The Art of Money-making.
What a Sensible Man basSo Say About
It.

In a recent lecture, Prof. 81. g. Eastman
said, on the subject of advertising, that
those who have been most generous in their
advertising, and thereby the nose success
full in business, had been stigmatized as
''humbugs" Was Barnum's Museum any
the less worthy after be successfully sdver-
tised it? Was the Ledger any better be-
fore Bonner bought out one days issue Of
the Herald, than it was afterWards2 Was
Stewards store any the less worthy Of pub
lie patronage, after paying $4,000 Ysar
for a man to advertise, when the paynsent
of that S22, 900 gave 100000 in return?
There is no such thing as ''humbug." A
man is either knave, charlatan, or else he
GIN be Classed among business men as q
man.
The proper way to advertise was to ad-
vertise one thing at time. AS for in
stance, sugar, sugar, SUGAR. People would
have their attention arrested by that one
word, and they would buy sugar. The re-
suit would be that large business would
be established. But if people would ad-
vsrtise all they had to sell they would not
succeed, because their advertisement would
not be read. This was so with every thing.
If you are dry goods merchant, silks or
some other article must be advertised, and
and business would follow.
The merchants of Europe beat as in ad-
vsrtising. They frequently spend $780,
900 per year for advertisements. A. 7.
Stewart advertised his cotton goods alone
all over the Union. Mr.. Bonner once went
to Mr.. Bennett, of the New York Herald,
and asked him if he could have three pages
in to-morroW's paper for his advertisement
of the Ledges. The answer was, yes; if
he would pay double price he could have
all he wanted, upon which Mr.. Bonner said
that he would take the whole paper. The
consequence was that the Herald, the next
day, had nothing but the advertisement Of
the Ledger in it. On one page in large let
ters,S it was stated that an article written by
Henry Ward Beecher would be in the Led
ger. and so on through the whole eight pa
ges. Mr.. Bonner did not advertise all be
had to sell. but only attracted attention to
the Ledger. People who wish to succeed
must use their brains; they must not de-
pend upon manual labor.
Advertise not ouly in the best place in
the paper, but in the best papers published.
Advertise only one thing at a time, and
take whole page for it; or, if advertise
ments are short, put them 10 the best place,
even if il costs four times as much. The
great advantage of having large column
advertisement in good place in paper
is that it covers other advertisements; peo-
pie cannot help seeing it. But advertise
ments must be frequent single adver-
tisement would have no effect They mus
be repeated till the name Of the advertiser
becomes we'll known. Never have a poor
job of advertising done. Cheap work new
er paid; get the best Job you can. Use the
best material that can be had, and have NJ
halfway work about it. Young men,
they wish to succeed, must advertise snC
continue to do so. Until success cTOWnI
their efforts.
