Book for Advertisers. 



Geo. P. Rowell & Co., of New York, publishers 

 of the American Newspaper Directors and of 

 Printers' Ink, a journal for advertisers— the 

 oldest and best known of all the advertising 

 agencies— conduct their business in such a way 

 as to make it a material benefit to Ijoth adver 

 ti.er and newspaper publisher. 



They furnish plan- for an advertiser and prepare 

 his advertisement, b'or their services— designing 

 his advertisement and preparing his estimate— 

 they make a sufficient charge to pay for the requir- 

 ed service of i ersons competent to do the work 

 well. They tell the advertiser what papers he 

 should use and what the priee will be. _ If the 

 advertiser wishes them t < > place tne advertisement 

 iu the papers, they do as he directs, and for that 

 service the newspapers pay them. If the adver- 

 tiser wishes to place his advertising through some 

 other advertising agency, or feo contract with the 

 publishers, he is at liberty to do so. and the esti 

 mate furnished by Messrs. Howell A: Co. .Serves as 

 a guide. It tells him where he is securing a bar- 

 gain ami where he is paying more than he ought. 



Every one who is in need ot information on the 

 subject of advertising will do well to obtain a copy 

 of (Jeo. P. Howell & Co.'s " Hook for Advertisers," 

 368 pages, price one dollar. It is mailed, postage 

 paid, on receipt of price, and contains a careful 

 compilation front the American New -paper Direct- 

 ory of all the best papers in the United .States and 

 Canada. It gives the circulation rating of every 

 one and a good deal of information about rates and 

 other matters pertaining to the business of adver- 

 tising. 



Whoever has made himself acquainted with what 

 may be learned from this book will admit that 

 from its pages one may gather pretty much all the 

 information that is needed to perfect an intelligent 

 pian of advertising. It is not a complete news- 

 paper directory. It is much better; for although 

 it names barely one-third of the newspapers pub- 

 lished, ir docs enumerate every one of the best 

 and all that a genera) advertiser is likely to have 

 occassion to use 



Among the papers named in it The American 

 Bee-Keeper occupies the position to which its 

 merits entitle it. 



We are in receipt of an announce- 

 ment from Win, F, Clarke, Guelph, 

 Canada, that on May 20th he institut- 

 ed at that place the Ontario Bee- 

 Keeper's College. We have not learn- 

 ed what success he attained, but we 

 hope he has had a generous support.
