NEW ADVERTISING DODGE.
Real Signature of Persons in the Circu'
lars-Letters and Papers Bought.

LONDON, May Ga new advertis-
ing dodge has Just been adopted here.
People in various parts of the country
have been puzzled by the receipt of an
advertising letter. bearing pinnd on the
top corner slip OF paper with the sig
nature OF the recipient.
Many persons have been deceived by
thu implication that the firms which
send the advertisement have been in
communication with them previously
and that the appended signature is a
token of either previous business or Of
special private knowledge of the recip-
lent. The firms which send out the
circulars with the signatures attached
reckon on this impression, and often
do good business as the result. Some
of the methods by which some of the
advertising firms in question obtain the
signatures and addresses OF strangers in
the handwriting of the latter are in
deed extraordinary.
Many business houses in large towns
are quite aware of the demand for
these names and addresses. They take
advantage of the fact by selling at so
much a hundred the old letters Of GUS
toners or inquirer-, which in the ordi.
nary way would be sold as waste paper.
The enterprising advertising firm which
buys them cuts off the signature and
appends it to a circular letter, which
he sends to the person in question.
The quest for these old etters has
now entered upon another phase. Firms
in London are employing men and wom-
en- to search refuse boxes and refuse
heaps for discarded papers and letters.
