The figures for the New York Herald,
said to be the best advertising medium
in the United States, for the five
weeks from August = to August

1900. For the corresponding weeks
of 1902, the Situations Wanted were
1929 and Help Wanted" 1865. Thus
in 1896 the excess of Situations

excess of Help Wanted was 1876. lit
must be remembered that the "Situa-
