Why ADVERTISEMENTS ARE READ.
An observsnt person remarks that
"the public likes as we'll to read inter-
estiug matter 10 the advertising
columns as 10 the news columns"
There is nothing surprising about this,
since the facts which are advertised
have direct personal interest to the
public. The advertiser offers to the
people only suoh things as the people
need, and about the character and
prices of which they want information.
A persistent advertiser lie bound to win
the attention of all newspaper readers,
