Mr. Jos. M. WADE. é 
DEAR Sir: Your kind letter at hand; glad to hear from 
you. Put my adyertisement in for one month. ... I will 
do all I can to make your paper a welcome weekly visitor 
to this place. 
Respectfully yours, 
J. B. Town. 
Lock HAVEN, Pa. 
Mr. Jos. M. Wapz. 
Dear Sir: As to the weekly journal I hardly feel that 
my experience would warrant me in giving an opinion. It 
seems to me, however, that if it was illustrated and put at a 
price that all could subscribe, and not made too large, 
that it ought to pay. I agree with you that as advertising 
mediums the monthly journals are generally too slow. 
Yours sincerely, 
A. N. Ravs. 
Lock HAVEN, Pa., September 26th, 1873. 
Mr. Jos. M. WADE. 
DzEAR Sir: . . . I think your price for the journal, $2.50, 
not too high for an illustrated paper of its class. ... I 
like your idea on the advertising question (10 cents per 
line). One can describe his pets more accurately and yet at 
less cost than when giving a shorter advertisement. 
Better have more advertisers and make a little less, because 
the greater the number and variety of the advertisements, 
the more the circulation of the paper will be extended. 
Yours, &e., 
A. N. Rave. 
152pD STREET, N. Y. 
Mr. Jos. M. WADE. 
Dear Sir: I don't know what to say about your proposed 
weekly publication. I think it is very hazardous, but don’t 
want to discourage you. It takes a great deal of capital to 
keep such an affair afloat. All I can do is to subscribe for 
it myself, which 1 will do most cheerfully. Wishing you 
all success, I am, 
Very truly yours, 
Guo. C. ATHOLE. 
BALTIMORE, Mp., November 12th, 1873. 
Mr. Jos. M. WADE. 
Dear Str: Put me down as a subseriber to your paper, 
and I will get as many more here as possible; we want a 
paper, &c. . . . I will advertise too, at such times as seems 
best; will remit when you desire. 
Yours cordially, 
Cuas. D. PARKER.
