The Abuses of Advertising.
1t Is gratifying to note that sone
progress is haang made In the crusade
against that species of advertising
which desecrates attractive pieces Of
architecture and notable passages Of
natural scenery by plastering them
over with nnsightly and vulgar signs
and placards. It Is, however, not -
our credit that such crusade is neces-
sary. The need Of vigorous warfa1e
against this sort of advertising La dem
onstrated In almost every section q
the country. ~ one can scarcely -
anywhere that these offenses againet
good taste do not meet the eye. ThdH
are on the tallest buildings of the cities
and detract from the choicest pieces df
rural scenery. The approaches to al
most every city and town are made IN
attractive by them. L., .,1
A conspicuous example Of the desc
Grafton Of natural beauty and grande1r
has been the placarding Of the historic
Palisades Of the Hudson, near New
York. with advertisements of real e.
tate. merchandise and patent med-
cines. Happily public sentiment has
been aroused against this particular
ofrense, and it has In the main BEEN
discontinued. This Is but one Of tbs
thousands of grand passages of scen-
cry that have been despoiled by the
sign writer's inartistic and vulgar
brush which ought to be stopped.
Where there exists law, state or munis-'
ipal. it should be evoked speedily ami
effectively to put an end to this species
Of vandalism. In the absence of legal
remedy it should be combatel with a.
aroused and enlightened public sentd-
ment. The owner of property, whethsr
in city or country, who allows It to be
made the medium Of this particular va
riety Of. public ofrense ought to be
made to feel the effect Of public disap-
prevail. ~5
The spirit which prompts publicity N
the matter of business Is Of course ~
be commended, but better results can
be obtained through advertisements
placed in the columns of established
newspapers and other legitimate publ
cations than in the resort to that form
Of scenic Dissertation which is offensive
to public taste and against which the
public Is beginning to make vigorots "
protest. ~
