Newspaper Advertising.

Very many people who find them

rivals may discover hint as to the
cause by perusing the following:
The Wheeler e. Wilson Sewing
Machine Company says: Twenty
five years. experience has clearly
demonstrated the superior advantages
and economy Of newspaper advertis-
ing over all other mediums offered
for that purpose.
Messrs. Enrich e. Co., one of New
York's leading dry goods firms, says ::
Have what the public want. Sell it
with moderate profit. Advertise
largely in first-class newspapers, and
you are bound to do a trade. Let
the newspapers be the best you can
obtain no matter what it costs. 1t is
but natural that an advertiser must
in a degree share in and thereby gain
from the respect which reader en-
tertains for an ably conducted jour.
nal.
Messrs. Isaac Smiths Sons g. Co.,
the most extensive umbrella house not
only in New York, but in America,
makes this sentiment: If what you
lave to say be strictly true, say it in
q good newspaper. Its readers are
intelligent, will appreciate bargain,
and q every such customer you
make an advertiser. For forty seven
years nine tenths of our advertising
has been done on this plan, and Of the
whole expenditure, all that we regret
is the comparative waste on The other
