paid for the services, which was received and
receipted for, in The name or Woods, BY Gov.

a ADyEETIsING.-The benefits Of advertising
e do not seem to be approached in the West,
nor indeed in this country. The English are
the only people that understand fully the
e means OF extending their business. The Al
bany Journal in commenting upon this differ
! ence between English and Americas mer-
chants, remarks:
We have Just laid down a copy Of the Lon
don Times, with the feeling which that Jour
! nal lways aRakens in observation-disclosures at,
and admiration Of, the prodieioas extent to
y which ENglishmen, in the pursuit OF wealth
u advertise their business. The vaunted eLjto-
: rial ability OF the Times, is in our opinion
more than matched, upon more than one
! American newspaper. But its Advertising
" Supplement, and its own solid columns Of in
v fniteiy varied announcements, are a wonder
IS rs uneQuaIled in our journalism as it is char
q aeteristic Of the most systematic and success
full property -acqmrers on the face of the earth
Whatever an Englishman has TO sell he adver-
e tises The solid columns Of the London
e Times are a reflection of the industry Of large
It part of the British people.
Y Show US a newspaper whose columns are al
t all times crowded with new adveI tisements and
: we will show You a community alive with
: business and enterprise. The age is a moving
t one. A man that stands SILL in these "lattel
Il days. will in a short time find himself behind
It his competitors.
