the country, and to the ladies
their choice during the year 1894, OF
twelve of tte most approved paper
patterns, with privilege of selecting
from list of $4,000. Send for a
sample copy of The Times, which
will be mailed you free and see how
these promises are fulfilled. If there
is no agent for The Times in your
locality a profitable business can be
established by writing for the agency.

The tendency of an occupation OF
this nature is to develop in the artist
the most critical and an alay ytical
distinction of lights and shades, but

Indeed the practical business photog-

results from the possession of those
