We published in our last Financial Supple ment au article on the advertising agent which made it clear that there is not only far more art but also reason in advertising than is generally supposed. There is a common ided that any rabbiah can be sold by lavish advertisement; but experience proves that only a good article can be advertised with least

But we have no reason to believe that there is more waste of energy in advertising in a community like our own than there is in the endless bargaining of simpler communities. Indeed, there is this to be said for advertising, that it saves the energy of the buyer if it consumes some of that of the seller, where aa bargaining exhausts both.
There is one remalt of the modern devdop. ment of advertising which is certainly good and which at the same tinte has brought back some of the conditions of an earlier and simpler and of commerce. A little while ago the buyers of a number of staple producte addom knew who eases the producers use advertisement to con- were the producers of them. Now in many meet themselves with their own particular pro- anctions. By doing so they commit themselves to the production of a good article, for it is obrions that advertisement which connected the producer with worthless products would do him more harm than good if his name were well known in conuotion with some articlo which the public had tried and found wanting they would fight shy of other articles produced by him. His only remedy in that case would be to give up advertising altogether and to pro- dues anonymously. In that case he would be at a double disadvantage in competing with the advertising producers of good articles. We are told, and we can well believe it, that lying advertisements do not pay in the long ran, and that the best modern advertising has the publi eation of facta for its basis.
