WHY DO YOU NOT ADVERTISE


Read the following sensible remarks
on advertising from the Proof Sheet:
Why is anything made public but
in the belief that it will be of interest
to others ? Why is it announced
that Isaac and Rebecca were married
on certain day last week but on
the supposition that it will give you
pleasure to know it? And then
lower on the sheet under the standing
head Of Deaths your eye runs along
always with apprehension lest it fall
on some well-known name, and reads
that the aged father, the young child,
the beloved wife, the rich, the poor,
the admired, the honored, the beau
tiful are gone; for is it not taken for
granted that the werld will respond
in sympathy to the incursion of q
common foe ? Read in this light,
the common advertisements which
crowd our papers, have a kindly
odor about them. Say not with a
a cynic sneer-as though you were
doubtful whether there was anything
honest in the world-when q store
keeper advertises his wares that is
all sheer selfshness for if it is pleas
ant for one to announce a fresh sup
ply of tallow and wool, hardware or
muslins, is it not just as pleasant for
one who wishes to know it. business
advertisements Waste paper =
You know not what you say. These
ships which are to sail for every
harbor in the world; those fabrics
which have arrived from every com
mercial mart on the earth, this iron
from Russia, tea from China, cotton
from Georgia, sugar from Louisiana,
do they not preach to us at every
corner of the street, at the entering
of the gates in our docks and in Gus
tom-houses, and exchanges sermons
on the mutual dependence of man
kind. ------..--.--.
