THE GAZETTE.
TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY IA.

MODES OF There is growing
feeling among business men that the scattering
of bills and cards about city and the plaster
ing Of walls and signboards with posters are
modes of advertising that do not pay for the
amount Of money they cost. Merchants and
dealers of all kinds have lately been considering
this subject and comparing the relative value OF
the two modes, and we think that the conclu-
sions of the shrewder of them are that ten dol
lars spent in newspaper advertising Will BRING
in more return than ten times as much paid
out in any other way. In the past few years,
spectators on the enterprise of storekeepers
and manufacturers have originated dozen
channels Of advertising, in which they have
tempted the latter to invest small amounts on
the prospect of large profits, but in the majority
of cases the advertiser has been egreglously
duped, and acquired by experience the knowl-
edge that the columns of a newspaper offer the
best security for attracting trade. The. pro-
prietors of patent albums, ledgers, gulde-books
almanacs, show-cards, directories. &c, who
offer to publish the announcement OF a business
house in something or other that shall have an
immense circulation among the people, and
thus by their assurances get the dollars OF mer-.
chants, are the only ones who are benefited by
the lob. Those who do their advertising in
this way find that it does not yield profit on
its cost, and they go back again to their estab-
lished custom Of awaiting themselves of the
medium Of daily journal with certainty that
there is no deception in its promises. The
truth that regular systematic, and judicious
newspaper, advertising is the only sure reliance
of any trade that must make itself known to
the public The agency is legitimate, and sure
to pay. The Theatre managers Of New York
knows this, and hence they have wisely resolv~
ed to guide themselves accordingly. The fact
isjust as potent here as elswhere, and dealers
who con6ne themselves to a well.establlshed
newspaper will find that they will invariably
hold the advantage over their competitors who
take to extraneous modes Of advertising. -Bdt-'
