The supremacy of the St. Paul
Pioneer Press among the newspapers
of the Northwest has become an un-
questioned fact. By a glorious ca
reer of honest, public spirited right
doing and strong-saying, it has
gathered under it's standard the best
people in almost every community
in these great states, and the loyal
ty of it's readers cannot be weakened
by all the alluring circulation bland
ishments of other newspapers. The
number of it's readers is daily on the
increase, and none of the premium
propositions of coaxing competitors
seem capable of winning any of them
away. And no wonder. There are
many reasons why the Pioneer Press
has the largest paid circulation of
any morning newspaper published
in the Northwest. It has all the
virtues of age and none of the vices
of youth. It's editorials emanate
from master minds; it's news features
are comprehensive, accurate and
complete; it's market page is the
standard authority throughout this
section of the country, and those
who direct the interests of the paper
have devoted their lives to the study
of the political, domestic and indus
trial pursuits of the people. 1t is a
home paper-written for family
reading uplifting in it's tone, en-
nob1ing in it's energies and modest
in it's avoidance of the sensational
ye1lowism to which modern journal
ism is SO prone. 1t tells what it
knows to be true, or tells nothing.
no lies, no exaggerations.
The price of this genuine news
paper, worthy of your wife's, your
daughters or your own reading, is
neither more nor less than some of
the sheets which you sometimes are
persuaded to permit in your home.
Make the Pioneer Press an institu-
ton in your family; it belongs there.

A youth was engaged as junior clerk

astonishing result. The letter ran as
follows:
Dear Sir-If you do not at once remit
payment of the amount which you owe US,
we will take steps that will amaze you
