Nowapaper advertising offors such facilities for addrossing nil clnsacs from which customers wontd bo likely to be attractdd, that it ia now roecognized by ‘business men haviug faith in their own saren—ns Lho bost of alt possible salosmon—oab who novor sloops and i8 novor weary—who goes atter business enrly and late—who accoste the merchank in his shop, tho lawyor in bis offleo, tho student fn his atudy, the oultivated woman at tho family firoside,—who can bo {n n thoustnd placos at onco, and speak to a million pooplo each day, eaying to each ono tho bost thiug futho bosg anner. m}:ewwnpm advortising secures o businoss connection on tho most pormanont and indepondent basis; snd is, In s cortain sonse, o guarantoo to tho oustomer of fair and moderate prices. Ex perience has shown that tho dealor whoss waros havo obtalned a public colebrity 18 not only onabled 10 g2l, but {a foreod to eoll, ot reasonablo rates, and to furnish & good n.ruc)n.l TC A MERCHANT. ' Tho great daily newspapors are the best advertlaing modiums for the following ressons ¢ i In tho first placo, they contain the latest financial and commorcial nows, and full roports of al) events of importance in ovory departmoent of netive industry. Sccondly—Thoy contaln tho Jatest telegraphio nowa and corrospondenco from tho eentrea of public Intalligonco, and have the best critiolsme and discussions of questions of p:lbllo intorest. Thirdly—Thoe readors of the gront daily newspapors ijnclude noarly allzpersosis of moans in t!m counly. and ospocially the leaders of thought nnd public opinion, and porsons of entorprise in ovory wall of lifo, Jourthiy—Tt is tho patronago of tho discriminating publio that constitntos that which is ealled “1oputation” in business. 1t is this reputotion that inducos porsons in California and Toxns to send to Tiffapy & Co. for watchea in proferonco to buying at homo—with a cortainty that thoy sunil have the bonefit of the bost seloction, and at tho samo prico precigely, aa it bought ot tho stora in person, Fijthly—~Advertising in the best papors has & permancnt influenco which rom'nlnn always at worle, bocause it is mainly addrossed to intelligont ronders, who aro of business habits, and approcinte & bucinose statemont, Tho value of an advoertisomont is not gomuch for its sizo, or tho frequency iitl which it is printed, but in the complotonces +rith which it supplics the dosired information to {ho readers. An advertisemont moy accomplish tho deeired rosult with two or threo insertions, and may 1ail to do so with #ifty. 70 A MANUFACTURER. In the first place, tho leading jobbing merchants aro invariably mhfictaqt o handle new goods vl of monopoly or advantaga ovar tha amaller merchants. wl;l;g:j&;m;;é:;n mnrclmn{s zri“ arguo fl.ml: muanufacturers who use a trademark should confin e tho koowlodgo of it to tho trade, 80 that the pro@it of dealers would be always assured, On this basls tho manufacturer would bo nlways at tho morey of any rival who made goods of s elmilar ohar. sctor, and who wos willing to offor a largor proflt to tho jobbing morchant and retail dealer. Thirdly—"Tho compromiso growing out of thoso difforent intorosts has led to numerous offorta by manufacturers, scourivg, in some form, an appesranco of uuiform prices on sales ropresenting 2qual amounts uuder squal conditions. Tourthly—~The jobbing morchant promises in refurn to respect .lntnmnt ot rotail dealors; but, whero thero are so many interests, oxporienco has shown that il impossible to regulate the rotail prico of any articto for which thore 18 a wide domand. Many dnmqus, in ordor to acquire a reputation for moderato prices, are always roady to soll an article that is vory popular M: a vory small profit, and ab length, to discrodit the salo of such goods altogether, substituting in their place goous on which larger profits aro made. In the transition poriod, boforo an article is very widely known, numerous dovicos oro rogorted to by retail dealera in order to muko a profit, while professing not to mako any; thus the rotail douh?r procures gomd favorite brand of something for which thore is a pormanont market, and dieplays it in his window, with the trademarlk and wholegale price marked in plain lottera, Inc.lulry is mnde for that particular artiolo, and tho rotail dealor roplics that.the only sample in stock is tho one ex- hibited in tho windaw, but that ho i8 daily expocling a frosh supply. In the moantimo he uses his best offorts to sell somothing olso, ond it is only whon he finda that it is impossiblo to do go that he turnishes tho gennine article. \When n manufacturer stamps his goods with & “trademark,” ho places soma obstacles in the way of their early popularity, but in the long run it is to only r.nlu that will secure a recognition of his rights in the matter. The ‘manufacturor of goods favorably kuown can always exact his own mngg, and jobbors and commission morchants will bo compelied in solf-intorost to bocome active and will- ing agents in bis interost, instead of obstacles to his succoas. Tho most notod and succossful manufacturers aro those ywho lavo addrossod tho publio. Their waros are tho last to fool tho effects of panica- and the first to show signa of activity aftor dopressed eriods. 3 When & merchant has acquirad a great reputation for the oxtont and merit of his goods, he may rensonably advertige in all the principal citios, bocause, othor things being equal, ho will alivays hava a proference, for tho reasons already namod. Thus Browstor & Co., of Broome atrect, may reasonably sdvortiso to & limited amount in New Orloaus, Galveston, or 8t. Louis, bocauso, although theeo cities may have many good carringe-builders, thoro must bo nlways some who must hava the best, and are willing to pay tho differencos in froights, whilo tho sonee of scourity and satisfaction are both gratified by tho payment of extra freight from Now York. When a great merchant dosires to securo tho services of abuyer for an important branch of his pusinoss, it is roadily understood that the compenestion of such o buyer will dopend slmost eutirely on Lis capacity, skill, and oxporionce, and tho mcgnhnnb having an extondod businesy oxpericnco r!movrl procisoly how to dotermine whother an applicant for such a position possossos tho roquisite “qualifications. Newspaper advortising may be described as a trustod salesman, who not only invites businoss ralations, but goos after tho public into its privato walks and ways, and compols it to bo attontivo jn epito of itsclf, and its offcotivoness must dopend largoly on the skill employed in proseuting the merits of any articlo to tho public eye 8o aa to ‘produeo tho best rosults. Nowspaper advortlsing is an art. It is not onough alwaya toadvortise. It is nocossary in order {0 win success to advortiso in tho most effactivo maunor, sud to omploy tho boat akill as boiug both the best and by many times tho choapest. 7 Newspaper advertisements of every description prepared and inserted in the following list of first-class newspapers, prompt- 1y, systematically, and intelligently, and on the most favorabl conditions : 1 Chicago Tribune. i Baltimore American.

BAKING POWDER. DR. PRICE'S TRIUMEPELANT! PURITY VERSUS WEIGHT AND ADULTERATION, Prof, Dlaney uecs DR, PRICE'S CREAM BAKING POWDER in hin own family. In his leftor of Doc. 4, 1874, Prof. Dlancy snya: *Sinco I sntisfiod mysolf, November, 1873, of ita purity, ite freedom from adulteration, aud the caro taken in itsproparation, I havo used Dr, Prico’s Croam- Bakiog Powder in my house, I can cheorfully recommend It as being o puro, wholesomo, and unw- dullerated Baking Powdor.” Docs Prot. Blanoy indore tho roniTY of the tull-wolght Baking Powder ? Read carofully. Doca ho cortify that it contatus no dilufing materials, which other reputablo chemists flud aro #0 laxgoly used to cheapon the Powder and make weight? , « Doos Prof. Dlanoy say that a Baking Powder, to bo puro, must bo nearly onc-third flour, thot its manufacturors can onrich thomsolves by siwindling tho constumors ? Prof. Blanoy's analysis of tho full-welght Powdor diffors but littlo from the analysls of it pub- 1ished on tho 19th inst. ovor tho signaturo of Prof.'G. A. Marinor, which showed that this Powdor, certifled to by tho President and Sceretary ot tho company that makes and placea it in tho markot a5 boing o *ntandard” aud *entirely pure articlo,” waa #“about oxs-runp flour and foreign matorials,” Ts this not cufMiclont to satisfy tho public that tho claim of the full-weight Powder- malors, that *Trvo tonspoonsfuls of their Powdor will go as far ns threo toaspoonfuls of any othor," like thoir othor unserupulous statomonts, 1a & porvorsion of facts 2. ) Can they oxpect any rensonable person to beliove that a Powdor diluted (nearly) ono-third by flour and other admixturcs, can do the worl of ono like Dr. Prico’s, which ominent chemists cortify to be pure ? * Prof. Blancy, and also Prof. Dolafontaino, find that 16 ounces of Dr. Price's Powder consider- ably more thon fill o can which will hold 16}¢ ouncos of tho full-woight Powdor. Auvd this is accounted for by the fact that the full-wolght Powder, by chomical analysls, is found to bo largely adulterated, and that argols, an impuro cream of tartar, is substituted for puro eroam of tartar (this is nlso shown by tho color), whilo Dr. Prico’s Powder is perfectly propared from the puro materials, Although ono can muy bo henvier than anothor, if both are of exnctly tho samo sizo and both aro full, docs not one contain aa many tenspoonfuls as tho other? And os both are used by teaspoonfuls, what has woight to do with it? Ta not that which ia proven by tho consumer to bo the most offoctivo, tho most economieal 2 Trof. Dolafontaino also cortifies that ho fluds 1134 ouncoes of Dr. Price's Powder is equal to 16 dones.
