The benefit derived from an adver tisement depends altogether upon the number of persons who read it. To reach the greatest number of readers at the least possible expense, is a question that ehonld be considered very carefully by business men. A thousand small bills printed in Tor- onto or London, and. •distributed in this section, would be just as effective as if the bill had. been printed in town. There is not a doubt about that, but if you want to reach the people in their homes, newspaper advertising is the only successful way. To get the best. resents use the paper with the largest circulation, and thegreatest amottntof • local news. Circulation is the peeper basis upon which prices should be fixed. Tf it newspaper with it circulation of 2,000 charges $100 per year, then one withacirculation of600 would be entitl- ed to $30. , An advertiser should take these facts into careful consideration, when making contracts. Another fre- quent loss to advertisers is in the use of several papers when one covers the ground. Tim MATES is read. by more people in Exeter, Ushorne, Stephen, Hey, the northern part of Biddulph and McGillivray than ell other county papers combined, and an advertise- ment placed in it n ill be found the most effectua ey in which to reach the people.
