When To Send In Advertising " Copy." 



OU R advertisers would confer a g r eat favor upon the Publisher if, in 

 sending in " copy " for changes, they would endeavor to do so 

 as long as possible in advance of the date of publication — which 

 is the last day of the month. We do not desire to fix any arbitrary rule 

 as to the latest date in the month on which advertising copy will be ic- 

 ceived, for reasons may develop, just before the printing of the piper, 

 to make a change of advertisement desirable. At the same time, it will 

 add to the convenience of the business office if those who intend sending 

 in advertising '' copy " will consider, not the latest date on which it 

 can be handled, but the earliest date on which it can be furnished. 

 Time should be allowed for sending proofs to the advertiser. 



Oar Report on Rubber Planting. 



THE following letters, selected from the many that have been received 

 since the publication of the first of the series " Rubber Planting on the 

 Isthmus of Tehuantepec," will give a fair indication of the interest 

 which they have called forth among people who are practically interested 

 in rubber cultivation in Mexico : 



11. C. PEARSON, New York. — Dear Mr. Pearson: This office is in 

 fortunate receipt of May edition, your estimable publication in which ap- 

 pears your preface accounting Mexican trip. It is delightful, and only 

 a few moments since same was under discussion amongst us in this estab- 

 lishment, of which I trust you still have memories. You had better be- 

 lieve this review and exchange of remarks was full of approbation and 

 enjoyment to every one of us. While everything said is true to Mexi- 

 can life, I think you would be a success as a novelist as you are a scient- 

 ist. Most sincerely, a b LUTHER.

Min.uitlan, Vera Cruz, Mexico, May 15, 1903. 



Mr. Henry C. Pearson. — My dear Sir : I have read with interest the 



beginning of your article on your trip to the Isthmus, and will await the 



remainder with equal interest. I will hope to read your conclusions as to 



the rubber growing industry on the Isthmus in your later articles, and 



also that when you again visit the Isthmus, you will include in your 



itinerary " Rio Vista," and that you will find it pleasant enough to make 



the same your headquarters, for in the language of this man's land, 



" I ui tient UJ su casa," together with all the horses, boats, etc., that 



we possess. Yours very truly. k. h swii i i ,

HENRY C. Pe IRSON — Dear Sir: I am just in receipt of the May num- 

 ber of your Journal, and at once read your able article on your trip 

 through the rubber regions of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Your ar- 

 ticle is at once instructive and entertaining. Anyone who has ever been 

 over the road before, as in my instance, can appreciate the different ex- 

 periences such as you have depicted, probably better than one who is 

 entirely a " gringo." I shall look forward with much interest to the 

 forthcoming articles, as will everyone interested in tropical Mexico. 

 Coming as they do from a source outside of plantation interests, they 

 will carry with them much weight. When so much is being said both 

 pro and con, regarding rubber growing, it is particularly fortunate that 

 the real facts can be given from an unbiased and reliable point of view. 

 Very truly ycurs, joiin a. wilferth.

My Dear Mr. Pearson : I have just completed reading with a great 

 deal of interest and considerable amusement your very interesting 

 " First Letter" on your trip to Mexico. I shall certainly anxiously 

 await letter No. 2, and hope to have it in the June number. Your de- 

 scription of the difficulties and experiences generally encountered are 

 typically what I encountered myself on my first trip. I have been to 



Mexico many times since, but I have neither read nor seen anything that 

 has brought my first trip to mind so vividly as reading your article. I 

 would respectfully suggest that this be gotten out in book form - - - - If 

 it ever is, kindly see that I become possessed of a copy, and oblige, 



Yours very truly, WU. E. RYDER.
