This Agency was first established upon
principles reasonably supposed 70 be per-
manent. These we're @ furnish epp0Ftun-
lite for all 10 make jndicious selection of
reading matter, and 10 afford a safe and
convenient medium of payment for the
same.
These objects had been heretofore OBJ
strucled, partly by the imperfeciion Of
agencies and the difficulties incidental to
our currency, and partly by the want Of
general information, particularly as il re-.
poets Newspaper publishing.
In the. establishment Of the SOUTHERN
AGENCY, there was much TO contend with.
Newspaper publishers had been so often
deceived by their agents that there seem-
ed a settled disposition on their part TO con-
slider every applicant with suspicion, aud TO
advertise him for swindIer the first OPP
portunity. The community had been de-
lrauded by pretenders until their confidence
in any class of agents was much weakened,
The title adopted by this firm Of "The
Grand Southern Agency" placed them at
once in active collision with other agencies
which were, almost without exception,
Northern establishments.
Add TO these difficulties the general es-
innate Of Newspaper Agency, that il was
of itself an occupation Of some discredit,
and the reader will perceive the amount
Of time, labor and means required TO estab-
Iish il upon a secure, successful and honor
able basis. Within less than two years
the object has been attained.
II is claimed that this Agency is Of gen.
eral utility for the following reasons;
l. We give TO ersry person the choice
from every description OF useful Magazine
or Newspaper reading. Ia this day Of
periodicalsuRcess il is a two-fold waste 70
be confined W an inferio. paper; yet, be-
fore this Agency was established, but few
Of our interior settlements had any appre.
ciaiion of the amount and value Of modern
Newspaper literature, and even now, many
OF the Post Office lists are confined 10 large
clubs Of Two or three thrashy newspapers.
One proof that a change for the better has
been already accomplished, is seen in the
fact that nearly every Post Office has
doubled its list under the operations Of this
General Agency, and in some cases the
ratio Of increase is fiye-fold. There should
be n further increase Of 'one-foufth Of n
million dollars" 20 place Us on even ground
with the older Stntes.

Those who have been repeatedly defraud-
ed by pretended agents can best appreciate

ness principles. Il is not pretended that
this agency is infaIlible, or that mistakes
cannot happen, but that uic order shall BE-

3. There is a sub-agency az every Post
Office in the State, furnished with printed
instructions and perfect facilities FOR carry
ing on the business on the principles ofihis
general agency. Each sub-agent operates
through the hands aud by the authority Of
the general agents. This, at once, places
all the advantages that were originally
sought for, within the reach Of every
person.
A. The Southern Agency engages 10
procure aud deliver a; any point in tho
State, any American or Foreign Books, AZ
an advance on Eastern retail prices Of less
than ten per ceRl. This unprecedented
offer will merit liberal patronage, especial
~ when il is considered how cxofbiiaut
are the New Orleans book rates, and what
difficulties our professional gentlemen and
general readers have suffered ia filing
their libraries.
5. Il is proposed 10 those who have

that the Travelling Agents Of this General
Agency viii receive them, forward them 10

Other objects might be detailed, such as
procuring Scientific collections for Colleges
and Schools; furnishing sets Of School uP-
paraius; supplying the various affiliated
societies with Regalia and Books; procur-
ing information for Teachers and pro(es-
si0nal gentlemen, and collecting accounts
