8ARAGA DEPARTNGEIN
BIRTH OF REAL ADVERTISING.
Idea Of General Publicity Can Dc
Traced to Mistake.

The launching of general publicity
advertising was largely due to q few
energetic men. It started from the
peculiar mistake of printing an ad-
vertisement in New York paper q
full page In size instead of the few
lines as was intended. The returns"
from the mistake were so great that
other advertisers began to use large
space on purpose. At that time there
were only few manufactured articles
of national fame. The housewife went
to the market in the early morning
for her vegetables, and to the grocery
store to inspect the boxes and barrels
and shelves. Crackers. for instance,
were scooped out of barrel by the
pound and were subject to breakage
and dirt. Similar conditions held true
for other necessities. There was no
distinct standard.
The results Of widespread advertis-
ing did infinitely more than make the
advertisers wealthy. Even wealth
would not have come II the public
had not been satisfied with the change.
In the first place, II an advertised ar
ticle was found to be satisfactory, the
same thing could be secured again
with the confidence that 1t would be
the same. Time was saved in selec-
ton. In fact, to-day, the housekeeper
knows what she wishes without going
to the market or the store. The tele-
phone Is at her elbow or the order
man comes to her door. For the 9th
er necessities of life outside the table.
and also the Injuries, there is the edu-
cation Of the advertising columns of
the magazines.-The Housekeeper.

have found that they had legal ex-
