ADVERTISING IN INDIA.
novel Methods Besides Newspapers
Adopted to Reach Purchasers,

me problem of suitably advertising
articles of merchandise in India re-
CURES special attention and considera-
tion OF local conditions in order tn
reach likely purchasers out of a total
population of over 315, 1000 people.
only small percentage of which can
read the English language, and per-
haps not even fifty per cent of which
can read the native vernaculars
Newspaper advertising, even though
reaches only a small proportion of
the total population Of India, is prob
ably the best general medium for adj
vertising such articles as are used by
the most well-to-do and. ell-educated
persons with high standard of. living.
Although, in proportion to circulation,
Indian newspaper rates for. advertis-
ing are high as compared with the
United States, nevertheless expendi-
ture in such advertising, if kept up lib-
orally and persistently undoubtedly
produces good results. The latest sta
tistics of newspapers in India show
that there are 65S newspapers and 1902
periodicals published in this empire.
They are chiefly in the English, Tamil,
Ardu, Gujarati, Marathi, and Pengali
language. A few trade papers are in
cluded among this number, severalE of
which afford good mediums for reach
ing possible users OF machinery and
engineering appliances. The leading
newspaper in Bombay (Times of In
dia,) which circulates chiefly among
Government officials. the military ele-
ment, European and Indian clubs and
the European population generally, In
dian princes, and other WELL do ma
tives, has furnished me with advertis-
/ ing rates. which show a charge of
about 65 cents per inch each ii for II
insertions of ordinary trade announce
ments, with a reducing rate according
| to frequency of insertion down to 81
cents per inch for 104 insertions, 25 per
cent extra being paid for special posi-
t!ons, and so per cent extra for posi-
tons next to editorial matter.
Pictorial advertising is undoubtedly
| of peculiar benefit in India, as it APP
meals to people of many languages
| and even those who are illiterate. The
advantage Of this sort Of advertising
has lately caused the organization OF
several firms for the particular pur-
pose Of drawing pictures for use by
advertisers. For popular advertising
OF simple and cheap articles, to reach
ell classes of people. there Is no bet
ter method than to display pictures OF
trademarks of the same, SO they are
frequently and constantly to be seen in
even the most out-of- the-way places.
Sometimes merely letter or initial OF
| arm, with the trademark and some
simple picture, helps business better
| than a great deal of descriptive ad-
vertising literature, which many peo-
ME can not read or understand.
Among various advertising novelties
much used In India may be mentioned
umbrellas, fans. mirrors, and paper
weights. Several large firms in India
give immense numbers OF cheap um.

have started on a campaign that will

we can say that consumption in this
city is thing of the past. One little
dispensary will not do the work I'M

can go for day treatment, returning TO

advanced stages of the disease can be
cared for properly. Our attention is
called to the necessity of some careful
medical supervision of our schools,
to ward against this and other diseas-
es, that may be present. In Philadel-
phia and other cities experiments with
open air school rooms have resulted In
the discovery of the fact that the chill
dren in such rooms did better work
and were more regular in attendance
because free from sickness, than those
who were taught in the regular
warmed air rooms. Careful records
were kept of the classes in both Fresh
air and warmed air rooms and these
are set forth in detail In Vol. 3, No. 2

way to stir up the public enthusiasm
for our work, and also, and perhaps
most important, strive to awaken the

for conditions that favor and even
foster the disease and at the same
