Ami vet, strange to say, right here in this great, busy north
west, in its busy metropolis Chicago, there has taken place the
creation and development of that most cumbrous, unserviceable,
time-destroying thing, the “ blanket -sheet ’ newspaper. V. ith the
blindness of very fatuity this monstrosity of journalism, this breeder
of mental dyspepsia, has steadfastly imposed its mountain of un
threshed straw to the demand of the people for the winnowed grain
of fact. It was out of the very incongruousness of such a condition
of things that The Daily News had its birth. People wanted the
Xews, all the news—but they demanded it apart from the over
powering mass of the trivial and inconsequential. It is because
The DAILY News satisfactorily meets that demand that its circula
tion is over “ a-million a-week,”
R. >l. Lawrence, Williamsviile, .11., says: “The ‘big daily’ is
too much for me. Not that a person is obliged to read every
thing printed in the ‘ blanket-sheets,' lint one having anything
else to do doesn't have time to hunt through the long-drawn
twaddle for a few grains of digestible food.'’
When to two such comprehensive elements of popularity THE DAILY NEWS
now adds a third in its unparalleled price reduction to One Cent a day, it offers a combination of
attractions at once unique and unapproachable by any other American newspaper, and one which
will surely multiply its friends throughout the Northwest by the thousands.
The Chicago Daily News is for sale by all newsdealers at One Cent per copy, or will be
mailed, postage paid, for $3.00 per year, or 25 cents per month. The farmer and mechanic can now
afford as well as the merchant and professional man to have his metropolitan daily.
