THE FIRST YEARS BUSINESS of The Rich
mond Virginian has surpassed that of any
other Virginia papers first year, considering the
quantity, space and character of the advertisers
who have used it.
Coming into the field among well established
and prosperous newspapers, it was specialized upon
by many as to where the business would come
from to The Virgnian. Those people did not
stop to think how Richmond was growing and
that Richmond was going to grow more rapidly.
The Richmond Virginian has printed
more than 100000 lines of advertising.
This is phenomenal.
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1911-01-28

The business has come because of the service
the paper has rendered to its patrons.
There has not been an advertisement printed
that could not be read aloud at the fireside
More than 42O active accounts have been es-
tablished.
The Richmond Virginian claims no
right to your business except upon the
merits of the service it can render.
Encouraged by the support given in its first
year, it looks to bright future, inviting the
opportunity to serve and to build permanent.
profitable and useful institution.
