AnO.KlISEMlMS HEAD.
Hon. John Forsyth, the veteran edit
or of the Mobile Register, used to tell
a story to illustrate the value of news
paper advertising as a means of getting
before the public whatever you wished
them to know of your wants and
wa res.
Mr. Forsyth was accidently drawn
intoa discussion of the subject with a
mercantile friend, who expressed em
phatic doubts whether advertising
benefited a man’s business at all, and
closed his side of the debate with the
common remark. “It’s all money
given to the aid of newspapers. No
body reads my adveaiisement or
thinks of it, or looks after it, except
your foreman and collector.”
Forsyth replied, ‘Let u9 test the
truth of the assertion. Sit down and
write out such an advertisement as I
dictate, and we will put it in the
smallest type the cases contain, and in
sert it in the remotest corner of the
Rey inter you can select.’
The next morning there appeared in
agate, without a bit of display, and in
the most out-of-1 he-way-place in the
paper, the following advertisement:
‘Wanted: To buy a dog. Apply at
No. ------ Blank street.’
The contract was that in ca9e the
‘ad.’ was a ‘success’ the merchaut was
to pay $2, and treat to wine and oys
ters. If it failed to meet the eyes of
the parties with merchantable canines,
the editor was to pay $6 and to set up
a supper for two.

ance of his experiment the merchant
called at the Register office several
times. He looked as though he was
in trouble, ap|*0ared nervous, looked
over bis shoulder like one whois pur
sued by some terrible bore, or a per

Finally, late in the evening, he met
his editorial friend, and before the lat

merchant «aid, hurriedly, For Heaven’s
