The Sunday Globe.

nO ShhAAJ NANhN
We are more than gratifed at the
reception The Sunday Globe received
at the hands of the reading public Of
Washington. Many thousands Of copies
were sold, although it came practically
unannounced and unheralded by the
usual advertising found necessary TO
float new venture. Dozens of the
news stands in all quarters Of the city
sent in repeated orders for fresh sup
niles. and up to Thursday, last there
was still a steady demand for the pa
per. We printed an extra large edition
for the first number-twenty thousand
copies-intending to circulate the
greater portion of it as sample copies,
after the trade and reading public were
supplied. On taking stock thursday
last of the unsold Globes, we counted
inst so5 copies which were deemed
insufficient for sample distribution,
and hence we had printed an extra
five tbousand edition. This number OF
comics were distributed grAtultously az
the only advertisement we deem neces-
sarv for The Sunday Globe, inasmuch
as it has found public favor with It's
first appearance. From time to ume
NOW features will be added to The sun
dav Globe, our Intention being TO per
feet it in all departments until II Is the
leading Sunday paper of the nation
capital.
The Sunday Globe had by actual
,reasuremeut more reading matter
than apy newspaper sold in this city on
Sunday last and every line it contained
was original aud prepared for it in this
Office. There were fifty-three columns
of reading matter, including but SIN
gle column of telegraphic news; thus
ffty-two columns Of The Sunday Globe
contained local news Of Washington
and original articles Of general interest
on various topics. In no other news
papar sold in this city on Sunday last
was there to exceed forty columns OF
reading matter, and less than half
dozen columns of local news. 1t Is
true. our contemporaries, foreign ana
domestic. issued larger sheets, but nom
exciting advertisements occupied the
greater portion of the space. The IN
telligeut reader can test this matter for
himself by noticing the time 1t takes
him To read the matter in The Sunday
Globe and in any one Of its contempo'
raries.
We refrain from calling attention to
the quality Of the matter dished up oy
the sunday newspapers contending for
public favor, but if the numerous letters
received and the spoken commenda-
tions heard in every portion Of the city
Is any criterlon--and we think il is
The Sunday Globes fearless exposure
Of corruption and honest, outspoken
criticism Of men and matters met with
universal favor and decided preference
over the colorless and sterotyped stuff
which filled the columns Of its contem-
poraries,
Our predictions are fuliilled-that
Washington needed newspaper OF
The Sunday Globes character, and our
anticipations Of success in projecting it,
has been more than realized.
The Sunday Globe will be found on
the newstands not only Sundays but
week days, and advertisers need not be
admonished of the superior advantages
it presents in this particular as an adj
vertising medium.
Every Saturday afternoon its " table
of content-, !" or leadiu < features, for the
following sunday will be announced in
leafiet aud distributed at the doors Of
every Government department as the
clerks and employees come out from
their offices. Advertisers will be quick
10 comprehend this additional advan-
tage as a means to further the circula.
tion Of The Globe and excite interest in
its pages, thereby exploiting the adyer-
tisements it contains to a most desirable
patronage-the Government employees.
Being an exclusive Sunday newspaper
The Sunday Globe will be found an
ideal medium for the display adveTtis-
ing Of all sales and general announce
ments, as well as valuable repository
for the favors Of annual, semi-annual
or quarterly advertisers, as The Globe
will be on sale on all news stands
throughout the week, as well as by the
newsboys on Sundays.
We present these facts for the con-
sideration of the advertising public,
and we take advantage Of the Oppor-
tunity to thank the reading public for
it's very large and encouraging patron
age Of the initial issue Of The Sunday
Globe.
