A MODERN NECESSITY.
I
The value of advertising is
felt at three ends?the mer
chant, the oonsumer, and the
publisher.
Through the medium of his
advertisements the merchant
acquaints the consumer with
the wares he has foe sale, with
their values and their ettrac
tlve features, and is himself
Instantly in touch with the
consumer.
The consumer reads of the
goods he wants, learng where
to find them, and saves the
time of fruitless hunting from
place to place.
The publisher Is the go-be
tween, tho medium of com
munlcatlon between tho buyer
and seller, a sort of public
convenience. Strange as It
may qeem, he, to*>, has his
uses.
Advertising accomplishes
**" more rood and better results
for all people than any one
feature In commercial life.
It is a modern necessity,
made bo by the constantly ln
creasing demands of a dls
criminating public.
