Ingenious Advertising.

John n. Genin, the New York halter,
who died recently, was a great believer
in the benefits of advertising, and con-
stantly kept his name before the public
in some way. When Barnum brought
Jenny Lind to this country, the first
choice of seats in the house was to be
sold at public auction. Genin ran to
see Barnum and said: "Barnum. l
want the first seat sold, and [ want to
pay a good price for it. How shall |
manage it?" Send down couple of
your clerks with instructions to bid
against each other" was the reply
Fastening back to the store he called
his confidential clerk to one side and
said: How much, do you think, the
first seats to the Jenny Lind concert will
sell for?" about SO or $l5," was the
reply. "Well want yuo to attend the sale
with another clerk, and bid until it has
run up between $500 and $780," The
programme was carried out, and the
ticket was knocked down to the clerk
at 1925. "What Manner inquired the
auctioneer. "John n. Genin," was the
answer. Meanwhile the exuberant
crowd seized the supposititious Genin,
lifted him upon their shoulders and bore
him in triumph to Genin's store. The
news mad preceded the crowd, however,
and before they had reached the store
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1878-09-18

it was filled with shouting, exciting
mass of congratulating friends. Genin
was the hero of the hour. The telegraph
flashed the news over the country that
THE first choice of seats to the Jenny
Lind concert had been sold to John n.
Genin," and the deed was done Mr..
Genin made an arrangement with the
news editor of one of the morning
papers to clip out and hand to him
every article he could find in his ex-
changes IN relation to the matter. These
he carefully preserved, making a calcu-
lation at the regular rates of advertising
per line, until it had reached the enor-
NOUS sum of $50, GOO, when he ceased
longer to keep an account, quietly re-
marking to one of the doubling Thorn
asses who had questioned the wisdom Of
the advertisement, "See there! have
already in my possession over $500
worth Of advertising, for which | only
paid 1925. and don't know how much
remains to come IL"
