Efforts Appreciated,

It is seldom that a newspaper aampaign arouses such genuine enthusiasm and widespread inter- ent as this, and the Sunday Herald and China Mail feel greatly appreciative of the efforts of the candidates and the response which their friends have made.

In tangible results it may be stated that the Sunday Herald and China ad circulation has heen increased immensely, and that these newspapers now reach practically every home in the Colony. The service which a newspaper can render the adver- tion, and it is in the increased tiser is measured by its cireula- value of its advertising columns that the Sunday Herold and China Mail reap their gain from the campaign.
