Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1890-11-21

ing this as a criterion the business Of Brat
tleboro and It's vicinity has never been so
active and promising at the opening Of the
winters trade as now In no previous
year, at the corresponding time, have the
columns Of The Phwnix shown anything
like their present volume Of advertising
business A large per cent Of this increase
comes from new local advertisers while
foreign advertisers are using our columns
more freely than ever before. In no case
has this business been solicited 1t comes
because advertisers at home, and those from
abroad who depend on the services Of ex-
perienced agents, recognize that IL is
through The Phoenix that the buying class
ss in this section can most surely be reach
ed. Its circulation reaches and covers
every part Of Windham county and the
contiguous towns aud advertisers know
with assurance 10y whom and TO what ex-
teut their announcements will be read.
Another fact, more encouraging and salts
factory TO us than any other, is that the
growth in circulation Of The Phoenix during
the summer months has never been so
strong aud steady as this year.
A bill is now before the house Of repre-
sentatives TO incorporate the Vermont fish
