A SUIT FROM THE JOB LOT.

This young man is supposed to be happy.

He wanted a suit of clothes and was drawn

in by a free watch advertisement.

What a fit!

We hope the watch will keep good time.

We are not in the watch or chromo business, but when it comes to an elegant fit we are there.

For the best work and fullest value we cannot be surpassed by any house in the city.

has resulted in giving to Detroit the fine Art Museum with its endowment, which the people of the State have just begun to enjoy.

On the same day THE DETROIT JOURNAL sprang into being. The people of Michigan recognized the new comer as giving promise of the clean, bright, newsy paper which in due time it was to become. Like the vast majority of such enterprises, there were storms and vicissitudes attending its early years; but soon it came into the hands of those who were capable of realizing its possibilities; and it has steadily advanced until now, with its Associated and United Press dispatches, its able editorial and local staff, and its army of special correspondents, THE DETROIT JOURNAL ranks as the most influential and newsy paper in Michigan. It is a paper that prints all the news without attempting to be sensational. It does not make a practice of printing something one day which it has to take back the next day. THE JOURNAL is bright, newsy, clean, and to be relied on.

THE DETROIT JOURNAL management has always believed that the newsboys, those bright and enterprising circulators of the record of the world's doings, should have as much pleasure, of a

joyment and benefit, games and base ball exhibitions, and on two occasions the boys were allowed to sell tickets and put the entire proceeds in their pockets.

On one occasion THE JOURNAL had a special menagerie performance given for them, at which more than 1500 boys saw the animals free of charge. The success of this forenoon show was very great, and the boys were able to enjoy it without losing any of the time they devote to their business. In no plan that is for the benefit or the pleasure of the newsboys has THE JOURNAL been backward.
