4 Journal for AQUertiscrs.

PRINTERS INK is just what it purports
to be, "a journal for advertisers" 1t is issu-
ed ON the first and fifteenth days of each
month and is the representative Journal.
THE TRADE JOURNAL, so to speak-of
AMERICAN ADVERTISERS. 1t tells the
intending and inexperienced advertiser in
plain, comprehensive articles how, when.
and where to advertise; how to write an
advertisement; how to display one; what
newspapers or other media to use; how
much to eXpcnd-in fact, discouIses on every
point that admits of profitable discussion.
If you ADVERTISE at all, PRINT.
ERS' INK can help you. Perhaps you
expend but Fen Dollars Il year in adj
vcrtlsing if so, PRINTERS INK may show
you how to obtain double the service you
are now getting for one-half the money.
A years subscription costs but One Dollar
a sample costs but FIVE cents. Advertising
is HI art practiscd by many but understood
bv few. The conductors of PR1NTETS'
INK understand it thoroughly. Surely their
ADVICE, based on an experience of more than
twenty-five years, will help you. Address:
