ADVERTISING AN ART.

Calls Beauty go S1~ Service.
Advertising has indeed become an
art IL remains for II to become. II not
hne AIT. at least an art that calls
beauty 20 its service. When IL does,
much OF the energy that Is now mis-
directed. much OF the money that Is
now prodigally wasted in destroying
Me worlds beauty, will be saved.
The right procedure Is Indicated by
the most conspicuous medium for pub
lie advertising. The press. I'm its daily,
weekly or monthly forms. offers alto
ge'her the best means for calling pub
lie attention TO all sorts OF things. The
best OF public journals-those which
are recognized as the most desirable
mediums for advertising and which
consequently obtain the highest prices
Tor their services-make IL rule to
classify and restrict I'm n iudicious
manner the advertisements that they
print. They confine them TO certain
parts OF the publication. they restrict
their display to certain decorous STYLES
OF type. recognizing that to admit a
METER SHELTER distribution through all
columns or 20 display them i'm incoher-
emf fashion according 70 the whims of
Tue advertisers would largely destroy
the very objects held in view. The
readers Of these Journals would resent
the Intrusion OF advertising matter in
TO the space set apart for news. edi-
torials. etc. 9nd the influence that
gives tie advertising It's value would
decline
In the same way the forms Of adj
vertislng that now give exceeding Of
iense TO the community ought 10 be
restricted and kent within proper linn
its. Ii this were effected tie practice
would change from the public nuls-
ance that II now is t. a function that.
