The Literary echo, and Pawcatuck advertiser. [volume] (Westerly, R.I.) 1851-1854, 1852-09-02
Fortunes Made by Advertising.

From a small pamphlet, entitled "The
Art Of making Money" an extract has
been taken, and Is going the rounds of
the provincial press, pointing out the fa-
cility of making immense sums by the
simple process of continuous advertising.
Doubtless large sums have been, are,
and will be made by such a system by
persons of ability, who no doubt would
make their way in the world if called
upon to play different parts on the great
stage of life. Undoubtedly the greatest
man of the day as an advertiser is Hol-
loway, who expends the enormous sum
of twenty thousand pounds annually in
advertising alone his name is not only
to be seen in nearly every paper and
periodical published in the British Isles,
but as if this country was too small for
this individuals exploits, he stretches
over the whole of India, having agents
in all the different parts of the upper,
central, and lower provinces of that im-
mense country, publishing his medica-
ments in the Hindoo, Oordoo, Goozra-
tee, and other native languages, so that
the Indian public can take these Pills
and use his Ointment according to gen.
eral directions, as Cockney would do
within the sound of Bow Bells. We
find him again at Hong Kong and Cam
ton, making his medicines known to the
Celestials by means of Chinese transla-
ton. We trace him from thence to the
PHILIPPINE Islands, where he is circulat-
ing his preparation in the native Ian
guages. At Singapore he has large
depot: his agents there supply all the
Islands in the Indian Seas. His adver-
tisements are published in most of the
papers at Sydney, Hobart Town, Laun-
ceston, Adelaide, Port Philip, and in
deed in almost every town Of that vast
portion of the British empire. Return
ing homeward, We find his Pills and
Ointment selling at Valparaiso, Lima,
Calico and other ports in the Pacific.
Doubling the Horn, we track him in the
Atlantic-Monte Video, Buenos Ayres,
Santos, Rio de Janeiro, Bahia, and Per-
nambuco he is advertising in those
parts in Spanish and Portuguese. In
all the British West India Islands, as
also in the Upper and Lower Canadas,
and the neighboring provinces Of Nova
Scotia and New Brunswick, bis medi-
cines are as Familiarity known, and sold
by every druggist as they are at home.
In the Mediterranean we find them SELL
ing at Malta, Corfu, Athens, and Alex
andria, besides at Tunis and other por-
tions of the Barbary States. Any one
taking the trouble to look at the Jour-
maP and Courier of Constantinople,
may find in these, as we'll as other pa
pers, that Holloway's medicines are reg
ularly advertised and selling throughout
the Turkish empire and even in Rus
sia, where an almost insurmoutable bar
rier exists, the laws there prohibiting the !.
entree of patent medicines, Holloway's
has been at work, and obvia-
tes this difficulty by forwarding supplies
to his Agents at Odessa, port situated
on the Black sea, where they filter
themselves surreptitiously by various
channels, into the very heart of the en-
pire. Africa has not been forgotten by
his indefatigable man, who has an agent
IN the Piver Gambia; also at Sierra
leone, the plague spot of the world, tho
inhabitants readily avail themselves Of
he Ointment and Pills; thus we can
how to our readers that Holloway has
made the complete circuit of the globe,
with India, and ending, as
We do, with the Cape of Good Hope,
where his medicines are published in the
Dutch and English languages and while
peaking of Dutch, we have heard that
e has made large shipments to Holland
nd he is about advertising in every pa
er or periodical published in that king
ON we might add that he has also
tarted his medicine in some parts Of
rance in some portions of Germany;
8 also in some of the Italian states.
