A
SATURDAY EVENING MAIL Is
good medium of communication between Terre Haute buaiuess men and the opie who bay their goods—
Because, It b&s the largest circulation any paper •uDlistaed In thlscity. Bat not on this account alone, but—
Because, It goes into the family circle on Saturday evening, and dating Saturday night and Sunday Is read thoroughly, advertisements and all, by every member of the family who can read, after which it is loaned to the neighbors.
Because, After having been read by the borrowers and buj ers in the city, It is enveloped, stamped and sent to some friend 01 relative in some other town or city.
Because, It is a paper which reaches all classes, high and low, rich and poor.
Because, Of its very large circulation among farmers. Bt cause, It is an espacial favorite with the ladies, who do a large part of the buying of household goods, in addition to the jewelry and dress goods they wear, and are critical readers of advertisements.
Because, Two editions are published, Tburs day and Hatut day evenings, and all ad vertisements go both editions for price of one issue. Because, Its rates are cheaper, all things considered, than those of any other paper in the city.
