Success Wins.

There is no disputing the truth of the fact conveyed by that celebrated proverb of Horace Greeley’s: “Nothing succeeds like success.” Mr. Greeley evidently intended to cqnvey the idea of the general inclination of the times to help “boom" any enterprise that was successful, while the undertaking that lagged and really needed aid and encouragement was left to shift for itself. A story paper, however, must have real merit before it will secure the patronage and support of the public. If it succeeds, it is conceded that it deserves success. It might be said that a story paper that deserves success will succeed, and its success is evidence of merit. The success of the Chicago Ledger is a flattering compliment to the management, and it is hoped that the support and confidence bestowed by an appreciative public may be continued and sacredly maintained. The Ledger is successfully succeeding and certainly has a bright future before it Persons desiring sample copies can secure thorn free by sending their names to the office.
