what a BostOnian Thinks.

The Adams (N " YiSitor speaks of an emf
nent BOstonian who regarded an advertise
ment in a newspaper as personal invitation
to call, and said: "While sometimes hesitate
about entering a store the ppOprietOrs Of which
have not thus sent their cards to my residence
/ always feel certain of cordial welcome
from the members Of an advertising firm"
The same paper adds: There is in this re-
mark an assurance OF one Of the many results
of advertising The trader and his calling be-
come Identified, and the name Of the man is in
separately connected in the mind Of the public
with his merchandise 1t may not be the very
day an advertisement appears that it bears its
fruit; weeks or months may eiapse, and then,
when the want arises, the ar iole TO be OBJ
tanned Immediately suggests the advertiser.
This is the effect of general advertising when
persistently followed. A special class of ad-
yertisements. where some novelty is announced
is more immediate. A shrewd business man
once advertised a trifiing article IN q manner
which could scarcely prove remUnerative. His
neighbors expressed their regret at his folly,
but he appeared contented. Though his gross
sales of the article did not cover the cost of his
advertising, he attracted new class of people
to his store, and his shrewdness paid him in
very short time, for new eyes saw what he had
to offer in addition to the specially advertised,
and new purses came under contribution to

THE New CRY ASSESSMENT The
Committee Of five 10 whom was referred
Che City Assessors book for the current
year, have completed their labors. They
have remodeled tho entire assessment, re-
ducing tho valuation .pon the city prop
srty proper about twenty per centum.
That the work of the Committee will
prove entirely satisfactory, can scarcely be
hoped; but when it is reflected that the
members have, without any expectation Of
compensation, devoted about two weeks Of
their time, honestly exercising their best
judgment, to the task assigned them, the
result should be accepted as graciously a.
possible by everybody.
We present below, in separate columns,
the original and corrected assessments Of
the city proper, which show an aggregate
reduction Of s37s,57o.
