During 1854 The Star established another record
for advertising Image in The Nations Capital
The margin Of leadership was quite decisive The
Star finished the year III million lines ahead Of
Washington's second newspaper.
This vast preference for The Star showed up
among large and small advertisers alike.
Department stores placed more of their adver-
tising in The Star than in the two other news
papers combined. And you know how thoroughly
department stores check results from day to day.
Classified advertisers also ran more ads in The
Star than in the two other newspapers combined.
AS matter Of fact, they ran 700 more ads in
The Star than in the two other papers combined.
