SUBSCRIBERS’ COLUMN. We
are surprised that our subscribers do dot
more liberally patronize this depart
ment. The expense is trifling, and the
opportunity to dispose of various bits of
handiwork, second-hand articles, books,
etc., either by sale or exchange, is unsur
passed. Do not overlook its advantages.
MISSING PAPERS. The mails are
very uncertain, and many papers which
are started to subscribers never reach
them. If you miss a number don’t
censure the publisher, and don’t remain
silent, but report the loss to him and
another will be mailed. Persons who do
without the papers they have paid for, and
complain of the publisher, do injustice to
all concerned.
IMPORTANT. If “Subscription ex
pires with this issue” is printed here in red
ink, please remit for renewal at once. Don’t
wait for an agent to visit you. Unlike many
publishers, we do not send the paper until or
dered to stop it, but discontinue at expiration
of subscription. This is the only business
method which is just to both publisher
and subscriber. We are sure “Woman’s
Work” will be a blessing in your home,
Don’t let it stop. Be careful tc give name
as we have it on our list. For instance, if
we have mailed the paper to Mrs. Jno.
Smith, it will cause confusion for her to re
new as Mrs. Julia Smith. Full instructions
for remitting will be found on Bth page.

in this issue must be of interest to all
cur readers. Examine them carefully
and compare with any you have ever

value for a club as any one or two dollar
magazine offers for the same number of
subscribers.
All books are sent by mail, postpaid.
All other articles are sent by freight or ex
press at expense of club-raiser. Send us a

APPRECIATIVE WORDS.
Mr. T. L. Mitchell, Athens, Ga.
My Dear Sir: I have read Woman’s
Work for the past two years with a great
deal of interest and pleasure. Its purity
is a very decided characteristic, a quality
for which I have sought in vain in other
literary journals.
With best wishes for its continued suc
cess during the current year, believe me,
Very truly yours, L. M. L.
Atlanta, Ga.
Editress Woman's Work:
Your dear paper is a valuable acquisi
tion to our stock of periodicals. I think
I only voice the opinion of its many read
ers when I say it is excellent. God bless
you in your endeavor to give our homes
soul-food that is nourishing. So much
trash is afloat, that we feel like clasping
hands with those who try to elevate our
country’s literature. Sincerely, •
Mrs. M. J. S.
Longwood, Ills.
Woman’s Work :
I enclose fifty cents for year’s subscrip
tion. I formerly received Woman’s
Work as an exchange, being one of the

looked upon it as one of the best ladies’
journals published.
Very truly,
Mrs. Cora J. Fritz.
Mankato, Minn.

TO ADVERTISERS.
Do advertising agents consider the best
interests of their patrons, or are they in
fluenced mainly by selfish interests in the
selection of mediums ?
The answer depends entirely on the
agency under consideration. Here is a
letter which was recently mailed to a num
ber of agents;
Athens, Ga., Feb. 23rd, 1892.
Dear Sir ; In order to solve the much discussed
question of agents’ commissions, I recently
adopted a syste m of space discounts, giving a fair
profit to those who handle and send me a reason
able volume of orders, but depriving a few of the
privilege which they usually enjoy of placing a
little private business at 15 to 25 per cent, lower
than leading advertisers who make contracts di
rect with publishers.
A few agents have objected to our plan, while
others have endorsed it. Will you co-operate
with me in securing desirable contracts for Wo
man’s Work, and ami at liberty to so announce
to advertisers?
You will notice from rate card that an aggre
gate space of one col. per issue entitles the agent
to a discount of 5 per cent.; 2 cols. 10 per cent.,
3 cols. 15 per cent., and 4 cols, or more, 20 per
cent, from the regular rate, which rate is on a basis
of half a cent a line per thousand copies.
I enclose stamp, and will appreciate an earlv
and full expression of your views.
Very truly,
T. L. Mitchell.
THE REPLIES were of a varied na
ture, many losing sight of the liberal
profits offered the bona fide agent, because
we cut off the bogus agent.
Here are three, differing widely in their
meanings, and closely concerning the inter
ests of advertisers:
MERIT DOESN’T COUNT.
Dear Sir ;
* The fact of your circulation, placing
the advertisement next to reading matter, stvle
of paper and popularity of same, will have ‘no
weight whatever with an agent who is making up
a list for an advertiser, when he remembers that
all these inducements will not help to pav his
expenses of running the business.
Yours truly, * * * <■
MERIT DOES COUNT.
Dear Sib;
>:-• >:■ * You may always be sure that if we have
an opportunity of.placing Woman s Work on a
list of papers lor any of our customers, we shall
be glad to do it, even if there is no commission
in it, because we believe in giving our customers
what they ask for, and what will, in our opinion,
pay them.
Yours very truly ' * * - * *=
GOVERNED BY PROFIT ALONE.
Dear Sir;
* * * An hgent to a very large extent influ
ences his customers. * * # Take, for instance,
the small advertisement of * * <■ The entire
list of papers used by this advertiser is my selec
tion, and had I known that you would allow no
discount to me as agent, for placing your paper
in this list, I should have hesitated before includ
ing it. * * * Please advise me as to your final
decision, as I will be governed accordingly in
placing your paper before my customers.
Yours truly, « * * » *■
MORAL. Be careful in your selection
of an agency, or “have a hand” in making
up your list of mediums. See that Wo
man’s Work is included, if you are ad
vertising for results. Orders may be
sent direct, or through either of the fol
lowing agencies:
Boston, S. R. Niles, Pettingill & Co.
Chicago, Chas. H. Fuller, Lord & Thomas.
Cincinnati, S. H. Parvins’ Sons Co.
New York, J. H. Bates, G. W. Place, Geo.
P. Rowell Co., J. Walter Thompson.
Philadelphia, N. W. Ayer & Son.
Prospect, 0., R. L. Watkins.
St. Paul, Minn., J. L. Stack & Co.
ADVERTISING RATES.
WOAWJsWORif
ATHENS, GEORGIA.
NET RATE for advertising, twenty-five
cents per agate line—B3.so per inch—each inser
tion. Reading notices, or isolated display mat
ter, double price. -No advertisement inserted for
less than 81 per issue.
DISCOUNTS allowed any advertiser, or ad
vertising agency, as follows: Space of one col
umn-fourteen inches—or over, in one issue, five
per cent; two columns or over, ten per cent;

These are our only—therefore our best —dis-
counts. The plan is a fair one to all advertisers
and advertising agents—in either case insuring
advantages in proportion to volume of business.
CIRCULATION. Should the actual proven
issue fall below fifty thousand copies for any
month, a pro rata reduction will be made in
charges.
COMPARISON of cost and result will place
our magazine at the head of profitable mediums.

next issue.
