' • Goviwi ad^nmuM^ **» After The ChicRgo Sun well says "When cows haye learned to read, then, and not till then, will it pay enterprising merchants to advertise their bnsine'i.s on "wayside fences, trees and gate- posts," All the ingenuity of man has failed to invent an advertising medium equal to the columns of a wellestab hshed newspaper. It is a part of everybody's daily life to read the papers and to do tiiis without readin- the advertisements and being im pressed with their statement is ah impossibility. Therefore the merchant who knows anything of human nature never fails to prefer the newspapei- "ad" to all the dodges ever invented.
