A NEWSPAPER IS A HABIT
It is a good habit or a bad habit
according to whether it is a good
newspaper or a bad newspaper.
There is no question but what you
would like the Public Ledger if
you tried it. Trying it means
reading it for a month—two months
—longer. The Public Ledger is
the paper you ought to read as a
habit; a paper that you may be
proud of; one that aims to inform
you and amuse you, but only on
terms that enable you to respect it
and yourself. The price is 2 cents
for a number of reasons, chief of
which is that it is worth it.
