Secondly, it is read carefully, and then as carefully filed away for future refer- ence. Thirdly, the'wiaely varying char- a r»»r of its subscribers places it upon a "par with any publication catering only to so called' general reaedrs." For these very obvious reasons, it should not 'be be regarded as purely a class publication nor, in any sense, a trade journal. >t; A * If you want more business, bear in mind that Biiaboard Advertising is the best solicitor you can employ.
