OPINIONS OF ADVERTISERS. 
Boston. Dec. 10. 1863. 
Our experience in advertising In The Weekly Tribune, 
lias satistactorilv proved to us that It Is one of the best me- 
diums for adveVti^ins: in the country, W'e have often re- 
ceived what we know to be direct returns for it, and are 
only surprised that more do not avail tlierasclvea of your 
wide circulation. Yours verv truly, 
WALKfil^^ WISE & CO., 
Publishers and Booksellers. 
New- York, Dec. II. 1863. 
Several years of quite constant use of the Dock adveriis- 
Id-- columns of The Tribune has satlsQed me that through 
ntTother paper can a larger class of Intelligent buyers be 
addressed. 
I have also found The Wkeklt, notwithstanding the ap- 
parent high rates charged for space, a most economical, as 
well a« sure, means for reaching large numbers of energetic 
men, and securing their services as agents. 
N MILLEK, Publisher of Subscription Books,

Boston. Dec. 9. 1863. 
We consider The 'Weeklt Tribune one of the best me- 
diums for advertising our publications. Notwithstanding its 
seemingly high charges, Ita very large circulation renders It 
one of the cheapest and best means bv which to reach the 
public. OLIVEi: DITSON & CO.

lam disposed to speak in the most emphatic term^ in ref- 
erence to mv appreciation of both The Daily and weekly 
TErauNK. espeeiallv The Weekly, as an advertising medi- 
um, receiving, as I do. a large number of letters each day, 
sometimes amounting to three or four hundred. I find a 
large proportion of them reler directly to Ins Tribune, 
notwithstanding my advertising embraces all the leading 
papers in the countrj-. I cannot, tlierefore. do otherwise 
than attribute the increase of my business in a large desree 
to the publicity secured through your valuable paper.

THE PROFIT OF ADVERTISING— A BUSINESS MAN'S 
EXPERIENCE. 
We found the following letter from Mr. A. Morton, in 
The New-York Tribune, a few days since. Mr, Morton, 
as is well known, is the manufactuier of the celebrated Gold 
Pens advertised in our columns. He Is one of the most ex- 
tensive and Indlcious advertisers In the country, and we 
would respectfullv commend his Ideas on that subject to our 
business men. We do this in recogniuon of the value of 
The New-Yokk Tribune ns an advertising medium, and 
only add that we have reason to believe that In proportion 
to the expense required, an equallv profitable result has been 
secured from his advertising in The Express. We give the 
letter as it appeared in Tn^TniiiVSP.,— [Roc fietUr Express. 
Mr Gbeelet— Jf// Dmr Sir : You have done a great 
deil of work for me in the way of advertising, for which you 
have been paid so far as accounts current are concerned. 
But I owe you another obligation, which dollars and cents 
will not pay. Through vour advice, and yonis alone. I waa 
led to advertise. For ten or eleven years I had carried on a 
fair business without advertising, and no man in my emoloy 
was ever out of work, except as a matter of favor to lilm. 
until the commencement of the present hard times. On the 
verv day of the first call of the President for Volunteers, 
bavmg a large stock of goods on hand, I stopped mv manu- 
factory and remained Idle for nine months. I tiled adver- 
tising, at first in a small wav. I found that paid. At the end 
of three months I incrciisedthe amount more than ten times, 
using a great manv papers, manv of them pretty liberally, 
and for the last five"months have advert'sed more extensive- 
ly than, perhaps, anv other concern In the country. My men 
are again busllv at work on full time, although since r>ecein- 
ber lost I have changed my system of boslneas from six and 
eight montha* credit to net cash. I am cow maklns more 
goods, and selling more goods, than at any time since the 
panic of 1S57. 
For all this. I am greatly voar debtor, and I wish to say to 
you. and through you to all' interested, that I now know that 
adverti^ilng pays. I have also learned that advertisins very 
largely brings a much larger per contage of return than aa- 
vertismg in the usual wav.^ Permit me also, in justice to you, 
to say that in my estimation The New- York Weekly Tri- 
bune is the best advertising medium on this continent, and 
although the amount I have expended in other papers has 
been vastly greater than that expended In The Weekly 
Tribune, yet were I compelled to choose between this and 
all other papers In which I have advertised tocether. I would 
prefer The weeklv Tribune, as I flrmlv believe that my 
returns from it have been greater than from them all. 
I think, therefore, that anyone bavin? a good article which 
he can sell cheap, and which is or ought to be in nnivevsal 
demand, who will fairly try The New- York Tribune, will 
not be disappointed in "return, except agreeably. 
Very respectfully, your much Indebted. 
A. MORTON.
