      I A PLEA FOR A UNIFORM MAGAZINE DAY . ' i : ' To the Editor of * The PublishersCircular : . }

      ' i , Sir , —In the midst of these hard times , especially in the book trade , it is incumbent on the part of \ \ everyone in the trade who is desirous of paying twenty shillings in the pound , to endoavour to keep down I !

      unnecessary expenses . I have frequently had to put up with a considerable amount of unpleasant remarks I from my customers , in consequence of the irregularity in the delivery of many of the monthly magazines I which are issued . Would you use your influence in ipducing the publishers in London and elsewhere to I

      issue their serials on or about the same day in each month ? If such an arrangement can be accomplished , you will easily understand the great boon it would confer on the provincial trade . The saving in carriage , ' commission , & c , would be a considerable item at the end of the year , besides the advantage of being able | to deliver all the magazines to order to customers in town and country within a reasonable time . I have I

      frequently to send to London half a dozen times before I can get my monthly magazine order completed . ! I 'C I assells may state , Tract there Society are several , Sunday firm School s in Londo Union n who , and are Isbister honourable & except Co . general ions to ly this manage complaint to issue : Messrs their . j j publications about the same day . Yours truly ,
