A WONDERFUL OFFER.
Twice as Much for Your Money as
you get Elsewhere.
It is this : We will send you The SemiWeekly -
Weekly Journal from now until Jan. I , 1894 ,
for one dollar. Remember we give you two
papers each week Tuesdays and Fridays.
All the telegraphic news and markets twice a
week , making it almost as good as a daily.
This twice-a-week feature has
- - proven a
remarkable success the past year , The SemiWeekly -
Weekly Journal now having the largest circu
lation of any paper in the mid-west.
This big dollar's worth will carry you
through the great fall campaign , and all
through the next legislature. We reach you
with the news a half a week earlier than the
old fashioned weeklies. No use reading stale
news when you can get it fresh from the wires
at the same price. We have our own tele
graph wires , and correspondents all over the
country. It takes money to get news , and \ \ e
are spending it. We can afford it because
our circulation has quadrupled the past year.
We have a few or our great Stanley books
left. Will send paper to Jan. 1,1894 , and the
book prepaid for $140 , or if you send us your
own and another name with $2 , we will send
you the book free. This will be your last
chance to get this great book. We "give the
paper and our Oxford Bible for $2.75. We
give you the N. Y. Weekly Tribune a year
and the Journal to Jan. I , 1894. for $1.25.
