Nearly Sixty Years Of Service

Years are the test-fres of the modern newspaper.
Is one generation enough to the solidty of to-
days popularity? What will the boys and girls of
today think of the popularity of the popular"
newspaper tomorrow? When newspaper passes
through the test-freS of nearly three score years
of service, and continues to hold its place for
character and reliability it is pretty good indi-
cation that those who direct its deStneS have the
right vision.
Nearly sixty years of service to the people of Della
ware and the territory it covers has enabled Every
Evening to maintain its place as the leading news
paper in all those essentials which really go to make
a newspaper worth while readers and adver-
Users alike.
With enlarged local staff, with the full As8ocia-
ted Press wire service and numerous special and
exclusive features Every Evening is now able to
cover the field more thoroughly than ever before
and give the people of the territory it bet
ter and more complete newspaper.
How interesting Every Evening has come to be
may be seen from survey of its more important
features These are not features for one day only
but for every day, and compare favorably with
features of the larger metropolitan newspapers in
cities much larger than Wilmington.
The presidential campaign is now on. Every
Evening will give you every day the political hap
penings of both parties without color and without
bias. Every Evening is a NEWSPAPER
political organ.

Do you want to get grasp of the

arranged with Hugo A. Escobar, a

enable you to see if you are interested
in trying to acquire ability to study
and learn it. There is on suggestion
that one will get ability to speak or
read it in the three months or in any
stated period, but it is the view OF
Professor Escobar that students will
be able to measure their personal in
tereSt in the work with these lessons
as preliminary effort.
Professor Escobar has been resi-
