It is not "copy-righted," but is often copied and pirated, • In justice to the many large advertisers who cover this city, it is explained, that in conse- quence of the many favorable local conditions, ascertained after careful and repeated experiment, we find that the association rate of $1.50 for ordinary distributing is high for this city. Houses are easily accessible, door sills within reach of sidewalk, and in thousands of adjoining rows. Honest labor is plenty and not expensive, and as it requires 200,000 circulars to cover, we are able and willing to guarantee an ideal service for mmmm ©ne dollar per thousand.

We submit vouchers from dealers certifying to fact of distribution in their vicinity, and in all respects, we render an ideal, accurate, intelligent, systematic and practical servije in this department, such as will in- variably be found in matters under our management, from which it has grown to be the custom of large advertisers to say, "IT WILL BE ALL RIGHT IF PLATO DOES IT."
