The following extract from News paperdom might have been written especially for the Columbian, so well does it apply. The circulation of the Columbian is of that class that brings steady and remunerative returns to steady advertisers. A large circulation of the right sort is generally desirable. A fairly repre sentative circulation, in the field sought to be covered, is essential to a good advertising business. Advertisers are not placing so much reliance upon circulation alone. They are adopting other tests of advertising value. They are looking for such definite returns as will justify the ex penditure of their money. It amounts to nothing to advertise in a medium that brings no returns, whatever its gross circulation may be, and some such sentiment is pretty sure to be embodied in the intelligent advertis er's reply to a solicitor's argument about the number of copies printed. It is only necessary to take a look over the newspaper field to be con vinced of the truth of the contention that it is character rather than mere size that makes a circulation valuable character of the readers and char acter of the paper.
