GUITARS MANDOLINS BANJO.S
Stand alone in point of Tone
Why? An American always wants to know why. Because more Washburns are sold than all competing makes put together, and you obtain fully double the intrinsic value. In short, if a Washburn were not made by the world's greatest musical manufactory it would cost you twice its present price.
BEAUTIFUL CATALOG FREE
Exclusive Washburn features are: New and perfectly balanced model; special process of seasoning all woods used; patent construction, securing great strength; fingerboards ab- solutely correct in all positions; inlaying all done by skilled workmen; patent heads far superior to ordinary heads; designs always in good taste; perfect system of ribbing; polish secured by thorough courses of hand-rubbing; every nut, screw and peg of the very highest quality.

AMERICAN TYPE FACES
"F ASHIONABLE STYLES OF RUGGED TYPE FACES" is the title of a pamphlet published by the American Type Founders Company which is a valuable piece of literature. It shows to advantage how effectively their recent face known as the Roycroft can be used in different ways. This face works up better with Colonial subjects than any we have yet seen. Their letter known as the Pynson Oldstyle Italic is also one that could be put to good service by the advertiser. The only way to fully appreciate the value of the faces above mentioned is to send for a copy of this pamphlet, and notice how at- tractively the " American " has worked them up. The style of comp- osition shown could also be studied to ad- vantage by the advertiser. The advertising de- partments can not get hold of too much literature on the subject of Type Faces, especially from a foundry that is continually producing new faces. An advertisement in the papers or general mag- azines set in a type face with distinctive characteristics is bound to catch the eye so accustomed to the general line of plain type faces that are still being more or less used. We hardly think that the value of a new face in an advertise- ment is fully appreciated by the average advertiser."-ADVER- TISING EXPERIENCE.

PREFACE.
THE CHICAGO CITY DIRECTORY for 1902 contains 625,500 names, an increase of 18,800 names over the preceding year. In making a comparative estimate of the present population of Chicago, a difficulty is at once presented by the fact that a computation based on the United States census of 1890 yields results differing enormously from computations based upon the census of 1900, in spite of the fact that identical arithmetical methods of computation are used in each instance, and should yield identical results unless one of those two censuses is radically incorrect.
The publishers do not make use of the ordinary and inexact multiple method of estimat- ing population, but utilize the ratio of directory names in a census year to the population, com- puted by the United States Census Bureau, as the first member of an arithmetical proportion from which the population in any given year may be determined after the number of names in the directory has been ascertained. The ratio being constant and the method uniform, the result should coincide with the figures of a new census-if that census is itself correct. The school eensus, the vote in presidential years, and our own estimate have invariably been in harmony.
Two years ago the Directory estimated the population of Chicago as approximately 2,010,000. Shortly afterwards the school census, which had been taken with unusual care (for the reason that comparison was to be made for the first time in ten years with the United States census), was independently announced as 2,007,000. The population announced by the Census Bureau was 1,698,575. Was this censns too small, or that of 1890 enormously too large ? All the evidence tends to show the former alternative is correct. The unsatisfactory methods used in taking the census, the blunders made elsewhere in 1900, (as in the neighboring city of Evanston where 1,126 persous were missed by the census-takers out of a total of 20,344), dem- onstrate that no credence can be placed on a census which is radically out of harmony with every other computation derived from any source whatsoever.
Computed upon the basis of the government census of 1890, the present population of Chicago is 2,144,000. To question these figures is to assume that an incredible number of fic- titious persons were added to that earlier census a proposition which seems by its absurdity to refute itself. An estimate based in the same manner upon the ratio of directory names in 1900, (584,000), to the population announced by the government in that year, would show a present population of 1,820,000. The publishers have brought to the solution of this problem the experience of years, a long familiarity with the work, an intimate knowledge of the field, a trained and tested staff. They have no hesitation in stating that the Chicago census of 1900 was a farce; that no computation based upon its figures can even approximate the truth, and that Chicago's population to-day is, in round numbers, 2,144, 000.
