Newspapers Are
Essential Part of
Modern Life
By
HOLLAND.
VERYBODY reads papers
these days. Most per­
sons read two or three and
sometimes more. They are
as essential as breakfast, as
regular as supper. Whether
you ure Interested in polities,
baseball, the Chinese ques­
tion. the tariff, fashions or
cookery, you look to the pa­
pers for information.
And you get the Informa­
tion you seek along with
much other news, gossip,
fact, fancy and entertain­
ment The dny Is not com­
plete without the paper. You
start the day with a glance
at It, and you are likely to
lay It down to prepare for
slumber.
The paper that is so essen­
tial to you Is equally essen­
tial to your neighbor. He.
too, reads It and finds therein
the things be wants to know.
Its appeal Is universal. Its
circulation coextensive with
mankind.
That Is what makes the
newspaper the best advertis­
ing medium thnt civilization
has devised. It reaches ev­
erybody. or at least the frac­
tion that it does not reach Is
so small as to be negligible.
And even the few who may
not read the newspaper will
be guided by those who do,
so that an advertisement will
bring business from those
who never see it.
