ADVERTISING.
1t Has RevoIutionixed Business and
BeneGted Humanity.

H haB NeyOiutiOntzeu business and
Benefited Humanity.
Advertising is indeed one OF the great
developments of the age., 1t has reyo-
lutioniZed business and made it possi-
ble to accomplish in few years what
otherwise would have taken genera
tions to compass. Today the adycrtis-
er. through the medium Of the public
press, can Introduce his article to the
entire public almost literally at
bound. Such servant at the sellers
elbow has naturally made business
vastly different from what 1t was sew
oral hundred years ago.
1t Is no longer necessary, as 1t was
in previous generations, to confine
ones commercial transactions to q linn
tied area. In fact, the manufacturer
Of today regards the world as his field.
and there are quite n number Of pro-
prietary articles. widely and favorably
known In every quarter OF the civilized
world, which have been introduced dur
tng the lifetime Of their present pro-
prietors, who are men only In the
prime Of life.
Without advertising. by which 1t Ia
possible to reach and influence hun
dfeds or thousands OF persons simulta-
neously. such n result could not be ac-
complished In several generations. if
indeed 1t could be accomplished at all.
Nor has this advertising benefited the
seller only. II has brought to the
knowledge Of the buyer the hundreds
Of improvements and articles by which
life can be made moro pleasant, by
which the health can be preserved. the
palate gratitied, the intellect fed and
satisfied.
1t Is no cXaggcration to say that no
force has cOnduced more to knit the
world closely together nor made our
mutual interdependence more apparent.
"lt Is but the simple truth TO assert"
says recent writer. that the loss Of
the Information which the advertise
ments furnish would be one OF the
greatest imaginable mlsfortunes to civ
ilization."-Self Culture.
