Advel Using and Advertising Agencies.

We believe that it has come to be an almost
universally accepted maxim in the world Of com
merce and trade that intelligent and judicious adj
versing is one of the first requisites to success in
business. So fully recognized has become this
fact that the wisest of the largest of the large
manufacturers and merchants quite invariably,
now, intrust their advertising business, which TO
be properly executed would of necessity consume
much of their time and attention, to advertising
agents. men who have made study of the best
methods, and are fitted by training and expert
ence to select the most advantageous channels for
obtaining the public notice and interest. In the
large cities of the country are found numerous
agencies of this character, some of them conduct
ed by gentlemen of real culture and marked bust
ness ability, and upon a marvellous scale Of eX-
penditure and receipts.
Prominent among those houses in New York is
the firm of Bates & Locke. who are very centrally
and conveniently located on Park Row, at the
corner of Beekman Street. Mr.. Bates, of this
firm, has enjoyed long and varied experience in
the art of advertising, while Mr.. Locke has at
tanned a national celebrity by his frequent con-
tributions to the humorous literature Of the day
as "Rev. Petroleum V. Nasby," and is practically
acquainted with the newspaper business by his
long proprietorship of the Toledo Blade. Both
gentlemen seem exceptionally well fitted for their
business, and, combining their attention chiefly to
the larger and better class of newspapers, may
fairly claim the best facilities for promoting the
interests of their customers, large and small
