ADVERTISING, like everything else, should be
conducted on methodicsl principles, and, to provo
effective, by those whose experience and attention
to that special calling make them adepts-noS in
a spssmod;c manner and by thoughtloss people,
For instance, superficial advertisers are apt to
SUPPOSE that only papers claiming large cir1ula-
ton arc the ones on which to btatow their favors,
ignorant of the fact that in some cases such
journals do not WELD an influence in proportion
to their largo issue. They are also liable to lg
more tho fact that many good papers, laying no
claims 10 extensive circulation, and whose adver
Using rates are reasonable, in numerous instances
provo the most lucrative in which to place adver-
tisements, as they circulate among the very class
of people it is desirable to reach-who resd every
thing in their fsvorite papers, advertisements not
excepted. Now the sveisge business man, espe-
cialy if no be a roVice in advertising, is not sup.
posed in eve,y instance to know just where to b.
stow his fsvoIs in order TO reap the greatest fruits,
and in assuming to DO his own judge in such a
matter is liable TO land often does make mistakes,
aud il he be an extensive advertiser his inexpc-
rience msy bring about a serious miscarriage,
Hence the utility of reliable advertising agencies,
when conducted by gentlemen who have made
the effectiveness OF advertising a study. and who
keep themselves informed in regard to the circu-
lstion and irfluence Of every newspaper in the
country. They csn at any moment tell their
pstrops where advertisements are likely to do
them the most good. George P. Eowel Co, of
New York, h lave given over 8 quarter OF a cen'u-

Messrs. howell d Co. are now publishing a neat
little periodical entitled Printers Ink, which
