among leading journalists as one of the most
popular and successful of special newspaper
advertising agents.
MIR. Richardson is q native of Vermont, and
like most New England boys who have made
their mark, WAS born on u farm. At the age OF
II he went to Davenport, Iowa. where he began
ON the space box" on the DcmOcrdt, mastered
every detail OF the printer IS art, and became tho
foreman of the establishment There being too
much energy I'm young Richardson, however, to
be wasted among type and ink pots. he was
transferred to the Counting Room. where his
ability was at once manifested in the increased
circulation of the paper. Observing that he
possessed peculiar qualities for business, and
especially an address that made him popular
among men, his uncle. Mr.. j. j. Richardson. who
by the way may be said to he the father OF tho
present system of soliciting advertisements,
sent him on business tours which extended from
Maine to California, and were made three or
four times n year. In this way he became ac-
quainted with the prominent business men and
advertisers of the country.
In lSs2 Mr. Richardson came to New York and
opened the eastern branch of the Western
Newspaper Union, then embracing ONLY four
States and consisting of four hundred news
papers Being elected its vice president and
eastern manager. he began to infuse into its
methods some of his own characteristic fire and
wtiin Ave years the company was handling
hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of ndver-
tisements, and furnishing ready print for
upwards of ll0) newspapers in the United
States.
In addition to the management of this extern
sive enterprise, Mr.. Richardson has represented
number of the leading Journals of America of
known circulation as their special agent, and
having thoroughly mastered this speciality, he
has abandoned the cooperative lists to devote
himself exclusively to It, which is more to his
taste. The papers of which he has been thus
the representative, have. without ex ception,
iiourished, as will any Others he may take hold
Of; for no man in this line of business enjoys
stronger popularity with advertisers agents
who control advertising. He is happily consti-
tuted for his avocaton A merry wight, full OF
vim. vigor and tirelessness: generous. prompt,
courteous. and ready-witted. he is the ideal Gen.
eral Special Advertising Agent. MIR. Richardson
has well deserved the genuine success he has
achieved. He is the best authority in the United
States on newspaper circulation, having made it
a study for Ii years, and his word is as good as
his bond.
