THE STORY OF “THE SUN”
CHAPTER I
SUNRISE AT 222 WILLIAM STREET
_Benjamin H. Day, with No Capital Except Youth and Courage,

of New York were six-cent journals whose reading-matter was adapted to
the politics of men, and whose only appeal to women was their size,
perfectly suited to deep pantry-shelves.
