AS AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM

this paper stands without a peer. We refer to the many large advertisers who are our constant patrons. The following unsolicited testimonial from one of the largest advertisers in America is merely a sample of letters received almost daily. It speaks for itself.

OFFICE OF THE WELLS RUSTLESS IRON Co..
21 Cliff street, New York, Jan. 29, 1889.

The Southern Farmer, Athens, Ga.

     Gentlemen:-We beg to extend our thanks for the beneficial results accruing from our advertisement in your journal. In proportion to the cost it pays better than any medium we use. As an example; In less than one month after we sent you our two inch "ad" we sold to one of our customers two hundred and fifty dollars worth of our "Rustless" Wrought Iron Water Pipe. This customer said it was from seeing the advertisement in your paper that he was led to use our pipe. You may count on us for a larger card next season. Respectfully yours,

(Signed) WELLS RUSTLESS IRON CO.
