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 ac<lnireR aistiuction in their aud , thus . they . , lead, , . making .. : are in a I choice . to prefer . . him. . But . , t>v , far tbs most impoitant 1 of J “dvertising r mdi . j It.eouvevs is one the of au rect nature. tmpres , * !on ! * je patty pretending or not pretending, qnackish or not quackisb—is in anxious for business. 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 lion.
