Preparation of Ads

a feature which is also the result
OF evolution. and which assists the
newspapers materially In preparing

tensi"e daily advertisements sent In
by the large mercantile establishments
OF the city, is that the work OF pre-
pairing the copy" for the "ad" is
done by experts; either by men who
have themselves been newspaper men
and know just how TO get them in
shape. or by men trained In a similar
school All the leading stores In Salt
