From the unlimited words of praise 
that have been bestowed upon it, the con¬ 
clusion is fixed that 
The Detroit Free Press 
Is the Most Popular Journal in Existence. 
Not that it has the greatest circulation— 
though for that matter few papers have a 
more extended one—but that the most 
profound affection for it exists among 
those who read and know its merits. 
Certain it is that no Journal 
contains so many attractive 
and original features. 
Enjoyable in the highest degree, its 
tone is the purest, its literary standard 
the most excellent. 
It combines to a surprising extent in 
its well-filled pages the grace, learning, 
wit, humor, versatility and genius of the 
American people. 
Unique among newspapers, sprightly 
and readable in every portion—it is edited 
with so much tact, intelligence and care, 
that readers of every class find it above 
all others the one that satisfies! 
Varied are its departments and its con¬ 
tents—the whole a most judicious com¬ 
bination. If one may liken intellectual 
to material things its field of 
Story, Poetry, Correspondence, 
Anecdote, Wit, Humor, 
Sentiment, History, 
Belles Lettres, 
knowledge in all its illimitable extent— 
may be compared to a well-ordered ban¬ 
quet. And around this superb feast in 
all its completeness bounteously laid with 
contributions from every clime, sits the 
blessed spirit of fraternity and good fel¬ 
lowship ! 
And then “The Household,” the 
bright, sympathetic and kindly “ House¬ 
hold I” No description should be offered 
of “The Household;” it is a feature 
original and unsurpassed, and none can 
fail to appreciate it. 
The Inter-Ocean has no Superior, 
Is one of the Cheapest morning papers 
in the country. It is a large quarto, 
seven columns to the page, price $10.00 
per year, postage paid.
