NEWSPAPER COMMENT UPON THE TO ADVERTISERS. All persons who contemplate making contracts with AMERICAN NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING AGENCY, newspapers for the insertion of advertisements should CONDUCTED BY GEO. P. ROWELL & CO., No. 41 PARK Row. NEW YORK. send 25 cts. to GEO. P. ROWELL & CO., 41 PARK ROW, N. Y., for their ONE HUNDRED PAGE PAMPHLET. containing lists of 3000 newspapers and estimates, showing the cost of advertising. It is indeed no surprise that their house is so prosperous, and that they are the leading advertising agents in the world. We would prefer, so far as we are concerned, to have a column or more of miscellanous advertisements from this firm, than to receive the same amount made up of one direct from each house on their list. The commission allowed is saved us by losses, as they pay every cent they contract for, and pay it promptly, and the keeping of one open account with such a firm is much pleasanter than with the thousand persons whom they send us advertisements for. Geo. P. Rowell & Co. do not "bore us" to take it out in trade. They do an honorable, legitimate business, on a business basis. They pay their bills when due, on presentation, if found correct. If publishers, having dealings with them, want anything in their line - and they supply everything from a spring bodkin to a cylinder press, types, inks and all, they fill their orders promptly, at manufactures' prices, and we can say that we have received the best newspaper and book ink ever furnished us and at a lower price than we ever bought for elsewhere. The Republican has had dealings with this house for over six years, and in all that time, we never have had any reason to complain of our treatment. Meriden (Conn.) Republican. BURLINGTON COLLEGE, N.

The publishers have a small number of Complete Sets of LITTELL'S LIVING AGE, which they offer at a large reduction from former prices. As the Sets cannot be reprinted, the last opportunity is now offered not only to procure them cheaply, but to procure them at all. The last number of the year 1872 completed the Fourth Series, and the One Hundred and Fifteenth Volume, from the beginning of the publication. The regular price of volumes has been, in numbers, two dollars per volume, or, bound in cloth, three dollars per volume. The publishers now offer the Complete Sets to the close of 1872, (115 volumes), as follows: In numbers, or sheets, ready for binding, at one-half the subscription price, viz: $1.00 per volume; or, bound in black cloth, gilt backs, at $1.75 per volume. A few surplus Sets of the First Series (36 volumes), remain, which will be sold separately, at the same rate, if desired. None of the Second, Third or Fourth Series can be sold separately, and the publishers can no longer supply any odd volumes, or numbers, published prior to January 1, 1870. A few of the sets of the First Series, only, are bound in red leather backs, cloth sides, which will be sold to those preferring them to the cloth bound sets, at the same rate per volume. With this exception, those desiring a leather, or half leather binding, should purchase the numbers and have them bound in such style as they may prefer. It is hardly necessary to say to those acquainted with the work, that the same amount of such valuable reading cannot otherwise be purchased with three times the money for which it is here offered; and while this reduction in price places Sets within the reach of individuals possessing or forming private libraries, the attention of those interested in State, City, Town, College or School Libraries, is particularly called to this last opportunity of supplying their shelves with a complete work which it is believed no library in the country can (under this offer) aoffrd to be without. When packing boxes are necessary in forwarding Sets, the cost of the boxes will be added to the bill. Address, LITTELL & GAY, 17 Bromfield St., Boston. |
