TO THE PUBLIC

_
enter ing upon
In •
a new year, we beg to tender our cus-
ternary acknowledgements to our friends and the pub-
lic for the very liberal support which we have received
(Luling the year which has just expired. Our best
thanks are due to those who hare favoured us with a
contiviance of their patronage as subscribers to the
LIVERPOOL STANDARD ; whilst we can•scatcely find
terms sufficiently expressive to signify our sense of
obligaton to those who have so liberally contributed
.towards eugmenti" our advertising business. Thanks
to our athertising friends in general, we have been
enabled to occupy a truly proud position among the
provincial newspapers. As the last returns fully
proved, there were only nine newspapers out of Lon
don which hai received credit for a greater number
Of advertisements, during, the first half year in 1837,
than the LIVERIpoL STANDARD.
We are happy to aware our friends that our circulation
continues to be on the increase.
Nothing shall be wvting on our part to render the
LIVERPOOL STANDARD still more deserving of that
patronage and supporiwhich it hcz hitherto received.
Our unremitted ec-vcrti`os shall in future be devoted
to this object.
The LIvERPDDL STANDARD lo the su presents peculiar claims'
ppo,:t Of the public as an advertising medium.
Its circulation is chiefly among the mercantile classes
and in privatefamilies, thus offering that advantage
.of which Advertisers are generally in. search—the
,most eligible mode of -communicating with the more
wealthy and respectable portions y* the. community.
-in conclusion we have great pleasure in wishing our
friends "a happy new year, and maw/ returns of the
season."
