through their corps of sub agents, are pre-
pared to supply The reading community
With any Newspaper or Magazine publish
IN the United States.
Also with American and foreign Books
ShooI Apparatus and Scientific Cabinets
lhiI Agency was first esta blished upon
principles reasonably supposed to be per
'nanent. These were TO furnish opporlun
nes for all TO make judicious selection o
reading matter, and to afford a safe ant
convenient medium of payment for III,
same.
These objects had been heretofore OBJ
structed, partly by the imperfecIion o
agencies and the difficulties incidental t.
our currency, and partly by the want o
general information, particularly as il res
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
cd settled disposition on their part TO CON
slder every applicant with suspicion, and to
advertise him for a swindIer The first OPP
portunity. The community had been de.
frauded by preenders until their confidence
III 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.
timlte of a Newspaper Agency, that it was
Of itself an occupation of some discredit,
and The reader will perceive the amount
OF time, labor and means required to estab-
lisb it upon secure, successful and honor
Sbe basis. Within less than two years
the object has been attained.
Il is claimed that this Agency is of gen.
eraI utility fer the following reasons:
]. We give TO euery person the choice
from every description of useful Magazine
or Newspaper reading. In this day Of
periodical success it is a twO-fold waste TO
be confined to an inferior paper; yet, be-
fore this Agency was established, but few !
Of our interior settlements had any appre- I
citation of the amount and value of modern
Newspaper literature, and even now, many
OF the Post Office lists are confined TO large
clubs of two or three thrashy newspapers.
One proof that change for the better has
been already accomplished, is seen 10 the
act that nearly every Post 0fice has
doubled its list under The operations of this
General Agency, and in some cases The
ratio Of increase is fve-fGId. There should
be a further increase of "one fourth of a
million dollars" TO place US on even ground
= ilh The older States.
2. This Agencyn secures 10 everysub>
criber the safe Transmission Of his funds,
nd offers in all cases this general guaran-
ee, to fill he order or return The money.
j hose whO have been repeatedly deGaud-
ID by pretended agents can best appreciate
business which is based upon sound bBSi-
ess principles II is not pretended that
his agency is infallible, or that mistakes
annOt happen, but that the order shall be :
lied or the money returned.
3. There is a sub-agency at every Post
)fice in the State, furnished with printed
Instructions and perfect facilities for carry
lg on the business on the principles Of this
eneral agency. Each sub-agent operates
trough The hands and by the authority Of
he general agents. This, at once, places 4
i The advantages that were originally !,
ought for, within the reach Of every
ersOn.
4. The Southern Agency engages TO
rOcure and deliver, at any point in the {
tate, any American or Foreign Books, at
n advance on Eastern retail prices Of less
ian zen per cent. This Unprecedented :
Ter will Ilmerit liberal patronage, especial
I when IL Is considered how exorbiiani
Re the New Orleans book rates, and what o
ficulties our professional gentlemen and u
neral readers have suffered 10 filing o
cir libraries.
5. Il is proposed TO those who have {
,oks, Pamphlets, or Music 90 be bound,
al the Travelling Agents Of this General
gency win receive them, forward them to u
Q bindery, and return them to the owners. Z
ther objects might be detailed, such as
occurring Scientific collections for Colleges
I'd Schools; furnishing sels Of School ap
Iraius; supplying the various affiliated
eieiies with Regalia and Books; procu- U
ng information for Teachers and profes-
Onal gentlemen, and collecting acconRis
all kinds. But enough has been said 10 A
