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 question that should be considered very carefully by business men. A thousand small bills printed. in Tor- onto or London, •md distributed in this section, would be jut as elective 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 undoubtedly have been instant death. homes, newspaper advertising is the only successful way.
