SCIENCE OF ADVERTISING.

Advertising is both a science and an art.. We have studied that solence,

Do you know the ART P

Can you write a catchy ad.?-very few can.

A good ad. is one that catches the eyes, then holds the attention.

Can you do it? We can.

Let us write your ads. for you, insert them in any paper you fancy, but let us write them for you, we like it, that will be our recompense. Choose your paper, put them in, watch results. ADVICE:-Insert them in the paper with the largest circulation-that is the secret of judicious advertising.

All the papers have the largest circulation, if you doubt it, ask them; then tell us, what they tell you.

The other fellow is losing all the money. True; that is the reason he is able TO KEEP

UP the advertising rate! THEY KNOW that the other fellow is losing money hand over fist, if YOU doubt it, ask

· them, they will tell you candidly; “it is quite true,"

The cheapest ad. Is the dearest. Why? do you know your business and ask why P Do you advertise, because of friendship? No? To reach the people ? Yes, yes, that is the reason and it can only be accomplished by advertising in the paper that has the largest circulation. But if they all have the largest›› airoulation, I must advertise, in Sipers ? Quite so, if you think..............

The ** Order of the Bath”. Forty millions of Britons it seems, are content with the beda pl room basin or its substitutes, Thoy may take a full bath oc- oasionally, but they have no passion for it. Their ordinary ablutions are on a temperate and partial soilo. Military men come first in the virtue that ranka next to godliness, and racing men are notepecially conspicuous, it seems, in their love of wator, cold, or hot, when it takes the form of bath. Nor aroolorgymen. But it is only fair to say that the ovi donce is not absolutely conclusive, in bithor of theso oases. People who frequent hotels apponr too frugal: in their ablutions.
