"A Of the different Southern States, and
through their corps of sub agents, are pre-
pared to supply the reading community
with any Newspaper or Magazine publish
ed in the United States.
Also with American and foreign Books.
School Apparatus and Scientific Cabinets.
This Agency was first established upon
principles reasonably supposed to be per-
manent. These were TO furnish opporlun-
ities for all TO make judicious selection Of
reading matter aud TO afford a safe and
convenient medium of payment for the
same.
These objects had been heretofore oh
sirucled, partly by the imperlection Of
agencies and the difficulties incidental to
our currency, and partly by the want Of
general information, particularly as II re-.
poets Newspaper publishing.
Ia the establishment of the S UTHERN
AGENCY, there was much 10 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, and to
advertise him for a swindler the first op-
poriuniy. The community had been De.
frauded by pretenders until their confidence
in any c4ass Of ageAls Vas much weakened.
The title adopted by this firm Of "The
Grand Southern Agency" placed them II 1
once in active collision with other agencies
which we're, almost without exception,
Northern establishments.
Add Q. these difficulties the general es-
timAle Of a Newspaper Agency, ihst ii was
Of itself an occupation uf some discredit, /
and the reader will perceive the amount
Of time, labor and means required 20 eslnb-
lish h upon a secure, successful and honor |
able basis. Within less than two years
The object has been attained.
llis claimed that this Agency is of gen
eral utility fer the following reasons:
!. We give to ererg pers0a the choice
from every description Of useful Magazine
1r Newspaper reading. IN this day Of
periodical success il is a two-iold waste to
DO confined 10 nm inferior paper; yet, be.
fore this Agency was established, but few
Df our interior settlements had any appre.
citation Of the amount and value Of modern
Newspaper literature, and even now, many
Df the Post Office lists are confined 90 large
clubs Of two or three ihrashy newspapers.
One proof that a change for the beiier has
been already accomplished, is seen ia the
fact that nearly every Post Office has
doubled It's list under the operations Of this
General Agency, aud IN some cases the
ratio Of increase is fiye-fold. There should
be a further increase Of ~one-fourth Of a
nillio0 dollars 10 place Us on even ground
with the older States.
