The benefit derived irons an adver tisement depends altogether upon the number of persons who read it; '71.7..'s reach the greatest number of readers at, the least possible expense, is it 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 ahoist, that, but if yoa want to reach the peo le in their homes, newspaper adv ing is the only successful way.'4 the best results use the paper wit 1 largest circulation, and thegreates$ amount of local news. Circulation is the proper basis upon which prices should be fixed. If a newspaper with a circulation of 2,000 chargee $100 per year, then one With eiretdation of600 would be entitl- ed to $30. An advertiser should take these feats into careful consideration, when making contracte. Another fre- quent loss to advertisers is in the use of several papers when one covers the ground. THE TIMES is read by more people in Exeter, Usborne, Stephen, Has-, the northern part of Biddulph and 'McGillivray than ell other county papers combined, and an advertise- ment placed in it .1‘ ill be found the most effeetual way in which to reach the people. • BIRTHS.
