countries in the matter of advertising.
Newspaper circles in Paris not long ago
were electrified by an advertisement of
an American patent medicine company
which appeared in one of their jour
nails for which II. 500 francs (S3. 5000 had
been paid. No such price had ever be-
fore been paid in France for an adver-
tisement, and the concern was looked
upon as a company of merchant adj
venturers." However. it has probably
opened the French merchants eyes to
the fact that perhaps that sort of adj
vertising pays. after all, as they now
seem to be paying larger prices for adj
vertising than ever before.
In America. $500 for an advertise
ment is an everyday affair. and year
or two ago a well-known company paid
$4,000 for a single advertisement to be
placed on the back cover OF the Christ
mas number of a certain paper.
One of the most novel feats OF adver-
Using in recent years was that accom-
plished by two young men not long ago.
They were sent out by a large concern
in New York. which provided them
with plenty of money and instructed
them to paint signs wherever American
travel was most frequent. all over Eu-
rope. They returned in about two years
and a half. In that time they used
about six tons of paint and $4,000 A
large portion of the latter had been
spent for space privileges These two
young men had been in nearly every
country in Europe, and painted signs
on the side walls of large buildings in
London. Paris. Berlin, Rome. Constan-
tinople, etc. They went through the
Alps, painting their signs in letters
twenty feet high on the sides of some
of the great cliffs which tower over the
roads and paths through those grand
mountains. Just imagine an American
traveller. far away from New York in
the heart of the Swiss mountains, who
should suddenly see ahead of him,

The second application was argued with the hrst

Mr.. Bamberger contended that there were funds

revenue bond sale and 100000 New-York City had
