NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.


Newspaper advertising is now recog.
nized, by business men having faith in
their own wares, as the most effective
means for securing for their goods wide
recognition of their merits.
Newspaper advertising compels inquiry,
and when the article offered is of good
quality and at fair price the natural re-
suit is increased sales.
Newspaper advertising is a permanent
addition to the reputation of the goods
advertised, because it is a permanent in
tluence always at work in their interest.
Newspaper advertising is the most en-
ergetic and vigilant of statesmen, address

vertiser's interest, and ceaselessly at work
seeking customers from all classes.
Newspaper advertising promotes trade.
for even in the dullest times advertisers
secure by far the largest share of what is
being done. While the advertiser eats and
sleeps, printers, eam-engines and print
ing-presses are at work for him; trains
are bearing his word to thousands of
towns and hundreds of thousands of read

at the message prepared for them in the
solitude of his office. No preacher ey3
