TO ADVERTISERS. 
Merchants, Manufacturers, Inventors, Real Estate 
Owners, Schools, and all Others who Desire to Reach 
Customers in all parts op the Country, will find it 
to their Interest to Advertise in the New-York Tri¬ 
bune— The circulation of The Tribune is larger than that 
of any other Newspaper, and It Is read by the most enter¬ 
prising, thrifty, anil industrious classes. Advertisements in¬ 
serted in each of the editions of TnE Tribune, Daily, Semi- 
Weekly, and Weekly, will he read by nearly a million of 
people, and no investment pays a business man so well as the 
money he spends in judicious advertising. The investigation 
by the Mayor and Comptroller of the City resulted In nam¬ 
ing The Daily Tribune as being chosen as one of the two 
capers having the largest daily circulation, and its weekly 
edition is acknowledged to be far greater than that of any 
other Newspaper.

OPINIONS OF ADVERTISERS. 
Philadelphia, Dec. 9, 1863. 
I consider TnE Weekly Tribune the best advertising me¬ 
dium in the United States. I say tills alter years of experi¬ 
ence In advertising in most of the leading weeklies of the 
Uuion. It is not only the best, hut it Is, in the end, the cheap¬ 
est. GEORGE W. CHILDS. 
We concur in the above. 
A. S. BARNES & BURR, 
. Publishers, Booksellers, and Stationers, 
Nos. 51 and 53 John-st., New York. 
Boston, Dec. 18,1863. 
Our experience in advertising in The Weekly Tribune 
has satisfactorily proved to us that it is one of the best medi¬ 
ums for advertising in the country. We have often received 
what we know to be direct returns from it, and are only sur¬ 
prised that more do not avail themselves of your wide circu¬ 
lation. Yours very truly, WALKER, WISE & Co., 
Publishers and Booksellers. 
New-York, Dec. 11,1863. 
Several years of quite constant use of the book advertising 
columns of The Tribune has satisfied me that through no 
other paper can a larger class of intelligent buyers be ad¬ 
dressed. 1 have also found the Weekly, notwithstanding 
tlie apnarentliigh rates charged for space, a most economi¬ 
cal, a.-, well as sure means fi,r reaching large numbers of 
energetic men, and securing their services as agents. 
N. U. Si.'LLER, 
Publisher of Subscription Books, New-York. 
Boston, Dec. 9,1863. 
We consider TnE Weekly Trtbune one of the best me¬ 
diums for advertising our publications. Notwithstanding its 
seemingly high charges, its very large circulation renders it 
one ot the cheapest and best means bv which to reach the 
public. OLIVER DITSON & Co. 
The Profit of Advertising—A Business Man's Expe¬ 
rience.— Tiie Rochester Express says: “ We found the fol¬ 
lowing letter from Mr. A. Morton, in TnE New-York Tri¬ 
bune, a few days since. Mr. Morton, as is well known, is the 
manufacturer o'f the celebrated Gold Pens advertised in our 
columns. He is one of the most extensive and judicious ad¬ 
vertisers in the country, and we would respectfully commend 
his ideas on that subject to our business men. We do this in 
recognition of the value of The New-York Tribune as an 
advertising medium, and only add that we have reason to 
believe that in proportion to the expense required, an equal¬ 
ly profitable result lias been secured from his advertising in 
The Express. We give the letter as it appeared in TnE Tri¬ 
bune:" New-York, July 7, 1862. 
Mr. Greeley— My Dear Sir: You have done agreat deal 
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 your advice, and yours alone, I was 
led to advertise. For ten or eleven years I had carried on a 
fair business without advertising, and no man in my employ 
was ever out of work, except as a matter of favor to him, un¬ 
til the commencement of the present hard times. On the 
very day of the first call of the President for volunteers, hav¬ 
ing a large stock of goods on hand, I stopped my manufac¬ 
tory, and remained idle for nine months. 1 tried advertising 
at first, in a small way, I found that paid. At the end of 
three months I increased the amount more than ten times, 
usings great many papers, many of them pretty liberally; 
and for file last five months have advertised more extensive¬ 
ly than, perhaps, any other concern iu the country. My men 
arc a ,r ;un busily at work on fulltime, although since Decem¬ 
ber last, I have changed my system of business from six and 
eight months’ credit to net cash. I am now making more 
goods, and selling more goods, than at any time since the 
panic of 1857. 
For all this, I am greatly your debtor, and I wish to say to 
you, and through you, to all interested that I now know that 
advertising pays. I have also learned that advertising very 
largely brings a mucli larger per centage of return than ad¬ 
vertising in the usual way. Permit me also, iu 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 1 have expended in other papers has 
oeen vastly greater than that expended in The Weekly 
Tribvne, yet were I compelled to choose between this and 
all other papers in which I have advertised together,! would 
prefer The Weekly Tribune, as I firmly believe •that my 
returns from it have been greater tlian from them all. 
I think, therefore, that any one having a good article which 
he can sell cheap, and which is or ought to bo In universal 
demand, who will fairly try The N. Y. Tribune, will not be 
disappointed in return, except agreeably. 
Very respectfully, your much indebted 
A. MORTON.
