THE circulation of the Mail is nearly 600 copies each issue. It is the only paper supported extensively by Patea settlers. 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 600' subscribers, and another papercharges 3s. an inch for advertising among less than 100 subscribers, let the Advertisers insist on paying according to value received. At that rate the amount, due for the lessercirculation would be about 6d. an inch, as compared with 3s. for the Mail. Why should Advertise) s 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 V. Let the public see. to this. , , Subscribers’ List open to inspection at the Mail office. Ball Programmes are Printed at the Mail Office, Patea, with neatness, taste, and promptness.
