EFFEST OF ADVERTISING. Richard Dale,
Of this city, recently inserted single adver-
tisemenE in the RECORD. UNION concerning
his monthly musical catalogue, and which,
he says, appeared in no other paper. The
result Of the notice was the receipt of so
large plumber of inquiries and orders that,
in the fullness Of his satisfaction, he ran
against tbs elbow Of 8 nsws.gatherer and ex-
pressed his due appreciation, saying that in
addition to extended calls from parties Ia the
city, rssulting from his advertisement, nu-
merous letters were being received, not only
from all the coast States and Territories, but
also from the East, extending in one case as
far as Chelsea Vt. That IS carrying business
beyond the centsrs of Eastern competition,
but Sacramentsns viii do such things. Year
by year the area of trade Of our merchants
and business firms is steadily extending, and
while il cannot be expected that the influence
of their thrift and enterprise will be felt much
beyond the Rocky Mountains, except in
special products Of this coast and the Orient,
the fast-increasing population Of this great
Western empire will continue to be more and
more supplied from this natural distributing
point-the head Of navigation and railroad
center.
