Each copy is read not only by the five people usually credited to the ordinary newspaper, but by twice or thrice that number in many instances, for many subscribers pass their papers on and on to the inmates of less fortunate homes. These publications are pre-eminently the home papers of newspaperdom. They are not superficially scanned while men travel in to business. and then left for the brakemen to gather up. They go directly into homes, and the reading of them is a duty as well as a pleasure. Hence their peculiar value to advertisers and their rank as moulders of opinion. STONE John C. Hancock & Co., N.

"The print was very good before, but it is so very satisfactory now that it will be an added pleasure to the reading of it, each week. I also appreciate the Boston Binder, and keep one ahead all the time. Before furnished them, you I had all the papers bound, but the Binder is much cheaper and as good for all practical purposes." *** * "I did not feel as though I could afford to take the IntelligenceR any longer," a friend writes from Chester county, "but I feel I cannot afford to do without it.” Certainly not. *** The offer of the combination, the INTELLIGENCER, ($2), Century Magazine, ($4), and Century Gallery of One Hundred Portraits, ($7.50), all for $7.50, will stand open a short time longer. It makes the Portraits very cheap indeed to any who take the INTELLIGENCER and also desire the Century. *** We make a good start, we think, with the subscription list of the Intelligencer for 1898. The receipt of new names from many directions is encouraging, and leads to the expectation that the circulation this year will exceed last and all previous years. We need not repeat that it is new names we especially desire, as well as renewals. *** Club-getters will please send us, as soon as they have them in hand, the new names they obtain, forwarding their full list later, when ready. We can supply back numbers to the first of the year inclusive, and prefer to do so. *** * The average circulation of FRIENDS' IntelligenCER for the year 1897 was 3,631 copies. The smallest edition printed was 3,550 copies. Young Friends' Association.
