Among the very valuable periodicals
which every business man needs is the
Home Market Bulletin, published in Bos-
ton. It is an organ of protection, truth
full and fair and right to the point. 1t
ought to be widely circulated in Vermont
from the fact that it is edited by Col.
Albert Clark, for long time one of the
very best, if not the best editor in this
state. We are able to supply our readers
with it for only rs cents year.
Among the best and most popular
ladies' magazines among our readers, as
indeed it is in the world, is the LADIES'
Home Journal. 1t has one of the best and
most popular corps of writers of any

and well illustrated. Every woman who
