IT PAYS LARGER RETURNS 
FOR 1872. 
TO ADVERTISE IN 
THE AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST 
Than in any other Paper 
This is the testimony of those who have tried it. 
Its circulation is many thousands larger than any other paper or number of 
papers in which advertisements would cost the same amount. (See Table below.) 
It is adapted to, and read by, the intelligent, thrifty, buying and paying 
classes among all callings, trades, and professions. 
It is the most exclusive as to the character of its advertisements. No patent 
medicines, lotteries, gift enterprises, or parties not believed to be reliable, are 
allowed to solicit the patronage of its readers. This gives confidence to the 
readers to order from those who are admitted. 
The following Table shows the wide circulation of the American Agricttl- 
turist. It is taken from our mail books, and includes only Post-offices from which 
our bona fide subscribers are receiving their papers. Many thousands in addition 
are supplied through the News Companies.

These fierures, which do not lie , show that the American Agriculturist is taken 
regularly at nearly Two-thirds of the Post-offices in the United States. It is 
also sent regularly to more than 800 Offices in Canada and other foreign places. 
To send a single circular , of the cheapest kind, to each of the above Post-offices, 
would cost more than a half page advertisement in the American Agriculturist. 
To send one to each reader of this paper, would cost more than ten times as much.
