ESrERPRIsISG ADvERTISlSG.-lt Is surprising TO
witness the efforts Of some people al how not TO do
it" in the way of advertising. We have frequently
during past months bad thrust at u in the cars,
"TLe Stranger Guide Around New-York," little
lsnd-bi folded into the semblince Of Little book,
giving, or pretending TO give, directions TO hotels
and objects Of interest in the city, a. to induce
people to open and see the advertisement within.
How correct and fresh the information is may be
judged from the fact that the very first object OF
interest described, and how TO get to it, is the
Ciysa Palace, which ceased to be an object of in
tertst more tLan half year ago because it ceased TO
exist Broadway Theater il also pointed outas place
Of Amusement while description of it as place of
ruins would be more appropriate That has also
ceased to exit, while Burtons Theater," which Is
pointed out Us another place of amusement, has its
place among tie thiugs q past age. Do such ad-
veIiisers imagine that the one 10 thousand Of the
people into whose laps such document is thrown,
wlo chance to read it, will believe the goods to be
any more fresh than the information II they do,
they are tie only ones who will believe It. One
advertisement in daily paper, fresh in s appear
snce that it would not look Ike an old last year
ain anac would be worth ore to any advertiser than
a whole cart Load of such undressing "objects of
interest" "around New-YOrk."
