4 Word With You.

1t Is worth your while to give atten-
ticn to some reasons why you should be
reader of the Philadelphia Press.
The Press is the greatest home Eews-
paper of the United States. Its record
of each days events. in all parts of the
world, is more complete than that of
any other paper. It has no space for
sensationalism or anything tending to
lower the moral tone.
No other Philadelphia paper equals
the Press in its special departments
the woman's page; the literary page:
the market page; the pages devoted to
church news. school news. society news,
g. A. r news, sporting news. etc.
The press is an advocate OF the prin-
ciples Of the Republican party. but it
prints the news of all political events
more fnlly than any other paper; hence
The press should be your paper no
matter what your political opinions
are, if you wish to be well informed. In
word, the Press prints all the news
all the time.
