Art Publishing.

Few people are aware Of the wonderful pro-
gress that Art has made in this country during
the last quarter OF century, Ii Is but few
decades since, that those who desired to beauti-
fy and adorn their homes. were obliged to de-
pend almost entirely on foreign artists. But
such a state OF affairs in this age Of progress
and improvement could not last long, with the
great American people. Genius from the East
to the West, from the North to the Gulf Of
Mexico on the south, answered the demand for
beauty, taste and refinement, and to-day our
leading artists are not surpassed by the leading
modern master OF Art In Europe.
Great Art publishing establishments have
sprung up and by various processes the finest
and most expensive paintings are reproduced
In their elegance and beauty, and at q price
within the meaps OF the masses. So that no
one need be without the refining influences OF
beautiful pictures at home
Among the progressive leading Art Publish
ing firms Of the country, we take pleasure IN
mentioning George Stinson " Co., OF Portland,
Maine /; they were among the FIRST in the busl-
ness, and we can only understand the colossel
= portions their trade assumed by remem be-
ting that this is a great and mighty Nation of
nearly fifty million people. We cannot better
illustrate the magnitude of their business
than state the amount OF money paid
by them for postage stamps during the year
1876; wehave the figures direct from the
hrm, or we should think there was some mis-
take. They paid for postage stamps dur
ing the year 1876, thirty-three thousand
one hundred and four dollars and ninety
two cents, (3S 10i,92) and, in connection
with this it should be remembered that
only the small orders were sent by mall the
larger go by express and freight. George Shn-
son Co. 8. agents are to be found ingevery
state IN the Union and Dominion OF Canada,
and in every county with scarcely an exception.
Long since, this enterpnsing firm recognized
the value of printers ink judiciously used in
advertising. and they inform US that without II
they never could extended their business az il is
to-day IN three times the number OF years. A
short time since they paid twenty-four thous-
and dollars (23,000, on a contract for
newspaper ADVERTISING They evidently long
since found the road to success and have Meth
er turned to the right nor the left. These
I things are necessary for eminent success m
business. First. standard honest goods that
the people generally need and desire-let them
be tue best, whatever the line of business.
Second, let your prices be reasonable-as low
as possible. Third, let the people know what
you have, and what you can do. by liberal and
persistent advertising, and YOU will find low
prices, made known and proved, will bring
trade that will give larger income than can be
made in any other way.
