The Thrice-a-Week Edition of The
New York World
In 1917
Practically a Daily at the paice of a
Weekly. No other newspaper In the
world gives so much at so low a price.
The value and need of a newspaper in
the household was never greater than
at the present time. The great war
in Europe is now half-way into Its third
year, and whether ¡a-ace be at hand
or yet be far off. it and the events to
follow it are sure to l«e of absorbing
interest for many a month to come.
These are world-shaking affairs, in
which the United States, willing or un
willing. is compelled to lake part. No
intelligent person can ign >rv such issues
The Thrice-s-Week World’s regular
subscription price is only $1.00 per
vear. and this pays for ISA papers.
We offer this unequalled newspaper
THE THRICE - A - WEEK WORLD
and THE SCIO TRIBUNE together
for one year for only $2 15.
