SUBSCRIBERS’ COLUMN. We
are surprised that our subscribers do dot
more liberally patronise 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 th»o publisher, do injustice to
all concerned 4
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
Wobk’ will be.< blessing in your home.

TO ADVERTISERS.
Do advertising a'exits 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;
Athkns, Ga., Feb, 23rd, 1892.
Dka u Sir ; In order to solve the much discusseu
question of agents’ commissions, I recently
adopted a system of space discounts, giving a fair
profit io 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 Ift to 2ft 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 *eo-operate
with me in securing desirable contracts for Wo
man's Work, and am I at liberty to so announce
to advertisers?
You will notice from rate card that an aggre
gate space of one 001. per issue entitles the agent
to a discount of ft per cent.; 2 cols. 10 per cent.,
:»cols. 16 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.
1 enclose stamp, and will* appreciate an early
and full expression of ytnir 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 OOUNT.
Dear Sir;
« <• >;• The fact of your circulation, placing
the advertisement next to reading matter, style
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 paj his
expenses of running the business
Yours truly, * '* *
MERIT DOES OOUNT.
Dear Sir;
* * * You may always be sure that if we have
an opportunity oi placing Woman s Work on a
list of papers lor any of our customers, we shall
be gliHl 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 Al ONE.
Dear Sir; . , • «
« * •:< An agent 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
