RELIABILITY
is a quality some newspapers have lost sight of in these
days of "yellow” journalism. They care little for truth
and a great deal for temporary sensation.
It is not so with THE CHICAGO RECORD.
The success of THE RECORD rests upon its reliability.
It prints the news—all the news—and tells the truth
1 about it.
t *
It is the only American newspaper outside New York city
that has its own exclusive dispatch boat service and its
own staff correspondents and artists at the front in both
hemispheres.
It is the best illustrated daily newspaper in the world.
Its war news service is unapproachably the best.
Says the Urbana (111.) Daily Courier:
“We read the war news in the other papers,
then we turn to THE CHICAGO RECORD to
see how much of it is true.”
Sold by newsdealers everywhere and subscriptions received
j *• by a» postmasters. Address THE CHICAGO RECORD, U*
Madie— street, CbUato.
