A Rationale of Advertising.
Advertising is an expedient for ob ! j
tuning business tiy no meant gsnsr
ally practised. Many tradesmen ars t
deterred by the expence ; some have
no faith iu its efficacy ; others think
itaiuaik of second rats status in
business, and therefore more spt to
be iujctiioua than otherwise. On the
other baud, some tradesmen make a
syetem of advertising, planting every
kind of psriodicsl from the daily
(newspaper to thu quarterly review,
with specifications of tbeir anxiety
to nerve the public amt of the mer j
its of the articles in which they deal,
and evidently spending a considera j
hie nun of money yearly in this way. j
The unconcerned reader and the less
sente tradesmen, struck with the fre
quency of these appeals for business,
are apt to supposo that ha who make
them must be less undvr the iufiu
ence of wiedow than of folly, and a i
good deal of a pretender or a quack 1
into the bargain. They may even be j
a class who make a principle of dis
behaving aud disregarding ail such
appeals, and, like the Irishman, wbeu
much intreated to come. come, Ihe Ihe more more
they won't come Yet the tegular
discharge of Advertisements keep up
nevei theieaa, and the trader must evj
deutly find it serviceable upon the
whole.
It may be worth while to comuni
cate to young tradesmen the ideas of
an old one on the subject. They are
simply and briefly as follows: The
first utility of frequent sud regular
advei Using consists of this; there is
at all times a large class of persons ;
both in country aud town, who have
no fixed place for the purchase of
certain necessary articles, and are
ready to bs arrayed and drawn to
wards any particular place which is
•smiestly brought under tbeir uotice
Iudiffereut to all, they yisld without
hesitation to the first that asks.
Then, in the country, a considerable
number of persons who wish a supply
of the article advertised and do not
know of any particular plaoa where
it is to be got, being thus furnished
with tho address of a person who can
supply them, naturally open a c m
munication with that address which
perhaps leads to much ultsrior bus
ness. People in the country are also
] m b!e to be favorably impressed by
a frequent sight of i same in the
newspapers. The advertising

j It.eouvevs is one the of au
rect nature. tmpres

not pretending, qnackish or not

One who m anxious for basinuss is
««*<*<•',»«>“••' >»
trious, attentive, civil person who
keeps the bast ofart'cls 8 «t the cheap
eat rate, does everything ia tbe most
tradesmanlike mnnuer. and in geDer
al uses every expedient to gratify
and attach customes. Peopleiike to
purchase under those circumstances,
and the system of advertising assnr |
ing them that such circumstancss ex |
ist at this particular shop.tbsy select
it accordingly.
Such ate the opinions of the old j
tradesmen alluded to. and they are j
certainly supportud by fact; for what
ever an exteusive and regular system
of advertising is practised, and uo
backdrawing or unconquerable cir
eumstHUCSK exist, t is usually seen to
be attended with a considerable
share of success. One feature in ths
philosophy of the subject must be
carefully attended to. A faint and
infrequent system of advertising
doss uot succeed, not even in prepor
