: WHEN ADVERTISING
BEGAN.

NJ. Tn these times when adver-
Using ones business or wares has
been reduced to a fine science II
would be interesting for one who is
engaged in it to know who was tho
first to introduce it to the world and
when. l have several times sought
information on the subject, but never
Times enlighten me?
Advertising in some form or other
is really as old as the institution of
buying and selling. In the DAYS Of
ancient Rome and Athens merchants
were wont to employ 'barkers," or
criers, who went about the streets
shouting out the wares and alluring
prices of their employers. They
howled about bargains in those
days and caused rushes of trade, we
may suppose, just as the advertise
ments of to-day draw the thronss of
shoppers.
Presently came written notices
that were displayed on blank walls
for the edification of the purchasing
public. In the early days of London
the shopkeepers had clerks who we're
stationed in front of the stores to
shout their wares much after the
fashion that used to obtain in Baxter
street, when the barker" came into
his own. These clerks were wont to
preface their vocal advertisement of
wares by shouting:
What do We lack? What do We
lack?"
The first genuine newspaper adver-
tisement of which there appears to be
any authentic record was printed in
The Mercurius Politicus in London in
January, 1852. 1t was a publishers
announcement and read thus:
"Irenodia Gratulatoria, an Heroick
POEM being congratulatory pane
gyrick for my Lord Generals late
return, summing up his successes in
an exquisite manner. To be sold by
John Holden, in the New Exchange,
London. Printed by Tho. Newcourt,
1852.
The new method of letting the pub
lie know where it could get what it
wanted was quickly snapped up, but.
in its early stages it furnishes some
most remarkable examples of adver-'
Using. One of these quaint notices.,
appearing in a London publication
soon after the introduction of news
paper advertising, reads thus:
THE PUBLICK WILL PLEASE

from my place on Thursday of last
week an apprentice boy, called Dick
Noodler, with smutty complexion,
and black teeth, and he is as ugly as

tice appeared in Dublin newspaper,
supposedly one of the first newspaper
advertisements in Ireland
