A JUsT APPRECIATION or TEE VALUE OF THE
COUNTRY PREss.-FEe following testimonial
rom J. B. Dl5more, Esq, of New York, will be
ead with interest, as based upon a varied ex-
lerienee in advertising:
Only opinion of the relative value of city
i'd country newspapers as advertising me-
ums, is decidedly in favor of the country pa
srs, price ard circulation being equal.
81 should prefer to have my advertisement
lserted IL a country paper having 500 circu-
ltion rather than have it in 500 copies of a
ity daily paper. The country readers have
ever papers and more leisure, and consequent
y read their papers more thoroughly and take
,etter care of them, while daily paper after
icing glanced at is thought no more of than
asst years almanac. My opinion is based on
welve years study and experience in the bus
ness"
Messrs. Job Moses Son, of the same city,
are among the oldest advertisers in the I'm ted
States, and give their testimony as follows:
'Af er an experience of twenty-three years
as al advertiser in many newspapers, it is our
opinion that the same amount expended for a.
advertisement in large number of country
weekly papers pays much better than in a
small number Of city daily and weekly news
papers, a. G., the aggregate circulation being
the same Our reasons Tor this opinion are
that the country weekly is read thoroughly,
and to certain extent the matter IN the ad-
vertisement is belieUed almost as much as the
editorial articles, while the city dalies and
weeklies are not read thoroughly, and the adj
vertIsements are known to be advertisements,
and nothing more. Furthermore, the country
newspapers are generally preserved for future
reference, while the city newspapers once read
are seldom referred to afterward. And as re-
CARDS "Pstent Medicines (so-cailed) it is an
undoubted fact that the country people con-
sunle the greater portion Ofthose manufactur-
ed ="
