A Cnafter From a Western Daily Telling how Merchants ar? rDeceivei> in Giving their Patronage to Cheap-John Ar rangements Instead of the NeW34*AP;.R9. The [historian who writes the com uiercial history of I he nineteenth ecu mry must devote a chapter of his work to the mighty influence of the modern newspaper upon the world's business affairs. Investigation, wu think; will reveal the fact that all tbc ancient methods of trade have been revolutionized during the past fifty years, and that the modern news paper has done it. "Printers' ink'' is as necessary nowadays to the success ful business man as his salesmen are, and the in ensure of his success is ex actly cquol to the cxteut of his adver tising. The day is past when the mor chunt can sit in his store and expect that, hia^^gns wdl suffice, to attract business to his establishment. We do not need to argue this po?nt with rcileu'.iug men. Illustrations of the fact may be found in every city and cv rv village ol the land. rite successful business man, the wealthy merchant, in nine cases out of ten, is he who has wisely seen the advaut gC o: advertising and has ad vertised judiciously. Stewart, who last year invest* d $S1G 000 in news paper advertising, Bonner, Babbitt, iHtryea, Orange Judd, Ii. V. Pierce, J. C. Aver, who have amassed prince fortunes, are notable illustrations. Wo might mention many others whose names nrc as familiar as house hold words in every part.of tbc .and, or we might come nearer home, and oiler in proof ol this theory tbc evi dence ol our leading Chicago business men. Take the directory and search out a dozen or more of our wealthiest merchant-:, and it will be found that the most prominent and wealthiest ol them will admit that their success was due chiefly to judicious adver tising. As the reader will doubtless infer, we make a distinction between judi cious ami reckless advertising. An important consideration to the adver tiser is the medium through which be communicates with the public. Every city, and especially Cl icngo, is over run with a class of men whom wc may not inappropriately term "advertising sharks"?persons of glib tongue, easy conscience and amazing "check," who waylay the merchant at every turn with "Cheap John" schemes and "catch penny publications." They arc not deterred by rebuffs, nor dis couraged by being kicked downstairs, for th y persistently return to the at tack, and often succeed in beguiling the merchant into paying a large price for a small space on a fly-leal or outside cover. It is all money thrown away. The pamphlet into which bis "ad." is placed with fifty others is glanced at for day, perbaps, and then stacked up in a closet never to he seen again. The "catch-penny publication" is usually a 'ittlo hill poster sheet, ostensibly published in the interest of some class of business, but really pub lisho i for the purpose of catching ad vertisements, and nothing else. They have little or no circulation, no stand ing or responsibility, and uro gencr aly edited by adventurers who c: nn )V tunke,, a, liviug. by legitimate news puj)er work. .Money paid for such advertisements is worse than squand ered.' It is offering a premium for blackmailing, and assisting to support a class of worthless fellows "who prey on the business community. The bestand most substantial med iiitn that is offered the advertiser is the family newspaper. Day after day, and week after week, the newspaper enters nearly every household in the land, and is always reecived-.?s a wel-. conic visitor.. iL is read?news, mis cellany, advertisements and all; and when it has lost all its power to inter est the subscriber's ftfmilyY.it often finds its way to the'fireside of the next door neighbor, and not infrequently to far-oil'frieudrf, to announce to those who still cling to the old homes', ead what thriving towns, and mighty in dustries are rising Within the sphere of its usefulness. In all cases it is a silent [messenger of the advertiser, persistently proclaiming tho morits of his wares, until at last it is Worn out or destroyed; . Asdong-flsntdaits the newspaper-is read.1 ' Especially is this true of tho weekly newspaper?the home coiin'ry paper which,next to the Bible, in many a rural household i looked iipoh with reverence and im pHcitly relied upon. The Tiihcs is of the opinion that the groat city ne wspapers arc inclined to under-cstimate the powerful influence which their country contemporaries sway. Accustomed as wc arc to.deal rapidly with current events, with hardly time to thoroughly iiigest the great topics of to-day before, telegraph flashes other and perhaps more im I portnnt events before our., dyes, wc ! have not the time nor the inclination to read all the matter which thekTeat dailies lay before its. . In the country it is. ..different. Themajority.o^tr^T interior wecklies n'4 ??w produel'tT aftT carefully compiled from the city dail I ics. They arc an epitome of the I news of the world for the week, so ar ranged as to bj quickly read, ami the comments arc the result of days of deliberation. The Times believes, also, that the country papers have never" had Jus thie doue them iu this respect, and it expresses the opinion of those best capable of judging, when it says that the weekly newspapers of the country tributary to Chicago have far more in fluence over their readers in propor tion to their circulation thaudiavc the majo ity of large city dailies. Within tho past twelve years there has been a vast improvement made in the country newspaper?particularly in respect to the care with which all the Hews of the day is gathered and edited, and the literary ability dis played in its columns, which relieves the provincial press from tho lew oh jectiotis that have been heretofore ur cd against it, and has accord od to it higher dignity, extended its in flu encc, and gr> ally augmented its power for good. The typographical appearance of the country journal of to-day is perfect; the display and classification of the advertisements tasty; the quality of the paper used and the printing far superior to that of its city con cht po caries.
