The Value of Advertising.

The value of advertising has re
ceieyed several striking illustrations
in New York City during the last
year an observer notes the fact that
three or four dry goods houses that
went into liquidation there last win
ter were the only ones of the greater
department stores that never adve-
tised in the newspapers. On the
other hand the great advertisers are
all experiencing great prosperity,
one of them whose failure was pre-
dicted having made 100000 and
admitting that his success was due
to newspaper advertisements in
which he invested heavily.
The results OF good newspaper adj
vertising are highly satisfactory to
those who spend their money in this
manner. One New York firm that
had new article to put on the mar
ket last winter and spent 100000
in newspaper advertising reports
that it has been compelled to refuse
to take any new business. The
orders came in II manner to almost
swamp the concern, although 1T has
capital and is a highly reputable
business house.
Those instances OF business sagac-
ity are we'll worth the attention of
the business world Intelligent adj
vertising in the newspaper brings
better returns than any other form
of advertising. Experience has
taught all of our most successful
merchants that it is necessary to
keep in touch with the public and
that the surest medium of communi-
cation is the newspapers. Printers
ink is a prescription to be recon-
mended to all merchants who expect
to be in the race for customers

A Chicago paper states that five

Speaking of what a newspaper
does fol its community, the late
United States Senator David Davis
of Illinois made an address that
forever remain, green in the mem
cries of the newspaper men. Said he:
each year every local paper gives
from $500 to $1,000 in free lines for
the benefit of the community in
which it is located. No other
agency can or will do this. The ed
itor in proportion to his means does
more for his town than any other
man, he ought to be supported, not
because you happen to like him, or
admire his writing, but because a
local paper is the best investment
a community can make. Today the
editors of local papers do more work
for less pay than any man on earth.
Patronize your local paper, not as
charity, but as an investment.
