ONE OF THE TRICKS of some Of the sharp
Northern publishers Of magazines and period.
GALS, is to send editors Of newspapers copy OF
one number, asking for favorable notice,
and promising to furnish their publications
thereafter regularly. They often obtain the
notice-worth an advertisement to them-and
that is the last that is heard of them. This il
doing business on an economical SCALE las they
obtain all the beneft) on their part. Such
meanness deserves to be rebuked. For the
most part these periodicals are the yeriest trash
NOT worth the paper on which they are print
ed. We constantly receive them, Our edito
rial brethren should give them wide berth
IS they should, also, most of the advertising
agencies by which they have been swindled.
