of S. NJ. Pettengill & Co. commenced their
Advertising Agency in the old Journal
building, No. 10 State Street, Boston, near

l849), where their Agency is still located,
carrying ON large and successful business.
They established branch in New York
City, May 1852, which has grown to be
larger than the parent house-increasing
steadily, year by year, until now it has the
agency of nearly every newspaper in the
United States and British Provinces, and
does yearly business of hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. s. NJ. Pettengill g. Co.
have recently opened another branch Office
at 701 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, where
they are doing a successful increasing bust
ness They have done advertising exceed
inaten millions of dollars since common

know not only throughout this country,
but IN all parts of the world. They have
established reputation for honorable and
fair dealing which any firm might envy,
and but few have attained to. We con-
graduate them upon their success. We
would recommend all who want advertis-

upon them. They can point to hundreds
of business men who have followed their
advice, and trusted 10 their ssgacity, and
awaited themselves of their facilities, who
have made fortunes for themselves, and
