THE DETROIT JOURNAL CO., Publishers. The value of a paper as an advertising organ depends mainly upon the extent, class and quality of its circulation. Class and quality are as important as numbers. For instance, a circulation of one thousand in one class might be as valuable to some advertisers as tens of thousands in a different class. The aim of the advertiser is to make his name and his wares well known amongst those who are in want of what he has to sell, and who may be likely to buy from him. He should therefore select papers that are known to circulate amongst those people whose wants he caters for.-The Advertisers' Guardian.

ESPECIALLY ADAPTED TO THE USE OF PUBLISHERS, EDITORS and And accurate management of any Newspaper's ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT. The book is briefly described in the following PRESS NOTICES. Its Advantages are Manifest." Mr. W. Brearley, of Detroit, Mich., has made a valuable contribution to business-house economy by the invention of a book to facilitate the keeping of memoranda. It contains leaves corresponding to the number of days in the year, a very clever and simple method of indicating the position of the several months being adopted. The leaves, which are of tough, white-brown paper, are paged so that the date of the month serves for the number. The design is that the book shall be used for keeping any notes, to which reference is to be made at a given date, in their proper place without the labor of copying being entailed. Its advantages over the ordinary memorandum or engagement book are manifest. IT CAN BE USED YEAR AFTER YEAR for the same purpose, it being only requisite to remove the loose memorada of one twelvemonth to make room for those of the following; it is safe, nothing but gross carelessness being sufficient to bring about the loss of any notes; and it is remarkably cheap for an article of such worth."-Geo. P. Rowell & Co.'s Advertising Gazette. Simple and Convenient." W. H. Brearley, of this city, has recently copyrighted a contrivance that will be of great practical value to publishers, lawyers, bankers, and other classes of business men who have business papers to file, requiring attention at fixed dates in the future. It consists of a book of 365 leaves, corresponding to the days of the year. indexed at the margin, so that any date can be readily turned to. Stubs are inserted between the leaves to admit of any amount of loose memoranda being placed at any date, and the binding of the leaves prevents them from losing out. Having gone through the year, the user can turn to the beginning again, and so on perpetually. The invention is very simple, convenient and comprehensive, and it will, no doubt, have a wide sale."-Detroit Evening News. DIRECTIONS FOR USING.
