The following from the Louisville
Courier, journal meets with our unre-
served endorsement Steamboatmen
are rather prone to growl at few dol
lars spent on advertising In newspapers,
whilst they pay ont thousands yearly to
land sharks whom they think can infiu-
ence freight and passengers. The best
way, we assure you, gentlemen, to reach
the public is through, first, the press,
and then regularly accredited steam
boat agents.
Look at the advertisements In the
Cincinnati Commercial of steamboats,.
See how they are always loaded. Look
at the advertisements in the Courier
Journal. See how the boats ain Z loaded
here. All, gentlemen, there's millions
in itP'-we mean judicious advertising.
