cans we find the great art Publish
ing firm of Messrs. George .Stinsor
& Co. Portland, Name. During tn,
year 1879 they sold over two millior
more pictures than they ever sold be
ore in q single year, and the sale:
for 1880 thus far are much larger
than for the corresponding period in
1879. 1t is believed that they pay
more for postage stamps than any
other house, not only in this country,
but in the world at large; we will
give some OF the figures, which We
have direct from Alessrs. SlinsOn &
Co, and therefore know are correct.
During the year 1878 The amount of
money that they paid for postage
stamps was over fifty thousand dol
lars. During the year 1879 the am
ount that they paid for postage
stamps was ever eighty-seven thou
sand dollars. For ths fist eight
months OF 1850 the amount paId for
| postage stamps rises seTen,y-hYe
thousand dollars, and viii doubtless
90 considerably over one hundred
| thousand dollars for The year
While the amount paid for postage
Is simply enormous. must be Temem-
bered iR this connection. that only
the small orders go by mail, all large
orders being sent by express and
freight. From the above some idea
| of the magnitude of the business can
be formed Their trade extends, not
| only to the most remote parts of the
| United States and Dominion Of Can
ada, but all over the ciliZed world.
Messrs. Stinson & Co. are Eot behind
The times in understanding the great
power OF the judiciOus use of print
ers' ink, and in this connection We
wish 10 state that during the last ten
years they have spent for De"spaier
advertising over t.O hundred and |
fifty thousand dollars Enterprise, |
indu5tIy, and good judgment will |
accomplish great things. and II the |
success of This great Art PubiiShing /
House we have a striking example OF /
that fact, and nov that they may, we
feel sure, fairly claim to stand ~ the
head Of The Art Publishing business
in this country. We have lat"!y re-
ceived four elegant steel engravingS,
