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 Ieast possible expense, is a question that should 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 results use the paper with the largest circulation, and thegreatest amount of local news. Circulation is the proper basis upon whichpricesshould befixed. If a newspaper with a circulation of 2,000 charges $100 per year, then one with a circulation of 600 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.
