The investigation hy the Mayor and Controller of the city

Boston", Dec. 10,1863. 
Our experience In advertising in Thb Weeio-y Tribune, 
has satiswctorily proved to us that it is one of the hest me* 
diums for advertising in the country. We have often re¬ 
ceived what we know to be direct returns for it, and are 
only surprised that more do not avail themselves of your 
wi/e circulation. Yours^^mgi ^ ^

New-Yokk, Dec. 11,1863. 
Several ye.ars of quite constant use of the book advertis¬ 
in'' columns of The Tkibune has satisfied me that through 
no”other paper can a larger class of intelligent buyers be 
addressed 
I have also found The Weekly, notwithstanding the ap- 
narent hlgli rates charged for space, a most economical, as 
well as sure, means for reaching large numbers ol energetic 
men, and securin'; their services as agents. . . „ ,

Boston, Dec. 9,1863. 
We consider The Weekly Tribune of the best me¬ 
diums for advertising our publications. .Notwithstandino iw 
seemingly high charges, its very large circulapon renders it 
one of the clieapest and best DITSON°&^CO 
public. 
EMPORIUM OF FASHIONS, ) 
No. 473 Broadway, New-York, Dec. 10, 1863. ) 
I am disposed to speak in the most cn^hatic terrw In reP 
erence to my appreciation of both The Daily and Weekly 
Tribune, especially The Weekly, as an 
um, receiving, as I do, a large number of letters each day, 
sometimes amounting to three or TnTn?rx’T? 
large proportion of them refer directly to T 
notwithstanding my advertising embraces 
papers in the country. I cannot, therefore, do otheiwise 
than attribute the increase of my business in a large degree 
to the publicity secured through your valuable paper. 
Respectfully yours. ^EMOREST. 
THE PROFIT OF ADVERTISING-A BUSINESS MAN'S 
EXPERIENCE. 
We found the following letter from Mr. A. Mobton, in 
The New-York Tribune, a few days siime. Mr. Morton, 
as is well known, is tlie manufacturer of the celebrated Gold 
Pens advertised In our columns. He is one of the most ex¬ 
tensive and judicious advertisers in the country, and we 
would respectfullv commend his ideas on that subject to our 
business men. We do this In recognition of tlie value of 
The New-York Tribune as an advertising medium, and

letter as it appeared in The Tribune.— Express. 
Mr Greeley — Mij Dear Sir : You have done a great 
deil of work for me in the way of advertising, for wliich 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 youia alone, I was 
led to advertise. For ten or eleven years 1 had earned 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, 
until the eommencemeiit of the present hard times. On the 
very day of the first call of the President for Volunteers, 
■ having a large stock of goods on hand, I stopped my m^anu- 
factory and remained idle for nine months. 1 tried adver¬ 
tising. at first in a amali way, I found that paid. At the end 
of three months I increased the amount njore than ten timp, 
using a great many papers, many of them pretty liberally, 
and for the last five months have advertised more extensive¬ 
ly than, perhaps, any other coneern in the country. My njen 
are a'>'ain busily at work on full time, 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 mors 
goods, and selling more goods, than at any time since the 
panic of 1837. 
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 Uiat 
advertising pays. I have also learned that advertising very 
largely brings a miicli larger per centiige of return than ad¬ 
vertising in the usual way. 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 tliis 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 Ip which I iiave advertised together, I would 
prefer The Weekly Tetbunk, as I firmly believe that my 
returns from it have lieen greater than from tliem all. 
I think, tlierefore, that any one having a good article wlilch 
he can sell cheap, and wliicli is or ought to lie in universal 
demand, wlio will fairly try The New-7'ork Tribune, will 
not be disappointed in return, except agreeably. 
Very respectfully, your much indelited, 
A. MORTON.
