Advertising wW pay" 1t is astonish-
ing how readily the public ear can be
reached through the columns Of a ncwspa-
per. And, to show how many are reached
who take no paper we will state a little
circumstance to-wit: A few weeks since
we advertised in the VomG journal that
we had a mare and her mule colt which
we would trade for a good hoSse. Upto
this time we have received over twenty
applications for a trade, and Of the twenty
only two were subscribers to our paper.
But they all said, except two, they had
seen our little notice in the paper. The
two who had not seen it were told by soine
one who had seen it. We had sold our
mule, however, and, perhaps, sold too soon.
But one fact is patent: That the newspa-
per is, after all, the only general, judicions
medium for advantageous advertising. "A
thousand doors are open to welcome it a
thousand messengers are weekly seeking
the pest office to receive it; a thousand
families look for its coming, and ten thous-
anu lClu L "lSh IL h'N' >oh'S ~
mcuts and all" We will venture the as
sertion that over two thousand persons
read the Home Journal every week, and
it causes us to reflect seriously when we
write for it, that we may say nothing that
would have an injurious tendency. Ger
tain we are that one line in the paper for
the year is worth far more to an advertiser
than all the signs he could put upon his
house. The sign over a business mans
door does not 80 to the private residences,
the post offices and cross roads. 1t is not
mobile. But an advertisement in a W
paper goes to ALTO rich and poor-to Sc
cluded places and public places. 1t is the
ray of flight that pcnetrates into all corners
and places. Wise men will agree with
these views and it may be in helping Us
they will help themselves ten fold.
