The Benefits of Advertising

Here are few remarks, from the Wheeling,
Va, Times, on the subject of advertising, that
may be read with just as much profit by North
thern as by Southern men
A friend remarked the other day TO us that a
business that is "not worth advertising is not
worth doing" There is much truth in the re-
mark, but truth that does not seem to be appre-
cated by most of our business men. Many men
think to cease advertising is economy, that it
reduces expenses that if they have but little
business to do, it is not worth advertising; if
they do great deal there is no use of advertis-
ing. Is advertising less useful than insuring
Is it less useful than sign' Is it less essen
tial than good business stand' We think
not. A man does not buy his goods TO keep
them on hand. he did, it might be we'll TO
insure without advertising. Again advertising
is like travelling sign. No business man viii
hesitate to pay twenty dollars for sign, where
he would never think of paying half the sum
| for advertising. TIE one is sign seen only by
! those who pass the store, and can see the goods
| that are for sale as well as the sign. The ud-
vertscment is a comprehensive sign that comes
under the eye of hundreds who Will never see
the sign over the door, yet some pretend 10 ar
| que that because some men have done a cool
business without advertising, advertising is un-
necessary. They might as well argue that be-
cause some men have made money without in
dustry, industry is unnecessary.

SNUFF.

As snufi-taking is merely an idle, dirty habit,
practsed by stupid people in the unavaling en-
a custom particularly offensive to their neigh
bors. it may be left to each individual taste as
to whether it be continued or not. An "ele
giant" cannot take much snuff without decided
ly closing taste."
Doctor, said an old gentleman, who was an
nyerate snutf.taker, to a physician, "is it true
that snuff destroys the ol.iactory nerves. clogs,
and otherwise Injuries the brain! 7" at can
not be true" was the caustic reply, "since
Mose who have any brains nerer take any
snuff at all."
Sunbury American and Shamokin journal. [volume] (Sunbury, Northumberland Co., Pa.) 1840-1848, 1843-12-09
DRESS.

II is bad taste to dress in the extreme of
fashion and, in general those only do so who
have no other claim to dstnction-lcave it, in
these times, to shopmen and pckpockets. There
are certain occasions, however. when you may
dress as gaily as you please, observing the max
i'm oj the ancient poet, to be great on great oc-
r,sans." Men often think when they wear u
fashionable cut coat, an embroidered waistcoat,
with profusion of chains and other trnklets,
that they are well dressed, entirely overlooking
the less oblrusivc, but more certain, marks OF a
refined taste-The grand points arc-well-made
shoes, clean gloves, white pocket handker-
c!ict, and, aJove all, an easy graceful deport'
mcnt.
Do not affect sngularity in dress, by wearing
out-oflhe-way hats, or gaudy wastcoats, Nc.'
and 80 become contemptbly CONSPICUOUS no.
thing is more easy than TO attract attention in
such Il manner, since it requires neither sense
nor taste. 4 shrewd old gentleman said of one
of these ninucs," that "he t0oUtd rather be
le,oa fcra FOOL than not 10 be noticed al all"
4 dress perfectly suited to tall, cookbook
ing man, may render one who is neither rdic-
ulols az although the former may wear re-
mNrkabe waistcoat or singular coat almost with
impunity, the latter, by adopting a similar Gus
tom, exposes himselft to the laughter OF all who
see him. An unassuming simplicity IN dress
should always be preferred, as it prepossesse'
/ evarv ono in favor of the wearer.
Never affect the "rufiilnly' style OF dress
unless. as some excuse, you hold brilliant po
stion in society. A nobleman, or an exceed
ingy elegant and refined man, is sometimes
foolish enough to disguise himself, and assum
the "rufian," as it amuses him 10 mark tn su,
