WHERE 1000 BOOKSA DAY
ARE READ.

Unique in the world is q business
where 1000 printed volumes are read.
line by line. each day in the year. And
yet there is a concern in New York
where an enormous force is employed
to do just this.
A statistician has been at work and
has figured out this result. First he
took New York Sun ana found that
lit contained ten pages, with seven coll
umns on each page, and that each COL
umn contained about 1900 words. This
made seventy columns. counting ad.
vertisements. From this he found that
Ia single copy OF the paper contained
Approximately $4,000 words. This is
as many words as an ordinary book
contains. Now the concern spoken OF
is a press clipping bureau, and they.
read 1900 papers every day. OF course.
some OF these papers are smaller than
the Sun, but the 1900 would make at
least 1000 papers Of Sun size. So tho
statisticlan. going on with his figuring,
found that the force read In a single
day 9s,o0o.0o0 words, which is equal to
1000 volumes. or a pretty good sized
library. The statistlcian stopped fig
uring on words, and combining himself
to volumes. found that the force read
In the course of a,ssingle year what
would be equal to sos volumes.
OF course, this Is not done by all
Clipping bureaus, but tho. given figures
are based on the work OF the largest
bureau In the world, the Burrelle Press
Clipping Bureau, in New York City.
This marvellous reading is done not
only for individuals whose names get
In the papers but for every sort OF
business In the world. There Is abso-s
lptely no business that cannot be
aided by press clippings. Any person
with. hobby, any author who wants
to write book. any man who is to be
married. any man who wants his bus
mess increased, any man looking for
a missing relative, should drop a lets
ter addressed "Burrelle. New York.,
and find out what lie may n not know,
and that is that press clippings have
