Tile Bond to Wealth.. ••••••=••• ART ATD WINTERY 07 ADVERTISING. Among all the 'business developments in our country none has heen more wonderful than that of Adrenising. From the smallest beginning it has grown to be a mighty and certain power. We can all remember low tame and puny were the business notice a that appeared in journals a few years bask. making up the estimate for the -.year, corn- Merced- houses did not think of including a per centage for advertising. A .eimple card livas supposed t,o be all that wsa useful or ,requisite. Neither could men advertise if they would, so fear were the jouriude and so valuable the space. • But. like *dream; the embryonic science started forward and very soon it was found to ba' an unprecedented means of acquiring wealth. Townsend then an -unknown physician,. thought he saw. in advertising the _iestrument with which to make his fortune, and at -once devised a -grand-scheme for puttied, his wares before the public. L, He ievesad all his_temey in advertising, and all he could borrow from his friends. .11e levied aid from every jouroal in ths lanai; until his` ..name became -literally a household word.

There is another way of advertising besides that of giving notice -through the columns ot the paper. It is s similar method to that which is nowataapted by a -certain Doctor who is performing his wonderful antics not one hundred miles from the Idetropolitin Hall. The "Dodge," fur 'it can Le called by no others mane, is to profess to- do eterythitig for nothing and Ova something into the bargain, This artifice,however, is of short dunttioth and unless Mowed tip daily/ with steal tact,iiiipudence and an immense amount of cheeks Alin* brAssi is likely to lead to More 'kicks than half pence/- --I-- Passing from our.oWin tenttltY teethed** find that advertising is not $i•simple 'Yeahe invention or "dodge."

Advera tieing is quite as much the custom in France, many Frenchmen havieg accumulated famous fortunes by this 000 mesas alone. The fact is that advertising -has become a great science - and auxiliary to business throughout the world and its powers are increasing dairy. Very few business inen have any just idea of the real value of advertising as a legiti- mate help in their efforts to auceeed. They are apt to look on it as the tool of the ad- ventuser. But the utter falsity abundantly proved. The expenenceof those men who have tried it hrgely ia that no in- vestment AO profitable -can possibly be made.
