1t is generally acknowledged that the fore
sight Of the executors and their attorney,
Chas. F. Richards. Esq, in advertising the
sale in the Journal thus giving hundreds of
people, who never see poster an oppor-
tunity to read a description of the lands very
increased the prices. This fact
should be lesson to business men, and
clearly demonstrates the value of newspaper
advertising.
