PREFACE.
When the first edition of the " Canadian Newspaper
Directory " was issued in 1892 the publishers were congratulated
upon producing- the most correct and comprehensive newspaper
handbook of Canadian journalism ever presented to the public.
In that issue over 200 more newspapers were reported than
were given in the same year by any of the American Newspaper
Directories which assumed to cover Canadian territory. The
details were admittedly more accurate than those of any other
Directory, while no previous compilation embraced a gazetteer
of each town containing a newspaper office. The history of
Canadian journalism was also the most complete that has yet
been published, and has formed the ground work of every
historical sketch of Canadian newspapers that has appeared
since that time, though it is not in every case that due credit
has been given to this work.
The Directory, though the best of its kind yet issued, and
though unanimously praised by the leading Canadian news-
papers, was, we regret to say, not a financial success, and for
this reason we have not felt justified in getting out another
edition until now. In addition to the financial question, there
were mechanical difficulties in the way, as no printing office in
Montreal was equipped with a sufficient quantity of type and
material of the kind required to get out the lists with the rapidity
we desired. We have now, however, overcome this by the
purchase of an outfit of type especially selected for the work,
and we hope with the increased support of those who so warmly
approved of the first edition, to issue it regularly hereafter.
With our present outfit, we shall be able to keep the type
standing, so that the cost of future editions may be somewhat
reduced.
Among the new features of this issue will be found four
newspaper maps, covering the whole Dominion, and especially
engraved for this work. This, we believe, is the first instance
in which maps have been used in connection with a newspaper
handbook to give special prominence to the newspaper towns.
Maps have been issued, with other Newspaper Directories but
these were general geographical maps. The present maps give
8 THE CANADIAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY.
in a very prominent way the name and correct location of every
city, town and village, in which one or more newspapers
are published. The advantage of such a series of maps to
the general advertiser, as well as to the journalist, will be
readily appreciated. The advertiser who wishes to reach a
given territory, or a certain class ot the community, will see at
once what local mediums cover the field. For instance, if it is
desired to reach mariners or vessel owners, the advertiser may
tell at a glance the number of papers located on the lake or
seaports of the Dominion, and may make his selection accord-
ingly, and so with regard to any branch of trade which is
localized in certain geographical areas, while it will be equally
advantageous to the advertiser who wishes to confine his
attention to any one province or section of a province, as well
as to any one class of people.
The statistics, as given in the first edition, 'have been
brought down to the latest date, both in the gazetteers of the
provinces, and other portions of the work.
In conclusion, we have to acknowledge the generous
support given by the patrons of the Canadian Newspaper
Directory, both in the first and present editions, and it is a
pleasure to be able to say that many newspaper proprietors,
who before our first edition doubted the expediency of a purely
Canadian Newspaper Directory, and questioned its chances
of success, have since shown their belief in the value of the
work, and their confidence that the present publishers are
able to give them the most reliable reference book that can be
compiled. This confidence will be an inspiration to us to
maintain the high character which has been accorded to the
work by both publishers and public.

DUTY OF THE PRESS.
(/•'row a lecture before I'ictoria L'liirersity by J. -.9. Wt'llison .)
It is, however, not too much to say that the press is still on trial, and
that if it fail to show capacity for self-discipline and self-regulation there
must arise a movement for regulation by public authority. In truth, in the
New York State Legislature there has just been introduced a statute for
the regulation of the cartoon, and there is a rising public revolt against
two or three of the great New York journals ; against their news methods,
however, rather than against their, editorial utterances or general public
policy. There can be no doubt that a newspaper despotism is one of the
most insolent and brutal of all despotisms. The journalist who hunts a
private citizen under the influence of a mere personal malice is as pitiful a
creature as a bully who flogs a child. But one doubts if this tyranny can
safely be suppressed by public authority. The remedy will probably be
found in public opinion rather than in public regulation. The press with
all its faults has been the very voice of progress, and under its protecting
arm liberty has been sheltered from many a storm and civilization steadied
for many a triumphal advance. If now and then journalism develops a
ruffian or a tyrant it is in the power of public opinion to put him down, and
it is not necessary in the process to cripple or destroy one of the best and
most beneficient of the agencies of civilization. Any legislation that could
be enacted to restrain the license or moderate the brutality of the press
would be as likely to be used to check exposure of abuses and to prevent
the uncovering of conspiracies against the common-wealth as for the pro-
tection of the private citizen against the malice and venom of guerilla jour-
nalists. As I have said, the dogma of editorial infallibility is a relic of a
more credulous age. It must become more and more the habit of the press
to reason, rather than to dogmatize, to present all phases of a question to
the people, to stimulate independent research and hard free thinking, to
develop more original voices in order that we may have fewer feeble vapid
echoes throughout the community. There is nothing more damaging to
real independence of thought and utterance than the ancient tradition that
a public journal must declare a positive and irrevocable opinion upon every
political, commercial, social and scientific question that arises for discus-
sion, and that the first word of an impulsive editor must be (he last word of
an enlightened community. It should be the business of the press to steady
rather than to inflame public opinion, and even at the risk of darling popu-
larity, which may, perhaps, count heavily in the advertising department,
refuse to run at the heels of every momentary clamour and make revenue
out of the passions and prejudices of a community. The great fault of the
Canadian press has been, that, it was political rather than national, and one
of the most hopeful signs for Canada at this hour is that in the main it tends
to become national rather than political. Irrational devotion to party can
hardly be consistent with rational devotion to country.
26 THE CANADIAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY.
THE BUSINESS
OF THE MODERN
NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING
AGENCY.
ITS UTILITY TO BOTH THE ADVERTISER
AND THE PUBLISHER.
First and foremost and all the time it is the business of an
advertising agency to promote and facilitate newspaper adver-
tising.
To be of valuable service to the advertiser an agency must
have first, a high standing with the publishers, a reputation for
honesty and integrity, the name of living up to its promises and
of paying its accounts promptly.
It must possess the experience of years in dealing with
the newspapers of the Country, must know the rock bottom
rates and the circulation, as nearly as may be, of every public-
ation, must be informed concerning its growing or declining
popularity, the character of its readers, the territory it covers,
its political complexion, the peculiarity of its make up, method
of doing business, etc., etc. Special knowledge on all these
points is absolutely necessary in order to intelligently determine
the fitness of a publication for the advertising of a particular
article.
The modern advertising agency must have a complete and
thorough organization in which all the departments work har-
moniously toward the common end of rendering a prompt and
efficient service to the advertiser. It must employ specialists to
THE CANADIAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY. 29
originate, write up and illustrate, bright, attractive adver-
tisements for every line of business.
It must be in touch with the best printers, artists, en-
gravers, electrotypers, etc., in order to secure for its clients the
best possible work and turn it out promptly.
It must have a complete, up-to-date method of sending out
instruction orders and changes of copy to the newspapers, a
perfect system of checking and looking after every insertion of
every advertisement in every paper during the life of each con-
tract and a clear and comprehensive method of rendering ac-
counts to the advertiser and furnishing him with vouchers,
duplicates of checking records, etc., to show that he has had
every insertion for which he has been charged and that the
advertising has been inserted in accordance with the
contract.
THE AGENCY AND THE PUBLISHER.
A few publishers are in the habit of complaining that the
n advertising agency works entirely in the interest of the
.ser and against the interest of the publisher. If the
uest interests of the publisher consist in securing the highest
possible price from the advertiser, without any regard to the
actual value given, and in having the foreign advertisement
stand for the whole year, without change, in the most obscure
part of the paper, and in being paid for the full term no matter
how many insertions have been missed, then it may be truly
urged that the advertising agency interferes somewhat with
these interests.
It may be reasonably affirmed however that the best interests
of a newspaper consist in so dealing with every advertiser as to
make his advertising profitable and thus secure the continuance
of his business. It is just here that the agency comes in and
not only develops and secures the advertising for the news--
paper but helps the publisher to give good value for the money
and then sees that he gets the money.
To begin at the beginning the advertising agent scents from
afar the advent of a new article, the success of which depends
on the way in which it is placed before the consumer; he inter-
views the manufacturer at once, and explains to him the advan-
tages of newspaper advertising by which possible purchasers of his
30 THE CANADIAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY.
product, may be made aware of its peculiar qualities. As
a rule a producer of an article, if he is not an experienced
advertiser, knows as little about newspaper advertising as he
does about liquified air and to him it is a quantity quite as
uncertain.
It may take the advertising" agent weeks, or even months
to make the benefits of newspaper advertising sufficiently clear
to the manufacturer to induce him to even consider an estimate.
Without the advertising agency, he might go along for years
before realizing the fact that he must use the columns of the
newspapers before he can ever expect to have a very large sale
for his article and then the difficulties of mapping out a plan of
advertising, writing up the matter, and making the contracts
with the newspapers, which he would have to select at random,
would probably deter him from taking up the matter at all. Or,
what is more likely, he would fall into the hands of the adver-
tising fakirs, who would sell him " valuable (?) spaces" in
special editions, "covering the whole civilized country", in
maps, albums of celebrities, and schemes innumerable and then
when his money was spent and the sale of his article had not
increased he, thinking he had made a test of the value of adver-
tising, would condemn advertising as a failure.
On the other hand however, the general advertising agency,
working on the plan that the results of the advertising must
show a profit to this advertiser in order that the business may
be permanent, is likely to succeed in interesting him at the start
by laying before him a well developed and comprehensive plan
for covering the whole country or any particular district at a
minimum of cost. The agency prepares a series of bright,
attractive advertisements, illustrated or otherwise, places the
contracts with the right newspapers, at the right prices, secures
a good position in each paper and starts that advertiser upon
his road to success.
In order to facilitate matters for the publisher, electrotypes
or stereotypes are prepared and sent to him, thereby doing away
with the expense of typesetting and the liability of mistakes in
copy. Definite instructions are given in order that the adver-
tisers' wishes may be carried out with the least possible trouble
and at the end of every month or quarter the publisher gets a
complete statement, showing in detail every dollar that is due
him for the work of that term for each of the many advertisers
in hand and one cheque to balance the account.
THE CANADIAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY. 33
This method of payment probably applies to only one
agency in Canada and it is a well known fact that the majority
of newspapers throughout the country, finding" these statements
always correct, depend upon them entirely and keep no other ac-
counts, so far as A. McKim & Go's Agency is concerned. A point
in this connection not fully appreciated by all publishers, is that
many other agencies, even those who have a reputation for
very prompt payment, pay only for what they are billed, if the
amount is not higher than it should be, if items that should be
included are left out, they pay the bill without rectifying the
publishers error.
A. McKim & Go's method is to pay promptly for all adver-
tising that has been properly inserted whether it has been billed
for or not. Even when the advertiser fails to pay his account
to this firm, the newspapers are paid just the same.
This agency is practically the pioneers of the Newspaper
Advertising Agency business in Canada, at least, it was the first
to be established upon a systematic basis and make it a success,
securing the entire confidence of both advertisers and publishers
throughout the Dominion.
Mr. Anson McKim came to Montreal in 1878 to open a local
agency of the Toronto "Mail". This he conducted for ten
years with remarkable success. During these ten years he
assisted in developing the advertising idea among Montreal
advertisers to such an extent that the opening of an Advertising
Agency seemed an absolute necessity and in January 1899 the
present firm started in the Advertising Agency business, with
Mr. A. McKim as the sole proprietor.
Notwithstanding this change in relationship the publishers
of the Toronto Mail desired him to retain the special agency of
that paper, which has been continued to the present date.
The business has been a success from the start and its
progress has been uniformly upward until the name of
A. McKim & Co. is as familiar to the advertiser as that of his own
special article and to the newspaper publisher as the heading of
his paper.
Honest dealing and prompt payments have been the key
notes of this agency from the first and there is probably not a
business firm in the Dominion enjoying the confidence of its
customers to a greater extent.
The Newspapers throughout the whole country, while they
34
THE CANADIAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY.
frequently complain of the low prices paid, are unanimous in their
expression of confidence in the integrity of the firm and approval
of the systematic way in which the whole business is conducted,
especially of the prompt and satisfactory manner in which
accounts are paid even though bills have not been rendered.
Accompanying this article are some photographic views,
showing the premises occupied by A. McKim & Co.
LIBEL LAW.
" The history of the law of libel, than which none is more interesting;
says John King, Q.C. in his " History of Newspaper Libel " furnishes abun-
dant evidence of the educative influence exerted by the press itself. There
is scarcely an amendment that cannot be traced to this source. It is seen
in all of those legislative changes which we have been considering, and in
a long line of leading cases which have settled the law as it is, and occa-
sionaly suggested what should be. Reform has not always come when
urged, or when most needed : it has hastened slowly ; but enlightened
public opinion has been steadily on its side, and it has never wanted a leader.
There is a fact, known to very few, in the life and labors of an old Canadian
journalist which the writer may be excused for mentioning. It should interest
all who have sympathised with the early struggles for a free press in Canada.
A few years ago, in the course of a newspaper controversy which arose in
regard to the story of the Upper Canada Rebellion, and the personages who
figured therein, the writer in looking through the papers of the late William
Lyon Mackenzie, came upon a draft parliamentary bill " for more effectually
securing the liberty of the press." It was in manuscript, in Mackenzie's
plain, bold hand-writing, and displayed marks of frequent revision in order
apparently to render its phraseology acceptable as a piece of parliamentary
drafting. From the date which it bore — and subsequent inquiries verified
the fact — the bill had been drawn years in advance of any agitation for
those salutary provisions of Lord Campbell's Act, with a number of addi-
tional clauses that would have rendered that famous British act more effec-
tive, but it also contained the substance of other reforms which were after-
ward engrafted on the Canadian law of libel. The bill had not been laid
before the legislature by reason, as far as we could discover, of the stirring
events which drove its author into exile but there can be no doubt that, had
a good, instead of an evil star shone upon his path, his libel bill would have
been the precursor, in our old Upper Canada House of Assembly, of the
great measure which, during his term of expatriation, was placed upon the
statute books and became the law of England."
To Mr. Chas. Lindsay, author of " Life of William Lyon Mackensie "
(who by the way was the owner of the draft referred to above) we are
indebted for a fact equally worthy of note, but not yet recorded in any
Canadian history. Mackenzie was chairman of a committee of the Upper
Canada Legislature appointed to look into the banking regulations and
suggest improvements in the existing banking system, and in that capacity
drew up a report making ten chief recommendations, for the Reform of
the Banking system. None of these recommendations were acted upon
at the time but since then at different periods one after another of the
reforms suggested have been carried out till all are now incorporated in the
Canadian Banking Act except two.

CANADA AS A FIELD FOR UNITED STATES
ADVERTISERS.
Statistics from an article by Hugh Graham, published in "Pro-
fitable Advertising" Dec.
During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1898, our tariff gave a preference
of 12)4 per cent., now 25 per cent., in favor of British goods ; but despite
the fact, the imports of American goods entered for actual consumption in
Canada were $78,263,504, as compared with $58,574,024 in the fiscal year
1896, the last year of the old tariff; that is, the Canadian imports of Ame-
rican merchandise increased by $19,689,480, or, in other words, about $4
per capita of the population. In the same time, their imports from all coun-
tries, of goods entered for actual consumption in the country, increased by
only $22,294,442, and their imports from Great Britain for this period show
a falling off of $973,037 since July i last. The preference is 25 per cent.,
and this may cause a change in respect to British imports. It may be well
to note, that $8,562,434 of the American increase was on dutiable goods.
A country's productive powers are a measure of its ability to buy and
pay for goods of other nations. Canada bought more goods last year than
formerly, but still comparing the same periods, she has shown an even
larger increase in her productive powers. A high-water mark in exports
was made in 1896, but those of 1898 exceed them by $38,461,918, the values
for the respective periods being $121,013,852 and $i52i485,77o. Great
Britain took $79,586,605 more of our products in 1898 than in 1896, and the
United States $9,402,786 more. The United States Consul General in Mon-
treal, Gen. John J. Bittinger, has sent to his government at Washington a
report which should prove profitable reading to all merchants desirous of
extending their trade in Canada. The Canadian trade and navigation re-
turns for the present year will likewise bear study. In his report Mr.
Bittinger takes ground in favor of reciprocity, pointing out that in order
that Canadians should purchase more freely in the United States, they
must be able to sell there also. He gives the following table of goods im-
ported from Great Britain to Canada, the import of which in 1897 was less
'than in 1893, while the import of the same class of goods from the United
States exceeds that of 1893.

ONTARIO. 39
PROVINCE OF ONTARIO.
Ontario is the most populous and wealthy of all the provinces of
Canada. It has a land area of 219,650 square miles and a water area of
2,350 sq. miles ; with a population at the census of 1891 of 2, 114,321. The
present population is estimated at two and half million souls. It has 42
counties besides several districts as large as some European states, out of
which future counties will be formed. The province has 13 incorporated
cities, 99 incorporated towns and about 2,500 villages. Its facilities for
railway and water communication combined are not surpassed by any
division of the American continent. The River St. Lawrence and the great
lakes, Ontario, Erie, Huron, and Superior touch it on its entire southern
and western boundaries, while from the " Height of land," which forms
the back bone of the province, many fine rivers flow down to those lakes
on the south, or to James Bay and Hudsons Bay on the north. No
important county is unreached by a railway, and out of a total of 16,687
miles of railway in Canada 6,647 miles or about 40 per cent are in Ontario.
In the extent and variety of its agricultural, dairy and fruit products
Ontario leads the Dominion, while its wealth of gold, nickel and other
valuable minerals is proving to be greater than was ever anticipated by
geologists ten years ago. A census of the live stock of the province in
1897 showed 613,670 head of horses, 2,182,326 head of cattle, 1,690,350
head of sheep and 1,284,963 head of swine, while some items of the agricul-
tural products in the same year were as follows: 28,856,152 bushels of
wheat, 12,021,779 bushels of barley, 86,318,128 bushels of oats, 13,867,093
bushels of peas, 7,000,000 bushels of other grain, 16,100,797 bushels of
potatoes, 68,297, 148 bushels of turnips, and 3,811,518 tons of hay. It is
noteworthy that the average yield per acre of crops in Ontario, though not
so high as in Manitoba and the N.W.T., is greater than in any state -in the
American Union, the comparison holding good with all kinds of grain, and
with all states, except one kind of grain in one state — Kansas which pro-
duces a higher average in oats- The production of cheese in 1897 was
164,220,699 Ibs. and of butter 11,453,351 Ibs. In 1897 Ontario had 5,669
public schools besides 340 Roman Catholic separate schools and 6 protes-
tant separate schools, 105 kindergartens and 18 night schools, with
441,157 pupils in the public schools, 41,620 in the R. C. separate schools,
543 in the protestant separate schools, 10,693 in the Kindergartens, and
i ,406 in the night schools. The number of public school teachers was
8,376. In higher education Ontario has a provincial normal school for
the training of teachers, two other normal schools, two model schools, an
art and industrial school, two technical schools, 37 collegiate institutes
with 12,208 pupils, and 130 high schools with 24,390 pupils. It has also
103 public free libraries and 401 public subscription libraries. The pro-
vince had in 1897, 3,198 post offices through which passed 65,500,000
letters, 16,750,000 post cards, i ,785,000 registered letters, 4,150,000 free
letters, 14,825,000 transient newspapers, circulars, etc., and 653,724 money
orders. Ontario is represented in the Dominion parliament by 24 senators
and 92 members of the House of Commons. Its local government is
carried on by a single chamber having 94 members. Capital, Toronto.

PROVINCE OF QUEBEC.
The Province of Quebec, the cradle of civilization in Canada, has a
history more abounding in romance and episode than that of any other
division of the American continent. Its discovery dates from 1534, and its
regular colonization from the beginning of the iyth century. From this
colony went forth the hardy French pioneers, who penetrated through the
wilds surrounding the Great Lakes, into the plains and prairies of the
unknown West and North West, and down the valley of the Mississippi to
the Gulf of Mexico, and whose names still survive in many a town, lake
and river, of Western Canada and the United States. The scenery of
Quebec, along the St. Lawrence and Saguenay to Lake St. John and the
regions beyond, and is year by year attracting visitors from all parts of the
continent and from Europe. The wealth of Quebec in minerals is proving
to be very great, the asbestos mines, among others, being now acknow-
ledged to be the richest in the world. Quebec is penetrated in every part
by rivers and streams, and the amount of water power still unutilized is
inconceivable to those who have not explored the province. The facilities
thus afforded for mill operations point out the province as a great future
seat of manufacturing, especially in paper and pulp making, these water
powers being interspersed among vast tracts of spruce, poplar, hemlock
and other pulp woods, unequalled in the world for their qualities for pulp
and paper making. By an Order in Council passed in 1896 the northern
boundaries have been extended to the shores of Hudson Bay, the land area
of Quebec being now 344,050 sq. miles, and the water area 3,300 sq. miles.
The population at the last census in 1891, was 1,488,586, and is now
estimated at 1,650,000. It has 66 counties, five districts, 8 cities, 101 towns,
and over 1,500 villages. A dual system of education exists in the province,
there beirig a board of Roman Catholic school commissioners and a board
of Protestant school commissioners. The R. C. Board has under its charge
4,208 elementary schools, 475 model schools, 138 academies, 2 normal
schools, 1 8 classical colleges and 2 universities, these institutions having
267,012 pupils of all grades. Under the Protestant school commissioners,
there are 907 elementary schools, 49 model schools, 27 academies, i normal
school, 3 classical colleges and 2 universities, these schools, etc., having
39,155 pupils of all grades. Besides these, there are 7 non-sectarian schools
of arts and manufactures, 5 schools of agriculture and dairying and other
miscellaneous institutions of learning. Quebec sends to the Dominion
parliament 65 members, and is represented there by 24 senators, the same
number as for Ontario. Its provincial legislature has two Houses, the
Upper House, or legislative council, having 24 members, and the Legis-
lative Assembly 65 members. The provincial capital is Quebec city. The
province has 1,664 post offices, through which in 1897 there passed
26,850,000 letters, 525,000 free letters, 865,000 registered letters, 4,750,000
post cards, 127,095 money orders and 4,500,000 transient newspapers,
circulars and books, exclusive of newspapers issued from publication offices.

the province, see other parts of this zt'ork,

Montreal first began to be settled by Europeans in 1542 ; and ex-
actly one century later the spot destined to be the city was consecrat-
ed with due solemities, commended to the " Queen of Angels," and
called I'ille-Marie, a name which it retained for a long period. In
1760 it was taken by the English. Early in the present century
vessels of more than three hundred tons could not ascend to Mont-
real, and its foreign trade was carried on by small brigs and barges.
In 1809 the first steam vessel, " The Accommodation," built by the
Hon. John Molson, made a trip to Quebec. She had berths for
twenty passengers. Years of industry and intelligence, enterprise
and labor have produced a mighty contrast. Ocean steamers of
4,000 to 10,000 tons and ships from 700 to 2,000, from all parts of the
world, now lie alongside of the wharves in the harbor, which are
not equalled in Canada in point of extent, accommodation, approach
and cleanliness. Montreal was formerly the capital of Canada, but
in April, 1849, a political mob burned the Parliament Buildings and
the seat of government was in consequence removed to Quebec, sub-
sequently to Toronto and finally to Ottawa. In July, 1852, a destruc-
tive fire laid waste a large part of the city, burning i , 108 houses and
destroying property valued at $1,363,264. Montreal is noted for its
charitable and religious institutions, some of which were founded
nearly 250 years ago. The oldest church in the city is the Bonse-
cours (Roman Catholic), it was erected in 1658 ; was burnt in 1764,
but rebuilt in 1771. The city is abundantly supplied with pure wa-
ter, and is lighted by electricity and gas. The principal buildings
are the City Hall, Court House, Post Office, Custom House, Board
of Trade, Seminary of St. Sulpice, Convent of Notre Dame, General
Hospital, Royal Victoria Hospital, Grey Nunnery, Montreal College,
McGill University Buildings, Laval University, Presbyterian, Me-
thodist and Congregational Colleges, Young Men's Christian Associa
tion building, St. Mary's College, Montreal Diocesan College,
Academy of Music, Queen's Hall, Theatre Royal, Her Majesty's
Theatre, Theatre Francais, Victoria Skating Rink, Deaf and Dumb
Asylum, Mechanics' Hall, etc. It has thirteen markets, including
Bonsecours, a magnificent building with a lofty dome, fronting on the
River. It has eighty churches and five synagogues. Its parks and
squares are numerous, the chief being Mount Royal Park, covering
430 acres, and affording from the "Look out" one- of the finest
urban views of the continent. Montreal is the head of ocean naviga-
tion on the St. Lawrence, and its shipping trade is the largest of any
city in Canada, the annual exports amounting to about $30,000,000
and the imports about $45,000,000. It is the head port of eight
steamship companies, one of which (the Allan line) is among the
largest in the world. Over 6,000 vessels arrive annually during the
season of navigation. Its granite docks extend seven or eight miles
up and down the river. Montreal has about two-thirds of the bank-
ing capital of Canada, no less than eight of its chartered banks
having their head offices here. The Victoria Bridge across the River
St. Lawrence at Montreal, was the largest tubular bridge in the
world, being 9,184 feet in length. It contains 24 spans of 242 feet
each and one (the centre 60 feet above the river) of 330 feet, and it
cost nearly $7,000,000. This bridge has now been replaced by a
double track steel bridge laid on the old piers. The educational
means of the city comprise a university (McGill) with faculties of law,
arts, science, medicine, and veterinary science, and theological
colleges connected with the Methodist, Congregational, Presbyte-
rian, Church of England, and Roman Catholic churches ; a high
school, two normal schools^ and a number of private and public
schools and several classical and scientific academies, also a medical

QUEBEC, pop. 73,446, Co. Quebec, is situated on the left bank of the
* River St. Lawrence at Point des Monts, 180 miles N.E. of Montreal,
and 328 miles N.W. of Portland, Me., lat. (of N.E. bastion) 46° 49'
6", long. 71° 13' 45" W. Chief Industries : ship building, manufacture
of iron castings, machinery, cutlery, nails, cartridges and shells,
leather, paper, church ornaments, boots and shoes, rope, tobacco
and cigars, steel, etc. Chief Shipments : timber is shipped by mill-
ions of feet to all parts of the world, potatoes, cabbages and turnips
form a large portion of its exports, while all classes of merchandize
is shipped to every civilized country. Levis immediately opposite is
connected by a ferry and a great many of the business men and
clerks of Quebec reside there. Quebec is the capital of the Pro-
vince of Quebec, and is the third most populous city in Canada.
In the grandeur of its site and surroundings, in the strength of its
fortifications, in the extent and romance of its history, and the
hospitality and kindness of its citizens, Quebec stands supreme

among' the cities of America. The city has a remarkably pictu-
resque situation between the two rivers at the north-eastern ex-
tremity of a narrow but elevated tableland, which for about eight
miles forms the left bank of the River St. Lawrence. Cape Diamond,
the extremity of the tableland, is 333 feet above the level of the river,
to which it presents a nearly precipitous face ; the descent to the St.
Charles River is more gradual. The distance from one river to the
other is little more than a mile. Opposite Cape Diamond the St.
Lawrence is contracted to a breadth of 1,314 yards ; but immediately
below, at the confluence of the St. Charles, it spreads out into a
broad and beautiful basin, more than 2,500 yards wide, forming a
capacious and excellent harbor. The Spring tides rise and fall 18
feet. Quebec is divided into two parts called Upper and Lower
Towns. The Upper Town occupies the highest part of the pro-
montory, a small part of it is surrounded with walls, and otherwise
fortified. The ancient citadel, which crowns the summit of Cape
Diamond, covers, with its numerous works, an area of 40 acres, and
from its position is the strongest natural fortress in America. The
Lower Town, which is the seat of commerce, is built around the base
of Cape Diamond, where, in many places, the rock has been cut
away to make room for the houses. The banks of both rivers are
lined with warehouses and wharves, the latter jutting about 200 feet
into the stream, and along them the water is sufficiently deep to
admit vessels of the largest size. The city has several times suffered
from disastrous fires, but the result has been the erection of more
attractive buildings and a consequent improvement in the general
appearance of the city- In the Upper Town are several squares
and public walks commanding views unrivalled for their varied and
picturesque appearance. In one stands a substantial monument,
erected to the joint memory of Generals Wolfe and Montcalm, the
English and French commanders who fell in the taking of Quebec in
1759. It is 65 feet high. A monument 40 feet high marks the spot
where General Wolfe fell on the Plains of Abraham ; while on St.
Foy Road stands a monument presented by Prince Napoleon Bona-
parte in 1855, commemorating a fierce struggle which took place
here in 1760 between the British and French troops. Among the
public buildings of Quebec may be mentioned the new Parliament
Buildings ; the Roman Catholic Cathedral, with a seating capacity
of 4,000 persons, and covering with the university attached an area
of eight acres ; the English Cathedral, surmounted by,a lofty spire,
both occupying elevated positions in the Upper Town. There are
twenty-three churches in Quebec and one synagogue. The educat-
ional institutions comprise three Roman Catholic Colleges, viz :
Laval University, with faculties of arts, law and medicine ; the
Grand Seminary and the Minor Seminary ; the Ursuline Convent, an
extensive establishment founded in 1641 ; several nunneries ; Morrin
College, with seven professors ; Laval, Normal and Model schools ;
Girls' High school ; the Quebec High school, and a number of private
academies and public schools. There are in addition, a Canadian
Institute, provided with a library and reading room ; the Literary
and Historical Society, the oldest chartered institution of its kind in
Canada, having been founded in 1824, and possessing valuable
" Records of the Realm " in eighty or ninety folios, and a large
collection of historical manuscripts ; but nearly the whole of its
museum and a great part of its library were destroyed by fire, with
the Parliament buildings, in 1854 ; the Entomological Society, St.
Patrick's Literary Institute, Advocates' Library, Board of Trade,
Merchants' Exchange and the Y. M.C.A. rooms. The principal
benevolent institutions are the Marine Hospital, the Hotel Dieu, the
(Jeffery Hale) General Hospital, and the Lunatic Asylum at Beau-
port. Surrounding towns and villages where no papers are pub-

There is one argument for the cause of ho-

never will be successfully refuted. It is uni-
versally conceded that if a merchant is in bu-
siness to stay he will find it an absolute neces-
sity to secure the confidence of the public.
That this cannot be done by dishonest methods
is a self-evident truth. Profitable Advertising.

PROVINCE OF NEW BRUNSWICK.
New Brunswick, the largest of the three maritime provinces, has a land
area of 28,100 square miles, and an internal water area of 100 square
miles. The population at the census of 1891 was 321,294 and the
estimated population at the present time is about 350,000. The province
is endowed with a remarkable wealth of timber lands and an extent
of rich farming- land also far larger than is generally supposed. These
lands will be opened up for cultivation as the forests are cleared,
when New Brunswick will be recognized not only as a great agricultural
and stock raising country, but as Nova Scotia is now, will be rich in fruit
and garden products. The pulp industry is beginning to be developed,
the province having a large area of fine pulp wood. The province is inter-
sected in a remarkable way by beautiful rivers, nearly all of which are
stocked with fish. Some of the salmon rivers of New Brunswick are the
most celebrated in the world. The River St. John — noted among other
New Brunswick rivers for its picturesque scenery — is 500 miles long, is
navigable for large steamers to Fredericton, 90 miles, and for small steam-
ers to Grand Falls, 230 miles. Other noble rivers of the province are the
Miramichi, the Nipiseguit, the Richibucto and the Ste. Croix. Coal, gold,
galena, manganese, antimony and other mineral deposits exist in the
province, together with a remarkable mineral called albertite — a jet-black,
glossy substance — the true character of which was a matter of dispute
among geologists, though it is now regarded as pure petroleum, and is of
great commercial value. To give an idea of the extent of the lumber
industry of the province, the mills of the St. John River alone produce over
160,000,000 ft. annually, not including laths, pickets, shingles, staves, etc.
The fisheries of the province are extensive, employing over 11,000 men and
over 5,500 vessels and fishing boats. The total value of the fish caught by
these fishermen in 1897 was $4,799,433, the exports offish being $757,207.
The total tonnage of vessels engag-ed in the coastingtrade of New Brunswick
in 1897 was 1,301,667 tons. The canning of lobsters and sardines is now a
special feature of this industry. New Brunswick has three cities, five
towns and 750 villages and hamlets. It has two universities and a number
of academies, normal and high schools. There were 1,737 public schools
in the province in 1897, with 1,820 teachers and assistants and 61,988
pupils. The grammar schools have 82 teachers and 732 pupils, and the
normal schools 257 pupils. The total number of post offices in the province
in 1897 was 1,183, through which passed 6,250,000 letters, 1,145,000 post
cards, 149,000 registered letters, 206,000 free letters, 765,000 transient
newspapers (not including papers mailed from newspaper offices), circulars,
etc., 17,000 parcels and 68,203 money orders. In the Dominion parliament
New Brunswick is represented by 10 senators and 14 members of the House
of Commons. Its provincial legislature has now a single house, the Legis-
lative Assembly, consisting of 46 members. Capital, Fred"ericton.
For information as to the newspapers of the province see other parts
of this work.

SAINT JOHN, pop. 45,000, Co. St. John, is pleasantly situated at
* mouth of the St. John River on a rocky peninsula projecting into the
harbor, 190 miles N.W. of Halifax and 761 miles E. of Montreal ;
Tel., T., Ex., M.O. Bank. Chief Industries : saw, grist, cotton and
woolen mills, foundries, boiler and engine shops, shoe factories,
wooden ware and tool factories, tanneries, carriage, soap, candle
and box factories, furniture factories, ship building and fishing. Chief
Shipments : lumber, fish and the various products of its manufactories.
The city contains about thirty churches, also high, public and private
schools, a large number of religious and charitable institutions and
societies, asylum, a public library, efficient fire brigade and police
force, electric street railway, large numbers of hotels, etc. The
harbor of St. John is capacious, safe and never obstructed by ice.
Its entrance — two miles south of the city — is protected by islands,
on which are quarantine hospital and a lighthouse. The ordinary
rise of tide is 2 1 feet at low water. The waters of the harbour
at high tide are 12 feet higher than those of the river, hence the
phenomena of a fall outwards and inwards at every tide. St. John
is the distributing point of a wide extent of country abounding in
agricultural resources, minerals and valuable timber. Its admir-
able position at the mouth of one of the largest rivers' in America,
with a harbor open during the entire year, and regular steamboat
connections with all parts of the province and the northern portion
of the United States, and with a system of railroads running in all
directions, with extensive maritime and manufacturing interests,
insure its becoming a city of great commercial wealth and impor-
tance. Between six hundred and nine hundred men are employed
in fishing salmon, shad, herrings, halibut and haddock. The
city is regularly laid out and well built. It stands on a declivity,
and when approached from the sea has a commanding appearance.

The only way to win in advertising is to get
into it with all your heart, determined to get
results, and then leave no stone unturned to
discover along what lines advertising will bring
the greatest returns at the smallest cost.
An ad must look for the reader. Readers
never look for an ad.
People remember your goods because you
force them to. Stop forcing and they'll stop
remembering.
Be patient. Don't expect a mad rush on
the part of the public the moment you spring
your first advertisement upon them. If you
want a good crop you must sow good seed and
plenty of it. One grain of corn won' t produce it.

PROVINCE OF NOVA SCOTIA.
The Province of Nova Scotia — called in its early days Acadia, and
embracing- under that term the territory of the present Province of New
Brunswick — is bounded on the north and west by the Gulf of St. Lawrence,
Straits of Northumberland and Bay of Fundy, and on the east and south by
the Atlantic Ocean. Only a narrow neck of land separates the waters of
the Bay of Fundy from the Straits of Northumberland. Standing- out in
the Atlantic, and commanding, in a commercial sense, the Gulf of St. Law-
rence, the province is destined to be the great maritime force of the Amer-
ican continent. Each and every county in the whole province reaches the
sea, and possesses one or more harbors ; and the position of the province
in this respect is unique in the geography of the world. The land area
of Nova Scotia is 20,550 square miles, the internal water area 50 square
miles, and the population in 1891 was 450,523. It has 18 counties, 3 cities,
14 towns and about 850 villages. The future maritime pre-eminence of
Nova Scotia is not only indicated by its position on the sea, and by the
natural tendencies of the population, but by the immense beds of excellent
coal and iron found side by side in the same counties, and eminently suited
for ship building purposes. The output of Nova Scotia coal increased from
1,373,666 long tons in 1886 to over 2,280,000 in 1898, and the demand for
it in Quebec and other provinces has been greater during the past year
than ever before. During 1898 the quantity of gold mined in the province
amounted to 31,104 oz. This exceeded the output of any previous year,
the product of the iron mines is also large ; while the province is rich in
gypsum, copper and other mines as yet but partially developed. Amongf
other products of the field, Nova Scotia has of late years become famous
for her apples, which are in great demand in England for tfreir exception-
ally fine flavor. In the last few years the production of apples has ranged
from 200,000 barrels to 400,000 barrels, and new areas are each year being-
planted. Im 1898 Nova Scotia had 2,385 schools with 101,203 pupils. The
province has five Universities, a Provincial Normal school, an Academy
for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind — the first in any British Colony — a school
of Horticulture, and 18 county academies besides high schools. In the
year 1897 there passed through the 1,657 Post offices of Nova Scotia
9,100,000 letters, 1,725,000 post cards, 237,000 registered letters and
775,000 transient newspapers, periodicals, books, etc. Nova Scotia sends
to the House of Commons 20 members, and to the Upper House 10 senators ;
its local legislature has 38 members in the Assembly and 21 in the Legis-
lative Council. Capital, Halifax.

PROVINCE of PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND.
Thoug-h the smallest in area — having a land surface of only 2,000 square-
miles — Prince Edward Island is the most thickly settled and one of the most
productive of the provinces of Canada. It had at the last census of 1891
54.5 persons to the square mile, while Nova Scotia, the next province in
density of population, had at the same census only 21.8 per square mile.
The population of the island at the census of 1891 was 109,078, the estimated
population at the present time being about 1 20,000. There is scarcely a
foot of land in Prince Edward Island not capable of cultivation and the soil
is uniformly rich. This natural advantag-e, coupled with the endowment of
a temperate climate and regular rain falls, has made the province famous-
as an agricultural and stock raising country. The Island horses, cattle and
sheep not only command a ready sale in the other provinces of Canada,
but are in continually increasing demand in the United States where
they are highly prized for their sound health and fine qualities. One
writer calls it the Arabia of America in respect of its splendid horses,
and another speaks of it as the Ireland of Canada in praise of its cattle
and dairy products. Among other agricultural products, the Island
oats and potatoes are famous throughout America and the West Indies for
their excellence, the foreign demand for these products being steadily on
the increase. The hay crops are also celebrated, being produced from
indigenous clover and grasses, and it is to the high quality of these crops that
the superiority of the island live stock is largely due. The fishing interests-
of the Island are also important, its position in the Gulf giving it great
advantages for the future development of its marine resources. The value
of the fish taken by P. E. I. fishermen in 1897 was $976,125, of which
$494,281 was exported to foreign countries. The total tonnage of vessels
engaged in the coasting trade of the Island in 1897 was 1,209,602, being-
nearly as large as that of New Brunswick. The principal fish caught are
mackerel, herring, cod, hake, lobsters and oysters. The annual take of
lobsters is about 22,000,000 in number, and of oysters abo'ut 26,000 barrels,
the P. E. I. oysters — especially those of Malpeque Bay — being esteemed
the finest in flavor of any on the Atlantic coast. The park like scenery of
the Island, and its even temperature and charming summer weather are
year by year attracting tourists and health seekers to the province from all
parts of the continent. Prince Edward Island had in 1897 467 public
schools with 332 male teachers and 247 female teachers and a total of
21,845 pupils. In the same year it had 406 post offices through which
passed 1,330,000 letters, 190,000 post cards, 36,500 registered letters,
34,500 free letters, 185,000 transient newspapers, circulars, etc., 2,850-
parcels, and 9,431 money orders, besides papers from offices of publication.
Prince Edward Island is represented in the Dominion Parliament by four
senators, and five members of the House of Commons. Its local govern-
ment is carried on by a single house, the Legislative Assembly, having 29
members. Capital, Charlottetown.

A plunger in advertising stands about te
same chance of coming to grief as does the
plunger on the race-track, and the indisputa-
ble truth that there are a few who have suc-
ceeded by this method is the exception that
proves the rule. Advertising is as sure to
pay as the sun is sure to rise, but it must be
the right amount of the right kind in the
right place.

PROVINCE OF MANITOBA.
Manitoba, popularly known as the prairie province, has a land area
of 64,066 sq. m., and a water area of 9,890 sq. m. It is celebrated for its
rich agricultural land, and is especially noted as a grain raising province.
Twenty-five years ago almost the only products of the province were furs,
but its prairie lands, over which the buffalo roamed but a few years ago,
are being rapidly settled by immigrants from the older provinces and from
Europe. When Manitoba became a province of the Dominion in 1870, the
total population was only 11,963, of whom 10,400 were half breeds and
Indians. The census of 1891 showed a population of 152,506, and the
present population is estimated at over 300,000. In 1882 the province had
65 miles of railway, and at the end of 1898 this was increased to 1,755 miles.
The total acreage devoted to cereals in 1897 was 1,958,025, being an
increase of about 15 per cent, over the previous year. In 1897 there were
18,261,950 bushels of wheat raised ; 10,629,513 bushels of oats ; 3,183,602
bushels of barley, besides other grain and root crops, while the live stock
in the same year was estimated as follows ; head of horses, 100,274; cattle,
221,775 ; sheep, 36,680 ; swine, 74,944. During the past few years dairy-
ing and stock raising have developed very rapidly. The minerals of the
province have not been developed, as yet, but large deposits of salt
and petroleum are known to exist near Lake Winnipegoosis, while rich
beds of iron ore underlie the country around Lake Winnipeg. The num-
ber of public schools in the province in 1897 was 1,068, having 1,197
teachers, and 39,841 pupils. There are also collegiate institutes at Win-
nipeg, Portage La Prairie and Brandon, having on the rolls a total of 818
pupils. At Winnipeg there is a Normal School for the training of teachers,
having 101 pupils at the short session and 143 at the long session. In 1897
there were in Manitoba and the North-West Territories 790 Post Offices,
through which passed 9,950,000 letters, 1,075,000 post cards, 295,000
registered letters, 232,000 free letters, 1,405,000 transient newspapers,
circulars, etc., and 66,866 money orders. Manitoba is represented in the
Dominion House of Commons by 7 members, and in the Senate by 4 sen-
ators. The local government is carried on by a single Legislative Assem-
bly, having 40 members. Capital Winnipeg.
For information regarding the newspapers of the province see other
parts of this zvork.
The electoral Divisions of the local legislature are given as counties,
they taking the same place as the counties in the older Provinces.

NORTH WEST TERRITORIES.
The four organized territories of thes Canadian North- West have ar>
area of over 500,000 square miles, divided as follows ; Assiniboia, land
area, 89,340 sq. m., water area 1,000 sq. m.; Saskatchewan, land area
108,000 sq. m., water area 6,000 sq. m.; Alberta, 99,255 sq. m.; water area
745 sq. m.; the Yukon, 196,300 sq. m., water area 2,000 sq. m. This is
exclusive of the Mackenzie Basin, Ung-ava, Franklin and Keewatin, terri-
tories of large extent, but almost unexplored and undevelopped. It was-
only in 1886, that the little known region lying between Manitoba and B.C.
was marked off into districts with a provisional government corresponding
to the Crown colonies of Gt. Britian, but it is only the matter of a short
time when these districts will become provinces of the Dominion. The Act
creating these districts gave the Dominion government the essential
attributes of sovereignty, not only over these territories, but over the entire
domain of British North America, so large a part of which is still waiting"
exploration and settlement- A census of Assiniboia, Alberta and Saskat-
chewan, taken in 1885, gave the total population of these districts as
48,362, of whom 20,170 were Indians, the district of Athabasca being
almost wholly inhabited by Indians. The census of 1891, showed the
population of the territories to be 98,967, and if the rate of increase is.
continued for the present decade, the population will be over 175,000 at
the next census. Within the last few years these territories have become
celebrated for their wonderful productiveness in grain and stock-raising,
the winter climate having proved much milder than those accustomed to
corresponding latitudes in the East would imagine, owing to the influence
of the Chinook winds and other causes. The mineral wealth of the-
Territories in coal, gold, natural asphaltum, petroleum, etc., has already
been proved to be immense, and it only requires railway communication to-
open up these vast resources. In 1885 there were 59 organized school
districts in the territories, but in 1897 they possessed 386 public schools,
and 8 separate schools, the former having 455 teachers, and the latter 15.
The total number of pupils was 14,576. The postal statistics of the Terri-
tories are included in the official returns for Manitoba. The North- West
Territories return 2 senators to the Dominion House and 4 members to the
House of Commons. For all the territories together except the Yukon,

BRITISH COLUMBIA.
British Columbia, the largest of all the provinces of the Canadian
Confederation, has a land area of 382,300 sq. miles, and a water area of
i ,000 sq. m., being more than the combined areas of France, Italy, Belgium
and Holland. All the great natural features of the other provinces are
here reproduced on a magnified scale, the great prairies of the North-West
alone excepted. It has a greater variety of climate than all the other pro-
vinces, for while the upper slopes of the Rockies are as cold as Labrador,
the southern coast is so warm that oranges have been ripened in the open
air. Its wonderful coast line of thousands of miles, embracing hundreds of
harbors ; its unrivalled fisheries ; its stupendous forests, many trees of
which measure from 8 to 10 feet in diameter ; its incalculable wealth in
those minerals which are the most valued by, and most necessary to, man,
and its peculiar geographical position on the Pacific Coast, all mark out the
province as one of the imperial realms of the future. The wealth of British
Columbia in minerals can as yet scarcely be calculated, for tracts of country
thousands of sq. miles in extent, are as yet untraversed by the prospector,
and many regions known to be rich in minerals can not yet be reached by
railways. Among the minerals mined or exported to a greater or less
extent are gold, silver, coal, iron, copper, galena, mercury, cinnibar,
platinum, antimony, bismuth, molybdenum, plumbago, salt and mica, while
many other minerals are known to exist. The coal of the province ranges
from common lignite to anthracite, and most of it is admirably suited for
steam purposes. The steamshipping trade of the whole American coast of
the Pacific is now looking to British Columbia for its coal supplies. Within
the past year the vast coal beds of the Crow's Nest Pass have been tapped
and have been proved to be excellent steam coal. For the 12 years pre-
ceeding 1874, the exports of coal from British Columbia averaged 12,500
tons per year, but they have developed since then till in 1897 the exports
were 679,751 tons, the total production of the same year being 988, 796 tons.
The coal bearing areas so far explored are 65,000 sq. m. in extent, the
•quantity underlying portions of this area being estimated at jour and a half
to nine million tons per sq. m. Gold is found in greater or less quantity all
over the province, but the mines of the Kootenay and Cariboo districts are
becoming prominent as quartz mining regions, while the Cassiar and Atlin
Lake regions are now being exploited for placer mines. The gold produced
in British Columbia in 1894 amounted to $530,530.00, while since the
development of quartz mining, the production has gone on at such rapid
rate that in 1897 the amount produced was $2,724,657.00 and this last
amount will probably be doubled in 1899. The population of British
Columbia in 1881 was 49,459, but in 1891 it had increased to 92,767, and at
the present time it is estimated at about 200,000. In 1897 there were 213
schools in the province with 223 teachers, and 6,332 pupils, besides these
there were 27 graded schools, with 149 teachers and 9,005 pupils. There
were also 4 high schools, with 12 teachers and 461 pupils. British Columbia
has 293 post offices, through which passed in 1897 4,850,000 letters, 505,000
post cards, 142,000 registered letters, 148,500 free letters, 460,000 transient
newspapers, circulars, etc., and 77,991 money orders. The province is
represented in the Dominion Parliament by 3 senators, and 6 members of
the House of Commons. The local government is carried on by a single
chamber, the Legislative Assembly having 33 members* Capital, Victoria.

NEWFOUNDLAND.
Newfoundland, the oldest colony in the British Empire, embraces the
Island of Newfoundland and a portion of the Labrador coast of the main-
land, and is the only part of British North America not as yet included in
the Dominion of Canada, though proposals for confederation have at various
times been made, and will no doubt be consummated after the French shore
difficulty is settled. The area of the island is estimated at 40,200 sq. m.
and the Labrador coast at 120,000 sq. m. The population at the census of
1891 was 202,040, including- Labrador. From its settlement in 1614 to a
very recent time the fisheries have formed practically the only industry of
the inhabitants, but the building of railways, and the exploration of the inte-
rior, is leading to the discovery and development of hitherto unknown
resources that will give a steadiness and balance heretofore lacking in the
commerce of the island. In the whole island less than 100,000 acres are
now under cultivation, but there are are considerable tracts of land fit for
hardy cereals, and northern fruits such as apples, and efforts are now being
made to bring these lands under tillage. In minerals the island has copper,
coal, iron, gypsum, sulphur, graphite, lead and asbestos. The chrome iron
mines of the colony, recently opened out by means of the railway are of
high grade, and the ore is meeting with a great demand in the United
States, Canada and Europe. In 1896 iron pyrites to the amount of 36,496
tons were exported, and copper ore to the amount of 64,672 tons, valued at
$483,814.00 were exported in the same year. Out of a total value of
$6,638, 187. oo of exports in 1896 $5,649,766.00 were offish and fish products.
In 1895 there were 2, 339 vessels on the shipping register of the colony, with
a total tonnage of 108, 180 tons and of the whole population no less than
53,502 persons were engaged in fishing. The total attendance at the colle-
ges, academies and schols, in 1896 was 34,557. There are 846 post offices
in the colony, but statistics of this department are not available. The
government is carried on by a Legislative Council, consisting of 15 members
and a Legislative Assembly of 36 members. Capital, St. John's.
For information regarding the newspapers of the province see other

A. McKiM & Co., NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING AGENCY, MONTREAL.
THE BUSINESS OF ADVERTISING.
Written for the Canadian Newspaper Directory, by
Mr. J. P. McConnell. The writer of this article
knows whereof he speaks. He has been the
advertising manager of the " Slater Shoes,"
and is now in charge of the advertising depart-
ment of The Kennedy Co., Ltd., manufacturers
of " Semi-ready " Clothing.
This is not written to convince the reader of the value of advertising
but for the purpose of being of some possible assistance to those who
already believe in advertising as a good business proposition.
Before beginning to advertise it is necessary to first know what you
are to advertise. I am not one of those who believe that anything may
be boomed into profitable popularity by advertising. It must have merit,
and superior merit at that, especially if it is to compete with other adver-
tised articles.
The advertiser should be able to gauge the field for his article. If it
is something in every day use so much the better. If it is something
forming part of the great popular necessities of life, with distinctive
features of its own, then it will probably be a bonanza if properly placed
on the market and efficiently advertised.
Of course it must not be forgotten that many new things have been
introduced and a demand created for them by advertising — things which
the public never knew they wanted till they heard of them through adver-
tising. Likewise the trade in lines which have been on the market for
years, and familiar to thousands of consumers has been rejuvenated and
doubled, trebled or quadrupled by an agressive policy of advertising.
Having decided what is to be advertised and a definite plan for market-
ing the goods decided upon, the next consideration is the preparation of
the copy for the advertisements. It is often right on the threshold that
the advertiser makes the mistake which marks his ultimate failure.
Good copy is a prime requisite. Not smart sayings, or even expert ad
writers' stuff will sell goods unless the ad gives good and sufficient reasons
for the public using them. For this reason I believe that a good salesman
would write better ads than nine out of ten of the so called ad experts, if
he would write as he talks when selling the goods. The expert's services
may be valuable in condensing and putting into attractive shape what is

said, but mere words never did and never will make a success of any
business. Reasons, information, descriptions and prices are absolutely
essential for ads which are intended to sell.
It is surprising how people want to buy. But before they buy they
want to know something about the goods ; want to know why Jones'
stoves are better than Smiths ; want to know how much they will cost,
in fact they are just as inquisitive outside the store as they are in it. The
man who can write information that anticipates all possible kinds of ques-
tions is a good ad writer.
Literary style is only a secondary consideration, and nothing but plain
statements of facts expressed in such a way that they carry conviction
of their truthfulness should be the only style tolerated in advertising
matter. Originality and arguments attractively put are nevertheless desi-
rable if the business of the ad is not forgotten.
The expert usually has a better knowledge of setting, illustration,
media, etc., and the advertiser on a large scale really needs his services.
But the advertiser should keep a watchful eye on all the advertisements.
One of the most successful business men I know, who manufactures a
large quantity of a certain advertised line of goods, cannot write a line of
advertising, but he is the most accurate judge of a good ad I ever met
simply because he never loses sight of the consumer and always judges
the possible effect of the ad on the reader not by its smartness or " style ' '
but by the force of its reasoning, and this should be the point of view
from which the advertiser should watch the expert's work.
The setting of the ad is next in importance. No single style can be
recommended, but it is safe to say neatness and dignified plainness should
mark the setting of ads. Borders may sometimes be used with good
effect but I prefer a border of white space on most ads. Not more than
three faces of types should be used in any ad. The illustration is also
important. In most cases an original drawing that illustrates either the
article, some particular feature or some argument in favor of it should be
used. For this reason the really effective illustration will most likely
have to be an original one. Avoid stock cuts or illustrations from
"syndicates." Not one in ten of these will ever be found available.
Above all don't attempt to write an ad to fit the cut. Such ads usually
sound hollow and strained. It pays to go to the extra expense of original
cuts especially if you are using any number of papers. For ordinary
newspaper work the line drawing will be found the most effective.
Select your engraver. Watch his work too, give him time enough
to etch his plates so you won't find lines missing in the printed ad.
It will generally be found advisable to have a printer set up the ad,
and afterwards have it electrotyped. From the electros any number of
stereos may be made but care should be taken to preserve the original
electros for future use.
Before all this has been done the prudent advertiser will have looked
up a reliable advertising agency and secured rates, circulation, etc., with
an estimate of the cost of a campaign.
The media to be selected will of course be newspapers. No other
form of publicity is so effective or economical. After the first tew ads

THE CANADIAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY. 209
have appeared in the newspapers there will be a steady stream of solicit-
ors for all kinds of schemes. My experience is that not one in a hundred
of these schemes is worth investigating. In fact, many of them are down-
right swindles of a very brazen kind. The best way to floor a " scheme "
is to select a newspaper of known circulation and rates, figure what you
can get in it for the money you are asked to put into the " scheme." It
will be an eye-opener to you. For instance : A plausible gentleman
presented to me a proposition to take space in a monthly. The circula-
tion was claimed to be 1,000, with a possibility of half that, but for the
sake of argument we'll allow it what it claimed which means that if the
statement of circulation were true that my ad would reach in the course
of a year 12,000 readers, most of which would of course be duplicated.
The price asked ($50.) looked cheap enough, but here is how cheap it
really is when figured out. With $50. I can go to either one of two dailies
in Montreal with a known circulation of over 50,000 and buy say 1,000
lines, more than equal to three full columns. So with this one insertion
I could reach more than twice (probably four times) as many people, in
a ten times more impressive way. Or I could divide the 1,000 lines in
four equal instalments and reach over 200,000 people, and use approxi-
mately the same sized space as the page in the monthly. By using
these four ads in one week I would cover nine or ten times the
ground and results would be immediate if at all, while in the monthly I
would have to wait a year for all the ads to get to work. Reasoned on
this basis, I don't believe one scheme in a thousand will stand. The
same will apply in buying regular newspaper space though it is the
experience of all advertisers that the higher the circulation of a paper the
cheaper it is in proportion to the service given. The papers of smaller
circulation must charge more in proportion as the cost of publication is
higher per thousand in the ratio of difference between their circulation
and that of papers with bigger lists. Most anything, including news-
papers, can be manufactured more cheaply on a large scale than on a
small one. ~.
The possibilities which may suggest themselves to a new advertiser
from the above comparisons are not to be over-estimated in placing
advertising. There are pitfalls which beset the beginner and which if not
carefully watched and thoroughly understood will result in squandering
an appropriation with no perceptible results. The question therefore of
placing the advertising becomes a serious one. I believe the easiest, most
economical and thoroughly satisfactory plan is through a reputable and
established advertising agency.
If the advertiser has had twenty or more years experience in buying
newspaper space he will find he has not been a day longer at the business
than he needs. If he understands all the intricacies of rate cards, of
position, discounts and the peculiar regulations, no two offices being alike,
he is partly qualified to place his own business.
If he can secure the rates, command the influence and obtain advant-
ages which only the man who places big business continually can, then
he has another qualification.
A. Mi KIM & Co., NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING AGENCY, MONTREAL.
210 THE CANADIAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY.
If the advertiser has a staff of assistants trained to check his ads, to
give instructions and see that they are carried out ; if his business is large
enough to warrant this kind of a service, he still lacks a good reason for
placing his business direct because he can get all this service with the
lowest rates for space, for nothing.
If however he lacks any of the above facilities he has good reasons
for placing his business through a reliable agency.
On the question of rates I am tolerably certain that no advertiser
gets lower rates than is given the best advertising agencies, in fact, I am
conversant with cases where the direct advertiser has paid double what
the agency does for his clients simply because he lacked information
which only the agent was in a position to know. In this country, at least,
the newspapers recognize the business brought to them by agencies
as worth paying for, and allow an agent's commission, as by right they
ought. In many cases the advertiser is developed by the agency which
if it devolved upon individual newspapers would seldom be done on
account of the expense as compared with returns. The expense of
developing an advertiser for a dozen papers by an agency is no greater
than for one paper but the paper would often find it expensive business
to get.
The agency's commission covers all the office expenses of placing the
business of a hundred clients, and the profits. Thus the agency can place
at the disposal of the client its full office equipment of assistants, system
and experience without a cent of cost to him.
While recognized by the publisher as his business getter, the
agency, in order to conserve its own interest must see that the advertiser
gets the very best service obtainable as on that largely depends successful
advertising and upon success depends the future increase or continuance
of the clients' business. It is less expensive to keep the business of estab-
lished clients than to be continually compelled to develop new ones. I
have dwelt upon this point because the agency's status has been consider-
ably discussed of late, and I wish it to go on record that I thoroughly
believe in the principle of placing business through a reliable agency. Of
course, there are agencies and agencies— but that's another story.

The following extracts from letters
on A. McKim & Go's files, go to show
their standing with the newspapers.
They like intending advertisers to
write to any of their clients or to any
Canadian publisher regarding their
methods of doing business.
I desire to add my warmest appreciation and thanks for the uniformly
kind and meritorious treatment to the " Free Press" by you, and the
very prompt and equitable settlements made by you in our dealings
covering a period of over fifteen years, without a single omission.
OTTAWA. ONT., FREE PRESS.
We shall always be pleased to consider any offer you may have to
make for advertising, as it is always pleasant to do business with you
when the prices are right.
ST. JOHN N.B., GLOBE.
There is no one we like better to do business with than A. McKim &
Co., but we must have some sort of rate.
VICTORIA, B.C., COLONIST.
I have concluded to take the ***** advt. at the price you offer
not that I desire it or any other at that price, but it is in consideration
of the amount of business we do with you and the promptness with which
payments are made, making it a pleasure to do business with you. I
would not do it for any one else.
NAPANEE, ONT., BEAVER.
It is a pleasure to do business with those who are so prompt and
satisfactory in their remittances as you are.
Hoping for a continuance of your patronage.
TORONTO, ONT., WEEKLY SUN.
We like your style of doing business very much, but as our circula-
tion has trebled in the past two years we think you should be willing to
give us better rates.
BERLIN, ONT., RECORD.
In justice to ourselves we must say that of all agencies you are the
most correct and regular, and we do not wish to appear as grumblers.
VANCOUVER. B.C., NEWS ADVERTISER.
Such promptness in remitting is a boon these times. Wishing you
continued success.
LONDON, ONT., FARMERS ADVOCATE.
A. McKiM & Co., NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING AGENCY, MONTREAL.
212 THE CANADIAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY.
We are taking your advertising at lower rates than those of any other
agency, because we are better satisfied with your system of paying.
CHATHAM, N.B., WORLD.
Your dealings with us in the past have been very satisfactory.
DURHAM, ONT., GREY REVIEW.
This low rate has been quoted to you from the fact that you are
prompt in checking up and on this account you deserve some considera-
tion.
ORILLIA, ONT., NEWS LETTER.
After some experience in dealing with unreliable concerns we have
decided that it is better to take matter at a low rate from a good house
than at a high rate from a poor house.
WOODSTOCK, N.B., DESPATCH.
Accept our thanks not only for the promptness of your remittance,,
but as well for the trouble spared us of rendering account.
WOODSTOCK, N.B., CARLETON SENTINEL.
I have never given this rate or its equivalent before and would do so-
for no other firm.
PICTOU, N.S., COLONIAL STANDARD.
For your very prompt payments and really easy settlements I offer
my very best thanks.
OSHAWA, ONT., REFORMER.
We like to do business with you because you pay all your agree to.
The fault we find is that you don't agree to pay enough.
COATICOOK, QUE., OBSERVER.
You can send the advts if you think best, the rate is smaller than I
like but the payments are very satisfactory and the matter unobjection-
able.
PARRSBORO, N.S., LEADER.
Your favor received with cheque in full for account. Accept thanks
for your prompt settlement. This is one of the pleasures of doing
business with you.
SHERBROOKE, QUE., RECORD.
Extract from editorial.
We have heard strong ""objections raised by some confreres of the
press against legitimate advertising agencies. While the rates they offer
are low, there is some satisfaction in dealing with people when there is
no question as to pay. The most satisfactory firm we know of doing
business in Canada, is Messrs. A. McKim & Co., of Montreal. They are
obliging and courteous, prompt in reply, and treat publishers like white
men when one visits their offices.
We do not propose in future to deal with strange advertising fakirs
except on a spot cash basis. If a reputable firm wants to place advertis-
ing, it is well to do it with a reputable agency like Me Kim's, and the
McKim's can look out for their money. Through such agencies we will
accept our outside business in future.

The Leading Newspapers
of Canada.
There can be no more reliable
index to the conditions of intellec-
tual life and the prosperity and
advancement of a country than is
afforded by its newspapers. A com-
munity possessing and sustaining a
great daily cannot be other than
enlightened and progressive for
where the standard of intelligence
and of aggregate wealth is not high
such a paper could not exist. Not
only, therefore, is the existence of
great newspapers an assurance of
the general prosperity, but from a
study of their growth and charac-
ter can be accurately guaged the
distinctive features of the national
life. A press, the moral tone of
which is healthy bespeaks a simi-
larly healthy condition of society in
the constituency to which it appeals,
whereas a contrary attribute would
not only be baneful in its influences,
but denote that the public taste was
already corrupt.
In Canada, fortunately, the gen-
eral tone of the great metropolitan
dailies leaves nothing to be desired.
There are, it is true, proportionately
fewer great representative news-
papers in the Dominion than in the
Republic across the border, but these
few are conspicuous in their impor-
tance and influence far beyond the
comparative populations of the two
countries. An illustration of this
fact is best afforded by the Montreal
Star, whose circulation has increased
with such strides during the last
few years that it now stands recog-
nized to be without a competitor
in the Dominion. And this can be
admitted without any disparagement
to the other newspapers of the
country, for the Star's circulation
and prosperity are so phenomenal as
to put it beyond the reach of anta-
gonism or even jealousy. A daily
circulation of over 51,000 and a cir-
culation for the weekly edition of
more than 100,000, while the total
English - speaking population, in

THE CANADIAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY.
men, women and children, of the
city of publication (Montreal) is not
over 65,000, is something so unpre-
cedented as to excite a wonder
which, were it not for the convincing
logic of open circulation books,
would verge on incredulity. Its
explanation lies in the fact that the
reputation of the Star as a news-
paper has become so great that its
reading clientelle has far exceeded
the usual confines of a newspaper's
contituency, and embraces not only
the entire Dominion but extends
also into the neighboring States of
the Union.
Naturally so great a result has
been the outcome of business meth-
ods of the soundest nature, and it
is probably not too much to say
that the Montreal Star can teach
the greatest papers of the United
States and Canada much that is of
vital interest to the advertiser and
to the advertising agent. The ac-
tual circulation of the paper is
printed from day to day, and through
this best of all means the Star says
to the advertiser : ' ' That . is what
we are selling you. Before paying
for it, check it, and see if you are
getting it. If not, don't pay."
The Montreal Star is to-day the
largest one-cent paper in the world,
without any exception. Recently
it celebrated its Jubilee year. It
had something to celebrate, too, for
the Daily Star's circulation had
risen to over 51,000, and the Week-
ly Star's to over 100,000. This
circulation — and it is a point worth
noting — is among the best people of
the country, that of the weekly be-
ing amongst the sturdy yeomanry
of the provinces. On this occasion
of its Jubilee the Star received con-
gratulatory messages from .scores
of prominent papers in this coun-
try, Great Britain and the United
States, and from prominent adver-
tisers the world over. Among the
papers from whom messages were
received were the following :
The Toronto Mail, Ottawa Cztf-
zen,Q\.\.awa. Journal, Halifax Herald \
Ivondon, Ont. Advertiser, New York
World, New York Journal, Boston
Globe, Boston Herald, Philadelphia
Record, London, Eng. , Daily Mail ',
and Leeds, Eng., Mercury.

it is no disparagement of great papers like the Toronto "Globe" and

GENTLEMEN, —
It gives us great pleasure to give our testimony as to the wonderful result
producing power of your paper. We, as you know, are and have been large adver-
tisers in all the leading Ontario papers, having used both the condensed and display
columns of nearly all the dailies in the Province.
We are therefore in a position to speak comparatively of the merits as advertis-
ing mediums of the newspapers in Ontario, and we most unhesitatingly say that The
News has been for our business by far the best medium. We have used your "want"
columns with wonderful success, and your display columns very extensively, and with
equally good results.
We do not wish to depreciate the value of other mediums, which we are, and
have been using, but we think it but fair, to let you know that for the purposes of our
business, The News is certainly the best advertising medium, and we have tried them all.
Yours truly,
THE R. S. WILLIAMS & SONS CO., LIMITED,

THERE are one and a half million of people in the
Province of Quebec, the region of which Montreal is
the centre.
There are 300,000 in Montreal and suburbs alone. Montreal
is the largest city in the Dominion — it is growing.
The French-Canadian of the Province of Quebec is one of
a ruling race. The popular idea about him is wrong.
He is not a foreigner. He is one of the people — he is
the people.
Eighty per cent of the inhabitants of the Province of Quebec
are French-Canadians. They are an intelligent, well read class
of people. They transact most of the business and hold most
of the offices in the Province. They have supplied some of
the best men in the Dominion.
The French-Canadians are not a colony — they are a nation.
They have a grip on the country that it will be hard to loosen.
For the advertiser to attempt to reach this large and in-
fluential people through the English papers in Canada is folly.
They are French, and they read French literature, French
books, French papers. Why, the French language is recog-
nised in Parliament. The minutes of all proceedings and
debates are printed in both French and English. A speech
in the House may be made either language. Court records
are kept in the same way.
Naturally, therefore, the French-Canadians support a num-
ber of French newspapers, and a knowledge of these is a
"sine qua non" of the advertiser who would be seccessful in
the Province of Quebec.
" LA PRESSE" of Montreal is the French paper of Canada.
It stands head and shoulders above all the rest.
It is probably the most progressive French paper in the world.
It has applied American business methods to French journ-
alism.
It stands on a little pinnacle of its own.
The field which " LA PRESSE" covers is Montreal city
first to a very large extent; also, Quebec, I^evis, Ottawa, Hull,
St. Hyacinthe, in fact, all the large cities of the Province
of Quebec.
A. McKiM & Co., NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING AGENCY, MONTREAL.
THE CANADIAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY. 265
There is no other medium in Canada which so thoroughly
covers the Province of Quebec as " LA PRESSE."
To-day the actual average circulation of "LA PRESSE"
is over 66,200 copies daily. The Saturday edition is about
70,000 to 85,000. It prints no Sunday edition.
"LA PRESSE" Building is a handsome six-story struc-
ture on St. James Street, Montreal. The paper is printed on
four Goss Duplex presses. It employs 200 hands. It owns
and uses ten Mergenthaler typesetting machines. Also a
complete photo-engraving plant. It requires thirty patent
wagons to make deliveries to city agents only.
It is a success.
It is an influential and valuable advertising medium. Every-
body who knows anything about Canadian advertising knows
that this is so.
The French-Canadian is a pow^r in the land. He cannot
be ignored. He makes a good customer. It might be well
for the advertiser to go after him through " LA PRESSE."
The advertiser has a right to know the circulation of the
paper he patronizes — " LA PRESSE " is ready to prove —
Our books are open to each advertiser, and a written
guarantee accompanies every contract, if so desired.
There is no other paper in Canada which affords such facil-
ities of proving circulation as " LA PRESSE."
" LA PRESSE " IS THE LARGEST DAILY IN CANADA
WITHOUT EXCEPTION, FRENCH OR ENGLISH.
The circulation of "LA PRESSE" is larger than that of
all the other French Daily newspapers in Canada put together.
The circulation of "LA PRESSE" is larger than that of
any French newspaper published in America.
Thousands of satisfied advertisers have testified to the ster-
ling qualities of "LA PRESSE" as an advertising medium.
We have no agents — write direct for rates.

TORONTO, CANADA,
S AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM is easiest estimated by the
voluntary expression of those who have used it continuously for years.
TAKE THESE AS A SAMPLE OF HUNDREDS OF OTHERS THAT CAN BE GIVEN IF
WE HAD THE SPACE AND YOU HAD THE TIME TO READ THEM.
You are well aware that we have been quite extensive advertisers for the past half century,
and that among the mediums we have consistently and continuously used during that time
The GLOBE has taken a foremost rank. It goes without saving that we should not have
continuously used the Daily and Weekly Globe as a medium did not we consider that it
catered to a large and widely scattered constituency which it is our desire to reach. To epi-
tomise, we would say in a few words, that we consider the GLOBE one of the best advertis-
ing mediums in Canada.

Your Mr. A. C. McPhee has asked us to send you our expressions of your paper, and in
doing so, would say very briefly we consider "The Globe" one of the best, if :.ot the best,
advertising medium In Canada. The fact that we have increased our contract the coming
year* over previous years would be an indication of what we think of the value of "The
Globe" as an advertising medium.
Mr. Norman G. Ellis, Sec.-Treasurer, writes:— We take great pleasure in writing you to
State the results of our advertising in your paper, especially for our Christmas trade. As you
know, we contracted for a page in your illustrated Saturday edition ; the result in actual
returns that we could trace to this "ad" simply astounds us. We might say that our cash
returns from this particular "ad" were five times greater than we ever expected, and we
attribute our exceptionally large increase in December to the results of our advertising in
your paper, and would on no account let our contract expire. Hoping that you can do as
well for your other advertisers as you have done for us, believe us to 1* steady advertisers in
The Globe.
Mr. John N. Lake writes :— I think it is only fair to say that, while I have been advertising
for nearly thirty years as a real estate dealer, I have always found The Glot>e one of the best
mediums to reach the public. But oflate I have had special reason to praise your paper. I
had a special piece of property for sale, also a patented article suitable for the fanners. I
advertised an equal number of times in 51 different papers, all professing to reach the parties
desired, and got more inquiries from Globe readers than all the others combined.
Mr. Hunts. Advertising Manager of Columbia Bicycles, says:— We are well pleased with
our advertising in The Globe this year, and selected your publication because inquiry and
observation led us to believe that The Globe was one of the best advertising mediums in
Canada.
M
Tohn F. Taylor. Sec. -Manager, says in his letter of June 6th,
es for advertising we prefer The Globe.
S:— Of all the large
We hove -always included The Globe in our list for Canada, now some twenty years, as we
have always known it to be one of the leading papers i if the Dominion.
We hold newspaper advertising to 1* the strong arm of success in making and holding a
business similar to ours ; hence, we have used The Globe for such purpose continually for
years, deeming its circulation the largest in its field, and its constituency of the best.
If you wish to use this interview so as to state that "we have received from one catalogue
ad. in The Globe more mail replies than from any other morning paper in Canada " you may
do so, for it is a fact, to which I cheerfully subscribe. — J. P. McConnell, Adv. Manager.
The above is enough to convince the thoughtful advertiser who
wants results that every copy of The Globe is like a well directed
bullet, it hits the bull's-eye and scores.
THE DAILY GLOBE COVERS THE RICHEST FIELD IN CANADA AND AS AN
ADVERTISING MEDIUM HAS NO EQUAL IN THE DOMINION.

As to the relative values of the different
classes of general media, I may say briefly
from my own experience that we have found re-
ligious papers to bring the best returns. These
papers are read by people who prize them very
highly, and who read them thoroughly. Nine-
tenths of these papers are read by paying suo-
scribers. I have often wished that the secular
weeklies had the same strong hold upon their
readers. But they do not. They are read very
little in a thorough manner. People buy them
for their caricatures, etc. They do not have
much of a subscription circulation. Theirs is
mostly a news-stand sale.— The Quaker Oats

the columns of

The only Weekly Agricultural Journal
in Canada.
WITH IT
IS INCORPORATED
M
The Ontario Agricultural Gazette
The official organ of the Dominion Cattle, Sheep, and Swine Breeder's Associations,
and of the Farmers Institute System of the Great Agricultural Province of Ontario.
It is read by every officer and member of these important Associations,
comprising the leading stock raisers of the Dominion and by more than 10,000
prominent farmers and their families as well.
No other medium can give its advertisers as good
results for the money expended and this is proved
by the testimony of many of the leading manufac-
turers and dealers in farmers' supplies in Canada.
Send for copy of their testimonials — or better still
write to them direct for information. Their names
will be furnished cheerfully on application. Kates are
exceptionally low for the service rendered. Full in-
formation as to circulation, rates and territory covered
will be given to prospective advertisers at any time.
Address :
It covers the whole ground
Farm, dairy, orchard, garden, opiary,
poultry, etc., from the preparation of
the soil, on feeding, breeding and
management of the stock, the sowing
and growing of the crop to the mar-
keting of the products as a final re-
sult. For 17 years Farming has main-
tained its characters as the Canadian
Farmer's business p_aper and is read
by him for its practical value and not
for pastime. Hence, its advertise-
ments are looked for and eagerlj-
read by every one of its subscribers.

A Journal for Business Men.
In considering the advisability of Advertising in
the MONETARY TIMES, it should be remembered that
this journal reaches in many instances, both the
dealer and the consumer.
No other trade publication in this country has so
large a list of subscribers. No other is sent to so many
different post offices. No other reaches so many dif-
ferent classes of business people, and no other is read
by so desirable a constituency.
We are honest in making these claims.
Our representatives have visited most of the cities,

gPEAKING of the LEADER AND RECORDER
the Toronto World says :
"THE LEADER AND RECORDER,
published at Toronto Junction, has lately
developed into a first-class county paper.
It contains the latest news from all parts
of York County, and gives special prom-
inence to the events of the large district
that comprises suburban Toronto. Typo-
graphically it is one of the best exchanges
received at this office. It ought to be of
special value to Torontonians who have
interests in the County."
IT COVERS YORK COUNTY
[HE LEADER AND RECORDER represents the amalgama-
tion of seven York County newspapers : The Recorder, esta-
blished Jan., 1889 ; The Leader, established Dec., 1893 ; The
Woodbridge News ; The Schomberg Gazette ; The York Observer ;
The York Gazette and the Mount Albert Observer. The business is
the largest of its class in America, and embraces four printing offices,
seven business offices, and more than one hundred agencies, all in the
large, rich and populous county of York.
Eight editions of The Leader and Recorder are published weekly,
namely : Toronto Junction, Weston, Woodbridge, Schomberg, Deer
Park (York Township), North Toronto, East, Toronto and Mount
Albert. Advertisements appear in all these editions.
The Leader and Recorder has a field peculiarly its own and acknow-
ledges no equal as an advertising medium in the district covered
by it.

Does it all ...
If j'ou want to tell the Druggists of Canada what you have to sell them and
why it is to their interest to buy from you, it is not necessary and it is not profit-
able to spend your money in circulars or letters, or through a variety of mediums,
when one publication does it all for you, an advertisement in the
"CANADIAN DRUGGIST"
reaches all the drug trade throughout the whole of Canada.

The population of the town of St. Hyacinthe and surrounding suburbs
numbers more than 15,000 souls and that of district which comprises 3 counties
exceeds, 75,000 inhabitants.
The Courrier of St. Hyacinthe
whose circulation is considerably more than all the Journals published in the
district, offers advantages seldom equalled for its modesty of prices and for
the varied class and number of its readers.
In effect the district of St. Hyacinthe is a center given up almost exclu-
sively to Agriculture, to the making of Butter and Cheese. Farming implements
and everything that is necessary to the achievement of Dairies and Cheese
factories find here a good market, always on the increase.

admitted by all critics to be the most up-to-date paper, in both style and
matter, that is published in Manitoba. It has few, if any, equals in any
town of similar size anywhere. The Press is a Peerless Paper. It has
a capable editor and manager of a quarter of a century's experience in
Newspaper and Job Printing work in city and country offices, devoting his every
talent with energy and enthusiasm to his work. What makes such a paper a possi-
bility in a place like Neepawa, with less than 2,000 population, is the compact settle-
ment of well-to-do and intelligent English-speaking farmers surrounding the town
into the homes of every one of whom the Press goes regularly, twice a week, giving
them more local news in each issue than any of its provincial contemporaries do in
their tardy once-a-weeks, besides an extensive summary of the world's news com-
piled up to the day of publication. Thus the Neepawa Press satisfies the reading
wants of the farming and working classes, by giving them eight pages of general
news and advertising more promptly and in better form than city weeklies, and
much cheaper and more suitable than the dailies. Its advertising columns are ex-
tensively used, and those who do so judiciously get good results. Rates are $too per
column per year for home-print pages, and $50 for ready-print pages, for once-a-
week insertions ; or $150 per column per year for home-print and $74 for ready-print
pages for twice a week. Sample copies sent on application ; but don't waste time

proof. Our mailing list can be, seen on applica-

Star in the rural parts adjacent to Sault Ste.

A Superb Advertising Medium is
The St. Thomas Journal
JAMES S. BRIERLEY, Publisher.
The EVENING JOURNAL is the pioneer daily of
St. Thomas, the capital of Elgin County, and a
City of 15,715 inhabitants, situated in one of the
most thickly-settled and prosperous parts of
Ontario. St. Thomas is the most important rail-
way centre in Western Ontario, the lines of the
Michigan Central, Wabash, Grand Trunk, Cana-
dian Pacific and Lake Erie & River passing
through it. The shops of the Michigan Central
and Grand Trunk employing hundreds of men.
are also located here. The assessors' returns of
1899 show an increase of 561 in the population,
and the City is still growing.
The railroads make tributary to St. Thomas a
very extended tract of rich country that The Eve-
ning Journal thoroughly covers. This edition
goes in hundreds of copies each night to the fine
thriving towns of Simcoe, Tilsonburg, Glencoe
Dutton, Rodney, Delhi, Aylmer, Ridgetown, West
Lome, Alvinston, aud scores of smaller places.
Thus it is that the circulation is perhaps the
largest in Canada, if not on the continent of any
daily published in a city of similar size.
By special deliveries, by stages, by railways,
and by the ordinary process of the mail, THE
JOURNAL is delivered every night to thousands
of people residing on farms and in the villages
and towns of the Southern Counties. Where the
Daily cannot be sent the Weekly is.
