THOMAS HOLLOWAY, the great pill aud
ointment man in London, writes to the
Prairie Ners on the subject of advertising
He says:
DEAR SrR:-A correspondent of yours
has recommended your paper to me as an
advertising medium. lie mentioned the
circulation, but may have been mistaken in
the amount. VIII you kindly inform me
as to the circulation of your weekly. as l
wish to make contract with you for the
insertion Of my advertisement. | am un-
limited in my advertising; my list of papcis
Is now thirteen hundred, and pay in sd-
vance. Yours respectfully.
The which the editor of the -News, re-
spends.
VERY DEAR SIR:-The circulation Of the
Ne,cs, which has been increasing with un-
exampled rapidity for more than two years
now amounts to forty-three, though | am
bound in honor to say that two of my SUBJ
scribers being very precarious pay, shall
probably cut them off before this reaches
you, So that you are liberty to consider the
list reduced to forty-one. To this number
should be added seven gratis copies, sen:
to as many friends of mine at distance,
out Of compliment to their indefatigable
eXertions in procuring new subscribers
This number should be further augmented
by permanent exchange list of sixtyfve,
making in all constant weekly circulation
of one hundred and thirteen, besides an av-
erage of half dozen copies a week, which
are sent with religious scrupulosity to pest
masters and other distinguished individu-
ais in bcnighted parts of the world. i have
good reasons for estimating my reading
patronage at forty persons per copy.
You may safely calculate that the 5537
readers of my paper would consume, each,
so 90 worth of Your medicine particularly
the pills, for | can not promise you an ex-
tenslye sale of Your ointment in this re-
gion, cutaneous diseases being rare, as may
be inferred from the fact that the foreign
bonn population of Mississippi is only one
in sxtytwo of the aggregate. So You per-
ceive that shall be the means Of opening
a market to YOU for S55, $40 worth of the
invaluable remedies which have immorta-
Ees-ed your name, on which, afi er deduct
ing the cost of materials, boxes, etc, your
profit will be about eightyfive per cent, or
$47.O64 81. Upon this handsome in
crease of your profits, accruing through
my instrumentality, propose to charge
the moderate commission of one per cent.
or S473 62f If these terms do not sui.
YOU, come over BY the next steamer, and
we'll talk about it. If you are satisfied
with them, for the first quarterly install
meet of Sl17 Go, be so good as to pay for
me one years subscription to punch"
"Diogencs," and the Times" all Of which
are good papers and should.b be encouraged.
and send me balance in cuttings of the
London Particular Madeira grape vine
Subsequent installments may be sent, at
your option, in Bank of England notes. or
any sort of truck except your medicines.
Give my best respects to Queen Victoria.
the next time YOU see her; tell her she is a
lady whom | greatly esteem, and that Of
ten think with what satisfaction, while this
disastrous war is SO thinning The popula-
ton of her realms, she must reflect that
she at least, has done her duty in tie way
of keeping it up
Your obedient servant,
The EDIroR.
