in 1896 its gross annual income was
about 100000. II is now nearly 3d.
5000 and rapidly increasing. 1t has
over !, 900 people on the weekly pay
roll. The circulation OF 1.-THE Times
is now over 100000 every day IN the
week. and we confidently expect 100000
in a comparatively short time. And

asked Mr. McAneny TO join me in its
management and become an integral
part Of the organization.
