Advantages Of Advertising.

Advantages OF Advertising.
The New York Tribune thus sets forth the
advantages of making ones wants known by
advertisements in q newspaper:
eff you want house, there is no need of
running all over the city, incommoding hun.
dreds of families by long list of questions,
or by overrunning their rooms If you want
q house, write brief description of such
one as you would like, and advertise it. You
will not wait long before the house will come
to you and thus you will save time, strength,
and annoyance to yourself and others.
eff you have house to let, o bill at the
door may be seen by hundred persons in
day; an advertisement in the Tribune will be
seen in the same period by hundred thou
and Therefore, advertise for nine out of
ten who want houses search the newspapers
first.
If you want q servant, advertise just as
you would for house, stating what quaiifica-
tions you require, etc. Then, instead of
hunting through the town, and getting a poor
stick at last, you may sit still, and select
from those who will Call upon you, the very
one you wanted.
eff you want place as servant, apprentice.
or journeyman, don't wander day after day
from house to house and shop to shop, but,
for the mere trife charged for such notices.
tell the whole world what you can do, and
where you can be found. Your days of idle
ness will soon be numbered. Men don't 20
about hunting up laborers; they look in the
papers, and save themselves the time and the
trouble of travel.
elf you want board. you need not stop at O
hundred doors to be told that they are full, or
climb unc0unted stairs to find that the room
don't suit. Advertise; tell what rooms and
prices and location you desire, and the next
day open your answers and take choice of q
dozen frst-rate places.
"Those who want boarders scarcely need
advice; they have long since ceased to depend
| upon friendly recommendations and door
piates but they might improve in their notices
| by more particular explanation Of their accom-
| modations, prices. etc.
eff you wish to sell more goods this year
| than you ever did before, advertise more. The
unparalleled success of those merchants and
traders who have kept their names and their
goods before the people, is lesson not to be
dlsregarded by any one who depends upon
public patronage for a living. The best Gus
toners are those who find out what they want
before they leave home, and these are the
ones who invariably look in the newspaper to
see where the article is to be found.
| "lf you want a steamboat or a poodle dog, a
thousand laborers or an Grant boy; if you
want anything whatever that you do not know
just where to find, or do not choose to run
after advertise your wants, and ninety nine
times i'll hundred you will be gladly served
at your door, far cheaper and better than by
any other known process.
1.-The daily newspaper is the estatlis led me-
dunn Of exchange between mind al mind in
| regard to nearly all the wants of HE, and its
usefulness is extending among all classes
with Surprising rapidity. Everybody reads
the morning paper, from the millionaire over
his coffee, TO the African who has just pol
ished lis fonor's boots-and no part of the
paper gives so fl esh, varied, and comprehen-
sive pictures of the city and the age as the
