wonderful progress that Art has
made in this country during the
last quarter of century. 1t is
but few decades since, that those
who desired to beautify and adorn
their homes, were obliged to de-
pend almost entirely on foreign
artists. But such state of affairs
in this age of progress and i'm
provement 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 de-
mand for beauty, taste and refine
ment, and to-day our leading artists
are not surpassed by the leading
modern masters of Art in Europe.
Great Art publishing establish
ments have sprung mp, and by va
rious processes the finest and most
expensive paintings are reproduced
in all their elegance and beauty,
and at price within the means of
the masses. So that no one need
be without the refining influences
of beautiful pictures at home.
Among the progressive leading
Art Publishing firms of the coun-
try, we take pleasure in mention
ing George Stinson d Co., of Port
land, Maine they were among the
first in the business, and we can
only understand the colossal pro-
portions their trade has assumed
by remembering that this is great
and mighty Nation of nearly fifty
million people. We cannot better
illustrate the magnitude of their
business than to state the amount
of money paid by them for postage
stamps during the year 1876; we
have the figures direct from the
firm, or we should think there was
some mistake. They paid for
postage stamps, during the year
1876, thirty-three thousand one
hundred and four dollars and nine
ty-two cents, and, in connection
with this, it should be remembered
that only the small orders were
sent by mail, the larger going by
express and freight. George Stin-
son q Co.'S agents are to be found in
every State in the Union and Do
minion of Canada, and in every
county with scarcely an exception. |
Long since, this enterprisipg
firm recognized the value of print
er's ink judiciously used in adver-
Using, and they inform us that
without it they could never have
extended their business as it is to-
day, in three times the number of
years. A short time since they
paid in single day twenty-four
thousand dollars on a contract for
newspaper advertising. They evil
IDENTIFY long since found the road to
success and have neither turned to
the right nor the left. Three
things are necessary for eminent
success in business. First, stand
ard honest goods that the people
generally need and desire,-let
them be the best, whatever the line
IF business. Second, let your pri-
,es be reasonable-as low as posi-
Die. Third, let the people know
What you have, and what you can
10, by liberal and persistent adver-
Using, and you will ind low prices,
made known and proved, will bring
rade that will give a larger in
ONE than can be made in any
Their way. l. sae
