SELLS ON IT'S MERITS.
That Accounts For Increase of the Bos-
ton Sunday Journals Circulation.

The marked increase in the local sales
of the Boston Sunday Journal is only the
legitimate result of the attractive features
and high quality of the newspaper which
the management is publishing. The Sun
day Journal now consists of complete
newspaper, supplemented by new feature
section, well illustrated and entertainngly
written, and in addition to these every
buyer is entitled on every Sunday to a
bound magazine, illustrated in the same
style as the expensive weeklies, and re-
production in the original colors on can
vas paper, 16 by II inches, of the most
famous and popular paintings by modern
artists. Nearly thirty different paintings
have already been distributed by the Sun
day Journal and there is scarcely reader
of the Sunday Journal who has not found
many of the reproductions so attractive
and beautiful that they have been framed
for home decoration.
