II Is difncult to say whether the English are
behind or ahead OF the Americans In the art OF
advertising 1t Is commonly supposed that IN this
matter the Yankees lead the world; bat IN Lon
don the traveller secs some ideas that have never
been adopted In America and that he may well hope
never will be. For example, II Is the prevailing Gus
tom here to cover the outsldes Of omnibuses with
flaming advertising cards, In consequence OF which it
is not easy for a stranger to find the names which
indicate whittier the bus he may be looking ct Is
bound. II requires considerable practice to DO this
successfully at tho first attempt and the experience
is apt to make tho New-Yorker thankful that the
STREET cars Of his city are not used as TO thel
exterior as advertising mediums for mustard and bak-

Certainly no less restraint is used In the wording
