An Advertising Firm.-The Worces.

year paid about one thousand dollars for
aduertisinp their goods, and are salitied
that by this outlay, they have received
rich harvest in return.
We have no doubt Of il. There never
yet was as instance where advertising was
literally resorled to, that did not result TO
the advantage of the advertiser. Some
folks appear to think that because they
cannot see the money expended for this
purpose actually running back into their
pockels, it is like. giving it away. We
pity such rarrow minded views These
people should know that The secret of adj
vertising consists in letting the public
know your whereabouts, what you have
10 sell or wish 10 buy, &c. Of course
this will not make that public patronize
you. but i. will draw their attention to-
wards your establishment, and if they call
as mosl probably they will, some of them
at least, and find you accommodating and
your goods desirable. they will, in nine
cases out Of len, make purchases; where
as if you had not advertised, these same
people would not have known that there
was such person as yourself in the world.
Time was when the antediuVian notion
that advertising was not beneficial had
some apology it, Lnl times have changed
ard. he who now expects 10 mount the
ladder of prosperity and independence
must change with them or be content to
remain at the bottom. The surest way
in this world to get rich is to ADVERTISE
