CO gto Sxlsf Ssta&ro, MISCELTiAXEOUS PROFESSIONAL CARDS. ASTOKTA Sept. 30. IS77 Scicutilic AdYerlisiiu The Springfield Rei)ublican cails attention to the fact that ad vertising on board fences and dead walls is being abandoned from a conviction of its general uselessness. The practice was rec ently denounced at the convention of Stove Manufacturers of the coun try, at Detroit, where the President said: If we would make the best possible use of our money we should patronize ably con ducted and responsible newspnpers. He added: "the newspaper is immeasurably the best medium open to our trade; the most liberal and expert advertisers testify to its "value, and in the employment oi its columns we would find a means of escape irom wasteful undignified, and ineffective method?." Live commercial men everywhere are fully sensible of the great ben efit derived from advertising All the great fortunes especially in the retail trade, have been made by that process. Advertising means the bringing home to the greatest number of people possible a knowl edge of the things which one has for saie. In large communities thou sands of persons find that I hey are iu need of a certain article. There are miles on miles of stores where they will be sure to find it. But they do not want to spend a large amount of time hunting for it. It is just at this point that the expert advertiser makes his hit. lie has managed by some method of reach ing the public eye to impress the fact upon a majority of individuals that lis is the man who has the arti cles sought to sell and on the most reasonable terms. The go strai ght to his store and make their purchase, while the small number that had not been impressed by his advertising go floundering about till the' obtain what they want. They fall to the tradesmau who has done no advertising. His buis ness, for this reason, is one of acci dent. His sole dependence is loca tion. But for some time there has been a doubt as to the best methods of disseminating the knowledge nec essary to success in businesas, at least as regards miscellaneous ad vertising. Board fences and dead walls everywhere are covered with advertisements. The panels of street cars; the entrances to the fer lies and all places where there is a constant gathering of the masses arc filled with invitations to buy. Bat it is beginning to be a question whether apy real benefit is derived from this practice. The purchaser who is caught by this method has to carry away in his memory the number and street. For this feat few are competent A great many do not care to take so much trouble. Again, these advertisements are so scattered that the result is mental contusion. One brings away with h:m an idea in which all sorts of incongruous things arc mixed up. Impossible elephants and pre-Kap-haelite sketches do not help mat ters. The chances are that the de vice gets attached to the wrong thing. In addition to this, there is something akin to roentment in the minds of most persons at thi unwarrantable intruion on their privacy. There is a desire to look upon a fence, or a wall, or a land scape without being reminded that somebody has something to sell. The newspaper is open to none of these objections. Under the system of classification which now prevails, what is wanted can be reached in a moment. Besides, it is at home where the newspaper is that people makes up their 'minds to purchase. They are not, in one case in ten thousand, reminded by posters or rude paintings that they want something. They dodge the dodgers whenever that nuisance presents itself. If the fact could be pot at, we think it would be found i hat not one buyer m a thousand has been attracted by all the taw diy advertising that "is so liberally spread along the streets and roads leading through and to the city. For the reasons stated no hing else could be expected, 1'or to fix on the mind the locality of one's bmnebS and tue articles one has for sale, more is required lhan a fence ad vertisement, which js never more than naif digested, if it is not abso lutely ignored through resentment.
