BENEFITS OF ADVERTISING - The Toledo
Blade furnishes the following instance of the
benefits of advertising which is by no means
remarkable, but is nevertheless worthy of at
tention: "
"Some ten years since. when Detroit was
very little, if any, larger than Toledo, two
young men from the East, where the true
principle of advertising is better understood
than at the West, having taken store central
, ly situated, opened with the determination of
expending their entire profits, except rent
and clerk hire, for the first year, in advertise
ing and printing. They did so, expanding
about $l4O0. The next year they set part
half their profits for the same purpose, but
long before the year expired, the senior part
ner told the writer of this article that they
could not cxpend as much as they anticipated,
for the only reason. they could find no place
to put it.
Every paper in the State almost, contained
their business notices, while their handbils,
circulars, and cards were sea tered broadcast
In this way they have gone on expanding an.
nually about four thousand dollars, until their
business has so increased that they occupy ten
sale rooms, each 100 feet in depth by rs in
width. and giving employment to one hun
bred clerks. One of the partners told us that
their business the past year, amounted to
trlfle over million and half of dollars,
leaving them a net profit, over all expenses, of
over fifty thousand dollars"
