Tho Best Family Newsaspsr

An ideal newspaper for the American
home must be habitually clean, high
minded, it must offer something oein-
terest to every member of the family,
and it must present daily the news of
the whole world in authentic and read
able form. A large contract, you will
say. Well, the newspaper that comes
nearest to filling it in the west is The
Chicago Record Herald. It's moral tone
is always high; its news service is un-
surpassed, and probably no other paper
in the United States has so brilliant an
array of special features suited to the
tastes and needs of every member of the
family.
Business and professional men have
long regarded The Record Herald as
the best paper for their own reading be-
cause of its unequalled facility for get
ting all the news of the world and put
ting it into the briefest possible form
for the busy man. They also esteem it
for the reliability of its financial agri-
cultural and market reports. Young
men perhaps find its greatest attraction
in the excellent sporting department
which fills four entire pages on Sunday
and page or more on other days
Wives and mothers emphatically prefer
The Record Herald on account of it's
well conducted feminine departments.
