ADVERTISING AS NEWS.

According to the old fashioned idea, an advertisement was simply a busi- ness card. John Smith respectfully informed the public that he kept a dry goods store on Main street, where he was prepared to give the public the best goods for the lowest prices. As the best goods are always cheap est, the public should always buy of Smith, etc. etc.
 In the old days when newspapers and magazines were scarce, the public might read that kind of thing. Any thing in print looked good to them It made an impression on their rninas, and no doubt helped to sell goods.
 Today any bright business TuaD knows that his advertisement is a nt- tie section of news space where he can give the public the news about his store He records there what special opportunities he has picked up and what special sacrifices he is prepared to make. It is just as interesting news as anything in the paper and read quite as iptent1y.
