! ADVERTISING SALES. Advertising sales oi
real and personal property by hand-hills was al
one time the best way of making them known.
! But that was before the day when everybody
read ;he newspapers. Newspapers have to a
great extent supplanted the posters, and when a
thing is TO be brought to the attention of every
! body il is advertised in the newspapers. For
/ every person who reads 4 sale bill posted in n
| country store, tavern or blacksmith shop, hum
dieG will read the same thing if printed in tho
| county papers. In advertising, the newspaper
possesses all the advantages. II goes into every
! family and is read in comfort and at leisure.
| The hand-bill is stuck up where it receives at
| best passing notice, and the majority who see
it do not read it at all. The newspaper is print
ed by thousands, and everybody reads il. OF
the handbllls twenty-five or thirty at most arc
printed and stuck up. The newspaper is the
cheapest and best advertising medium. Sales OF
personal property are best made known by hand
| bills ard newspapers both. As this is the season
! for sales We call attention TO the subject. The
AMERICAN offers special inducements in the mat
! ter of bills and advertising.
