THE THRICE-A-WEEK EDITION
OF THE NEW YORK WORLD

Practically a Daily at the Price of
Weekly. No other Newspaper in
the world gives so much at so low a
price.
There has never been a time
when a newspaper was more need
ed in the household. The great war
in Europe has now entered it's
I'd year, with no promise of an end
for a long time. These are world
shaking events, in which the United
States, willing or unwilling, has
been compelled to take part. No
intelligent person can ignore such
issues.
The Presidential contest also will
soon be at hand. Already candi
dates for the nomination are in the
field, and the campaign, owing to
the extraordinary character of the
times, will be of supreme interest.
No other newspaper will inform
you with the promptness and
cheapness of the Thrice-a a Week
edition of the New York World.
THE THRICE = A = WEEK
WORLDS regular subscription
price is only $l00 per year, and
this pays for 1876 papers. We offer
this unequalled newspaper and

year for S1.75.
