That was when advertising was comparatively unknown, and no one dreamed of competition like that of today. Nowadays alert merchants de- tod little upon the bush (or store sign), ut make the desirability of their wares publicly known by means of daily news- )aper advertisements. The store sign orces itself upon the notice of a few hun dred of passers-by, if it be novel and at tractive, but the advertisement engages the attention of hundreds of thousands of newspaper readers.
