PHILOSOPHY OF ADvERTIsING.-A late
number of Chambers Edinburgh Journal, con-
tains very interesting article on the subject
of advertising in the public papers by an "Old
Tradesman." His ideas on the subject are GER
tainly worthy the attention of all who are anX-
ious for business, and are simply and briefly as
follows:-The first utility offrequent and regu-
lar advertising is this-there is at all times a
large class of persons both in country and town
who have no fixed places for the purchase of
certain necessary articles, aud are ready TO be
swayed and drawn TO any particular place,
which is earnestly brought under their notice.
Indifferent to all, " yield without hesitation
to the first who asks. Then in the country, a
considerable num5er of persons, who wish a
supply of them, naturally open acommuIica-
ton with that address. People in the county
are also liable to be favorably impressed by
the frequent sight OF the name in the neWspa-
per.
The advertising party acquires distinction
in their eyes, and thus they are led, in making a
choice, to prefer him. But by far the most
important effect of advertising IS one Of an
indirect nature, that conveys the impression
that the pretending or not pretending,
quackish or not quackish-is anxious for bust
ness. One who is anxious for business is
unavoidably supposed TO De an industrious,
attentive, civil person, VINO keeps the pest
articles at the cheapeast rate, does every thing
in the neatest and most tradesman like man
ner, and in general uses evsry expedient to
crafty AMI attract customers. People of
course like TO purchase under these cireum-
tances, and the system OF advertising assuring
them that such circumstances exist in this
particular shop, they select it accordingly.
Such are the opinions of the Old tradesmer
alluded TO, and they are certainly supported
by fact-for whenever an extensive or regular
system of advertising is prac tised, ian no back
drawing Or uncomfortable circumstance exist,
it is usually seen % be attended with a co4si-
derable share of sue Isl. One feature in the
philosophy of the subject must be carefull7
attended to. A faint and unfrequent system
of advertising does not acceed. ven in prop,
