1t is time that all business men should
understand that, with here and there a
special exception, the newspaper is par
excellence the only medium for advertising
that is worth their serious attention. The
newspaper is thing of life, visible fact,
sure of its circulation, certain to be read.
1t constantly renews its youth; daily or
weekly it appears afresh, containing many
old faces, making themselves constantly
more and more familiar, but holding also
fresh facts, the latest news, the last won
der; even in its gossip, it gives the mat
ter of its time and tells us what is alive
and moving, up to the very date it bears,
while its advertising columns show what
is being done in commercial circles, and
lays before its readers concise summary
of those new ideas through which money
is made by their fellows. As compared
with all other advertising methods its
charges are reasonable, and its promises
modest, and while the business man is
supporting it, he is, moreover, gaining
from it in more ways than he may see at
first sight.-RosoelPs Newspaper Reporter.
