Newspape- Advertising versus
Advertising Schemes.

Ever since the era of ADVERTISING
was inaugurated, business men If ail
classes have been made the victims of
q certain class OF men who, with flip
pant speech, and with q persistency "a
provoking US it would be admirable
in better cause, have persuaded them
to enter into their schemes. These
schemes are numerous, as many aL
advertiser can attest, and when we
weigh their influence in calm, i'm
partial manner, we shall become con-
vinced that they are sublime fraud
upon the tOO-lenient advertising pub
lie; and that the advertiser, whel
he has submitted to the imposition hos
literally thrown his money uway.
The schemesof these honey -tongued
and metal-yisaged gentry, who besieg.
the unwary advertiser ON every hand
and bore him into giving them an ad.
which the advertiser generally does
in order to get rid of him, ARE, as We
have heretofore mentioned, exceed
ingly numerous. There is the "prc-
gramme scheme, for instance, cum
ningly intersper'sed with stale jokes.

by OH those days when there chances
to be an unusual gathering in the
town or city, only to he glanced at fo,
the space of second, if at all, and
then carelessly thrown away to b.
trampled under foot. This is lecid-
edly II waste Of money on the part of
the advertiser.
Then, again, we have the hotel
register scheme, hotel card-advertis-
ing scheme, and the card-rack scheme,
together with other schemes too nu
merous to mention. Now, what the
honest advertisers want, aud, indeed,
what every advertiser in the land
wants, is the greatest return for the
amount O. money invested. In order
secure this there is but .one reliable
method, and that is the newspaper,
(for which there is o demand, because
Of its WORTHY. The American people
are pre-emjnently q reading people,
and of all the literature thrown broad
cast over the country, that of the
newspaper pred0minates and is che
most generally read. The people are
gradually being educated up to the
practice of looking into tho advertis-
ing columns of the newspaper in or
der to find where their wants can be
supplied. This being the fact, il A
patent to every sensible advertise,
that the place to display his wares If
where they will he the most likely G
he seen and read. In conclusion, then,
the advertiser, in order to receive :,
rich return for his Investment, must
seek the most reliable medium, which
is most emphatically the newspaper,
and the wise and judicious advertiser
will always reject every other
american Press.

TO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA.

PRESENTING TO YOUR NOTICE, FOR
i the fiji st time in an extended way, the +. F.
(FAMILY FATORITE) WEED SEWlNG-MA-
CHINE, we will state some of the reasons why
we think we are justified in claiming it to be the
BEST:
BECAUSE, before being offered to the people,
1t was tested by able sewing machinists, and by
them so pronounced;
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
Paris Exposition in 1867
BECAUSE, 1t took the first prize at the great
four weeks contest between sewing machines at
the Baltimore (NIaryland) Institute in 1867;
BECAUSE, it will do what any other first
class lock stitch will do;
BECAUSE, 1t will do what most Of them can
not do We say this without disparagement to
the merits of other machines;
BECAUSE, in the five years 1t has been before
the people, the sale has been SO rapid that the
company have been unable to supply the de-
mnnd, thus leaving Virginia and a great part OF
the country unsupplied; and last, but not least,
to give a woman's reason,
BECAUSE, it is just little darling" and SO
easy to learn.
Price the same as any other first-class machine
Sold on the instslment plap if desired.
Machines sent on trial and instruction given
free.

count of the great four weeks contest at Balti-
