Dear Sir: As the inclosed ad will show, I wish to test thoroughly the efficacy of
the want columns of The Georgian. I have already done this in a small way, and
the results have been very satisfactory. A small ad whhich I inserted a few times
in The Georgian brought me 25 replies. The same ad placed in the six leading papers
in six of the largest cities of the United States—papers whose aggregate circulation
is 770,168 copies daily—brought only thirty-three (33) rreplies. It is said that com
parisons are odious, and no doubt they are to the.other fellow. The above comparison
goes to show that The Georgian can’t be beat for an advertising medium.
Please insert the inclosed ad as directed, and send bill for same. I shall be glad
