Corporations and capitalists keep posted by

affecting their interests; the attitude of the press;
public sentiment; attacks on general policies or
the acts of agents and subordinates; the work of
competitors, and particularly criticisms of rival

We have won success in mercantile lines, not

Comments by Business Men.
"We know that such notices often give us earliest information and
we are glad to receive them."—G. W. Simmons, Oak Hall, .
"We regard your Bureau as very valuable to all desiring quick and
correct information from a wide territory."—Woodbury, Moulton &
Stearns, Investment Bankers, .
"We take pleasure in saying that we are very much pleased with
your service, finding it very complete and prompt."—Bureau of
Information, General Electric Co., Boston and .
"We think your system of Press Clippings if thoroughly followed
up, is of value to those looking for new trade. In several instances
we were, by this means, brought into contact with parties who after-
wards became our customers."—Derby & Kilmer Desk Co., Boston.
"It gives us great pleasure to say that we find your Bureau a con-
stant source of valuable information, which it would be well-nigh
impossible to secure in any other way. At the risk of causing you to
increase the rates of service, we acknowledge that a single c[l]ipping
is sometimes more valuable to us than the entire cost of clippings for
a year."— & , N. E. Agents, Game-
well Fire Alarm Telegraph Co., Boston.
"We were one of the original subscribers to your Press Clipping
Bureau, and it gives me pleasure to state that the service has been
satisfac[t]ory in every respect. While perhaps a half of the squibs
which you send may be of indifferent value to us, we frequently
receive from you a clipping which alone is worth many times more
than we pay for it. Your service has not only been thorough, but
particularly prompt, it being nothing unusual for us to receive a clip-
ping from a distant paper within a few hours from the arrival of the
paper in Boston. We expect to be subscribers to your Bureau as
long as we two do last[.]"—, Advertising
