THE 
NEW-YORK TRIBUNE 
AS AN 
AI> VEIfi'JL'laSOi« MEDIUM. 
The total circulation oi’ THE TRIBUNE is now 301,000 
copies, and is divided as follows. The list is as nearly exact 
as possible, in view of the fact that a large proportion of our 
editions is disposed of through news-dealers, and we are 
obliged to rely, in part, upon their statements as to where 
their sales are distributed :

The circulation of THE TRIBUNE is far larger than that 
of any other , newspaper, and is distributed over a larger 
territory. Advertisements inserted in ,'eacli ol our editions 
will reach 301,000 actual subscribers, and as eacii paper is 
read by live persons on an average, every advertisement is 
placed before 1,500,001 readers. By no other mode can busi¬ 
ness men roach so many first-class customers, for THE TRI¬ 
BUNE circulates among tlie most enterprising, intelligent, 
and wealthy classes. For $25 an advertisement of ten lines 
is placed before 300.000 heads of families in every State and 
Territory, as well as in foreign countries. For $730 an entire 
column of THE TRIBUNE is at the disposal oi advertisers, 
while the cost of sending 300,000 circulars oi the smallest 
dimensions would be over $7,000. This illustrates the cheap¬ 
ness of advertising in THE TRIBUNE. 
Merchants, Manufacturers, Inventors, Real EstateOwners, 
those wanting Farms, Implement Manufacturers, Seedsmen, 
Dealers in Plants, Dealers in Stock, Bankers, School-Teach¬ 
ers, and all others who desire to secure patrons and custom¬ 
ers in New-York City, as well as in all parts ot the country, 
will liud it to their own manliest and great advantage to ad¬ 
vertise in THE TRIBUNE as a portion of their regular le¬ 
gitimate expenses. But comparatively few of our American 
manufacturers have learned the benefits of advertising their 
goods and wares, while importers, and those who sell import¬ 
ed goods, reap rich returns from their investments in adver¬ 
tising. Our manufacturers fully understand the principles 
of protecting American industry, but they must learn the 
advantages of letting the American people know why 
American goods should have the preterence, and where they 
can he bought. 
We would especially dwell on the fact that the subscribers 
for the three editions of THE TRIBUNE, Daily, Semi-Week¬ 
ly, and Weekly, comprise individuals in every profession or 
business: consequently advertisements ill each disseminate 
among all classes. 
Persons having real estate for sale or to let, and those de¬ 
sirous of purchasing or renting such property, will find THE 
TRIBUNE especially valuable as an advertising medium. 
THE TRIBUNE devotes especial attention to the reports 
of sales of real estate, both in the city and country, thus 
adding greatly to the value of its columns to advertisers. 
The advertisements should be made as briet as will allow oi 
the advantages offered being made clear to the reader. 
and Mechanics of the country—and is carefully read by then- 
wives, sons and daughters. It is sale to say that each adver¬ 
tisement in it is read every week hv not less than three- 
quarters of a million of the most intelligent of the people, 
lie who makes his business, his merchandise, or his manu¬ 
factures known to tills immense number, scattered all over 
the country, cannot fail to do so to his immediate or ulti¬ 
mate profit. 
Notwithstanding the large size of THE WEEKLY TRI¬ 
BUNE, the pressure of news is so great that we are com¬ 
pelled to allow but a small space for advertisements. This 
is a manifest advantage to all whose notices appear, as they 
are conspicuous, and mostly read with as much interest as 
tlie news. 
That THE TRIBUNE is the mogt economical medium for 
advertising is well known, and conclusively proved by those 
whose advertisements frequently or continuously appear in 
its columns. 
Tlie great advantage that must accrue to any one who 
takes this method of making known his wants, ids merchan¬ 
dise or manufactures, it is very easy to understand, hut can 
hardly be over-estimated. 
Every person having a farm for sale should advertise in 
THE TRIBUNE. Make the advertisement ns short as possi¬ 
ble, stating tlie advantages offered. Farmers wishing to 
purchase farms can always find chances by inserting a short 
advertisement in THE WEEKLY'TRIBUNE. 
Agricultural Implement Manufacturers and Seedsmen find 
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE especially valuable as an adver¬ 
tising medium, circulating, as it does, mainly among the 
better farmers in all parts of the country, in every State and 
Territory.

very large in all the Eastern cities aud villages and through¬ 
out the country. It is believed that in no other Newspaper 
will advertisers reach so many first-class customers.

serted in each will reach all classes.

Tke Weekly Tribune. 
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE has a circulation larger than 
that of any other Newspaper, and a large proportion of its 
subscribers take no other journal. The space in this sheet 
allotted to advertisements is necessarily limited, so that 
each has the advantage ot being easily seen, and all are gen¬ 
erally read with as much interest as news matter. There is— 
as those who have tried it know—no advertising medium in 
the country so cheap, because there is none so profitable, to 
the advertiser. The paper circulates among the industrial 
and thrifty classes—the Farmers, Manufacturers, Merchants 
written.
