“The Post” Leads as Usaal
It is a matter of general
that the Pittsburg Post leads all
contemporaries in the printing of the
news, and it has maintained its reup- |
tation in the past few weeks while the |
war clouds were gathering. The Pos |
not only publishes the best and most |
accurate reports, but gives them in the |
most logical and attractive style. |
In this respect as in all others, the
Post took the lead. Envious competi
tors have ridiculed the Post for its up-
to-date and original makeup, but one
by one they are dropping into the pro-
cession and imitating the Post in typo-
graphical appearance. The Post is
glad to see this, and will endeavor to
set a lively pace, as it al ways has done,
Not only has the Pittsburg Post led
in the publication of domestic news,
but it has all the news sources of Eu-
rope guarded by watch fal, trained cor-
respondents, The result is apparent.
Keep your eye on the ost when war
breaksout. It will continue to the
bigh standard already set up. All the
news all the time, carefully edited and
attractively printed. Ask your news
dealer for the daily Post, or subscrive
for it by mail, $3.00 per year; with 25-
page Sunday issue, $5.00. Address
