THE circulation of the Mail is over 500 copies each issue. It is the only paper supported extensively by Patea settlers. A few copies of Wanganui papers come into this district; and another paper is believed to have attained a genuine circulation of half a dozen copies among country settlers, and its circulation is “ daily increasing !” When Patea Advertisers settle their bills, let them take the Mail as a standard of value, and pay according to the number of genuine subscribers to each paper. Thus, if the Mail charges 3s. an inch for advertising among 500 subscribers, and another paper charges 3s. an inch for advertising among say 100 subscribers (100 being much above the genuine number), let the Advertisers insist on paying according to value received. At that rate the amount due for the lesser circulation would be about 7 : jd. an inch, as compared with 3s. for the Mail. Why should Advertisers pay on any other principle than that of proportionate value received? Why should public bodies spend rates in. advertising on any other principle than that of proportionate value received ? Let the public see to this. Subscribers’ List open to inspection at the Mail office. Sham Newspapers. TO ascertain when a Subscribers’ List is genuine, ask to inspect it, make a note of a few names, and test the genuineness by applying to the parties. To ascertain when Advertisements arc genuine, cut them out and request an answer from the parties. We have applied the test to one sheet, and can recommend it as an amusing game of chance. When a newspaper is left daily, without any order, don’t pay for it. The thing is a new form of uncommercial impudence. WAVERLEY.— Copies of the MAIL can l>c hail at Mr Fookes’s office.
