The Evolution Of the Want Ad

With the growth and progress being made in
other means INSTRUMENTATION, such the tele-
phone the telegraph the cable and the Of
the postal system, there arose the need of some
means whereby the general public could voice its
needs. and offer services to the whole COM
munity at time.
To do this effectively the natural medium adopted
daily newspaper, the size Of notice or ad-
vertisement varying from two three lines up.
A small ad however. could not attract enough at
tention by itself especially with the constantly in
creasing Of large store advertising In time.
therefore all these miscellaneous little ads were
placed together. This method of talking to one 8
neiEhbors grew enormously the strength of Its
merits. AS natural further development the
growth itself demanded grouping classified ton
of the different Kinds Of This spelt the origin
of. at first. such well known headings Help
Wanted" situations Wanted" Lost and Found
Personal" etc. These classifcatens became perma-
and distinctive features of the daily newspaper.
and almost indispensable to the general
public.
Gradually other classifcations added and
there now, so & eatly has advertising
variety of ads and classihcations. which find
1t almost be reasonably stated that need or
arising in a persons existence be filled by
close application to the want ad pages
