The New Advertising. /.

Nowhere has there been given more
notable response TO the spirit of modern
Improvement than IN the advertising pages
of the current newspapers and magazines.
Advertising itself is noI new thing, hut it's
primitiveneSs of style was, until very re-
cent times, markedly persistent trait OF
it. In colonial papers, copies OF which
survive, We are struck with the limited
space given up to business announcements
and the few businesses represented The
chief ones were the merchants the book
sellers, and those OF the losers OF bound
out servants and slaves. The proprie-
tary medicine man had not then arrived,
aud the wars OF the sarsapariIlas and tho
baking powders were unknown
Modern invention, too. had not in our early
time the thousands OF things 10 now has TO
eSploit-from pianos and bicycles to q
Dultitude, beyond the power OF name, of
smaller things. There were no pictures
on the page to speak Of, except those of
the runaway apprentice with PACK upon
his back, ami a reduced house or ship,
none OF which was larger than a postage
stamp or small unrabricated Initial
How this paueity OF features is now all
within the memory of men not vet OLD
who are now living. A look at any mod
ern newspaper or magazine shows today
that the advertising pages bear quite lit
erary and artistic product They were
once barren, unattractive waste They
