VALUE RECEIVED
IN ADVERTISING

Merchants who spend money
in advertising naturally seek
the medium that brings the
best results. Quality OF clrcu-
lation, as well as quantity, is to
be considered. Where the TWO
are combined-quality and guam
tity-there remains no open
question as to the value of the
medium. Such a newspaper Is
The Washington Herald. Its
circulation combines both quail
ity and quantity. l. goes into
the homes; into the hands Of
people who take It on its merits
as a newspaper, and not because
of some prize that goes along
with it: who read it through
and through on account Of the
good things il contains. who
approve it and welcome it to
the family circle because it IS
bright and clean and whole
some.
No other newspaper IN the
country has a more discrimi-
mating clientele; none ever Sc
cured a stronger hold upon Its
readers, even after long years
of effort
These facts emphasize the su-
periority Of The Washington
Heraldas an advertisingmedium
and explain why its business
patronage is growing week by
week. 1t is giving results.
Every patron will tell you so.
1t would not ask or accept ad-
vertising If il could not give
