Saturday Edition of Six-Day Paper Is Read Most Thoroughly The readers of The Spokane Tress buy and pay for the paper for the sole purpose of reading it. They do not take it to get a premium, or prize or to help some friend get a premium or prize. This paper does not use and never has used premiums or schemes of any sort to induce people to become sub scribers. The reason that the people take and read The Press is simply because this paper contains certain things and cer tain kinds of reading matter gotten up and handled in a way that they cannot get in any other Spokane paper. They buy The Press because they like to read it and for no other reason. Therefore they do read it every issue, and they read it carefully and thoroughly. They have the most time to read the Saturday edition. Therefore they read the Saturday edition the most carefully and thoroughly. The advertiser who uses The Press and does not take advantage of the Saturday edition to get before its ers is certainly missing something good. The mercha/. certainly wouldn't think of closing his store one day a week besides Sunday, therefore why should he miss getting before the readers of the papers one day a week. If he does he is is just wasting that much opportunity to get business. Use the Saturday paper and use it strong, Mr. Adver tised. You will be surprised at the good results you will get from it. Don't forget that on that day you can get closer attention of the readers than probably any other day of the week. TKe Art Bar 8 Howard Street, Between Riverside and Sprague.
