"The more a country, a product, or a causo is advertised, the more successful it will bo. · Tho popularising of bread, electricity, gas, fruit and boor has been successful duo largely to tho fact that the public has been informed as to the advantages of using those articios or services through the Press, which forms tha most profitable and the least expensive way to reach tho' greatest number of poople in the shortest possiblo space of time; and any advertiser who uses it knows it.”
