Notice to Advertisers.

By actual count, as delivered to subscribers by their respective car riers, the circulation of THE OASIS in Nogales exceeds that of the Vidette by more than double-the exact ratio being as 225 are to 100, in favor of THE OASIS.
 By weight at the post office and express office the outside circula- tiou of THE OASIS exceeds that of the Vidette in quadruple or quin- tuple ratio, THE OASIS paying postage upon sixty-five pounds of papers each week, while the Vi dette's postage bills do not exceed twenty pounds per week, besides which THE OASIS pays express charges on papers sent to many subscribers through that method of transportation.
 These are facts which advertisers wish to know in determining the
The oasis., 1902-01-04

value of any newspaper for ad- vertising purposes.
 While stating the above facts for advertisers it is also approp- riate to say for public information that THE OASIS pays three times as much money in taxes as does the Vidette, and that its pay roll is nearly or quite double that of it's contemporary. The promulgation of these facts has been rendered necessary by recent public occur ences.
