The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1886-03-25

millinery signs in the parlor, clawing

hanging out the washing in the back
yard.

From long article on the subject of
newspaper advertising, published in the
Chicago News, the following is taken:
ITO stop advancing is but to begin re-
treating, said famous general, and so,
in the business world, to stop pushing is
the beginning of decreasing trade. How
best to push is the question, and to this
there is but one answer-advertise. Every |
kind of work intended to introduce or sell |
goods is in some sense advertising. Meth
DDS of advertising are numerous, but
among them all none yet devised seems
capable of producing the results which
may reasonably be expected from wise
personal solicitation. Individual CORE
spondence, no doubt, ranks second in eff
ficiency, but both of these methods re-
qure a knowledge by the seller of
the name and address of all prob
able buyers. Such knowledge is so
limited that thorough and economical per-
sonal work is necessarily confined TO IL
comparatively narrow field, and, therefore,
fails to accomplish large results. Next in
value Is the newspaper announcement. In
city and country alike it penetrates every
nook and corner, reaches all classes, and
carries with it an unconscious, irresistible
and vet constant influence. No other
method of advertising can be so far
reaching or effective if this is properly
done; none more extravaganza or fruitless
than this if it be improperly done. Pos
sibly no matter of such vital import
ance to the business world is so little I'M
derstood as newspaper advertising. In
advertising steady, thoughtful, persistent
work tells. Spasmodic, impulsive adver-
Using is rarely profitable. Do not neglect
the dealer, but work especially for the
consumer Create a demand among those
who use your goods and the dealer will
seek you. Make plans carefully, but when
made stick to them, and in time success
will follow. An ever-changing policy will
| inevitably result in failure.
Houston Age.
Mrs. Giles, of Austin, is in the city and
will see what amount of substantial inter
est the people of Houston take in estab-
fishing home for the destitute and
infirm Texas confederate soldiers. She
brings with her testimonials of her own
personal worth from the most prominent
men in the state, and her mission is one
that appeals SO warmly to the benevolent
and patriotic impulses of our people, that
we are sure she will meet with nothing
but warm hearts and liberal hands.

The above is the sum and substance OF
some of the newspaper opposition to A.
w. Terrell for the United States senate.
Terrell has always been one of the best
and strongest friends the laboring classes
, of this country have ever had. He has al
ways championed their rights and pro
tected their interest. The civilization
and material progress of Texas was sci
