M papers. sse,,

Renecting In its widening circulation
and Increased adyerdhlng patronage
the prosperity that marks the opening
Of the new year The Plttsburg Times
more than ever impresses upon its
readers the excellence of its high
standard and the success of its efforts
to make a model paper for the indl-
vldual and for the family. The Times
Is newspaper, sparing no pains nor
expense to cover the world thoroughly
every day, that It's current page of his
tory may be complete, and in its longer
range overlooking nothing that occurs
at home. 1t is clean, dignliied and re-
liable, certain that NO lack OF these
features can be made up in offensive
sensationalism. 1t can be taken into
the family circle with confidence that
its columns are flied with wholesome
instruction and entertainment. Wher-
ever known The Times is recognized
as the best type of a concise, crisp and
complete newspaper, and among news
paper men ii Is the publication with
which comparisons of excellence are
made. While The Times Is Republican
IN politics, it realizes that others have
a right to be en- earth, and that poll
tics are not everything When one
cent a day will buy morning paper 1t
is foolish to be without one. The
Times Is three dollars a year or six
cents week, and worth the money.
