' j ' "Always Reliable"— a newspaper that you can safely allow your boys and j gir s to I ead, for the lewd, the suggestive, the scandal mongering are not ■ there. It is clean, sane, complete and most thoroughly a newspaper. \ "Always Reliable" a vital point to remember when it comes to Woman's Pages. The Record was the first newspaper in this country to publish a 3 daily page devoted entirely to feminine interests, and so far, no other 3 newspaper has succeeded in equalling it from a practical standpoint. 9 These are just three points out of many that will appeal to those who pre- ni fer facts to fiction. gH Tell y&pr Newsdealer to serve it to you regularly \r notijy us and <we will attend to it for you. 3 THE PHILADELPHIA RECORD 1 RECORD BUILDING PHILADELPHIA l Enjoyable Recital Given by Students at Irving College MechanicSburg, Pa., March 27.
