Imosphere of news. They emphasized irA
mediate events and opportunities. No
words were more constantly employed
than bargains" aud special sales, " whiI@
occasional bargain counter riots" bore
striking witness to the fact that they were
read. The buying public came to depend
upon the advertising columns for informa-
ton concerning its material needs just
as completely as it depended upon
the news and editorial columns of the
newspaper for news and views of current
events.
Prompt knowledge of opportunities,
such as only newspaper affords, affects
the plans of countless individual purchas
ers. They pore over the advertising col
umns each day. Without them the buyer
and the advertiser would find themselves
in much the same plight as were the mer-
chants of New York and their customers
during the newspaper strike in that city
few years ago. The local market places
were open but the doors might well have
been closed.

I recommend it to others and always
keep a bottle in the house."

even the long-forgotten Past comes forth
from its grave for his inspection through
the labors of archeologists-all first in
the form of news. To this end, thousands
of trained observers, writers and editors
are at his command whenever he makes a
trihing investment at the newsstand.
But news has another aspect. 1t IS that
great department of vital, vivid infor-
nation we call advertising. Advertising
started as news. Here, for example, is a

Containing the Freshest Advices, Foreign
and Domestic" and it cannot escape
notice that six of its twelve columns are
devoted to paid announcements. As in
Americas first newspaper John Camp

were largely the local news of the day.
1t is certainly news that, as one adver-
tisement states, Elizabeth Ball, who was
carried off by the Indians in the month Of

her parents that she is now ina convent in
