EMBRACES the best Newspapers. Magazines, and Periodicals in the city and country-affords the opportunity of subscribing for them-and adopting (at the publishers' lowest rates) a safe, thorough, and judicious system of advertising, in the most Widely Circulating Journals in North America.


I. SAFE-Because he is the appointed Agent, and authorized to make contracts and give receipts.


II. THOROUGH-Because the best Journals in America are filed and arranged at his several offices, for convenient examination, affording & choice selection of any desirable number of papers.


III. JUDICIOUS-Because his study and practical experience qualify him to give valuable reliable information and important facts in regard to the principle and practical operation of advertising; the trade of the country ; the character, circulation. and comparative merits and prices of papers, and their adaptation to the business pursuits of advertisers.


V. B. PALMER'S Views of Advertising, in which he draws a com- parison between all commercial pursuits and the grand theatre of man- kind, in their physical and intellectual capacity :-


Whereas the physical must be aided by the intellectual in order to compete with the growing wants and demands of the former, s> the material affairs of business transac- tions must be aided and sustained by a proportionate exercise of intellectual energy ; and this intellectual energy should keep pace with the facilities by which the material affairs of business are advanced. If they do not, the same effect must, from time to time arise, that would result from an overgrown population without the mental discretion to pro- vide means for their sustenance. As a portion of the community would be subject to starvation and death, so in the commercial world, that portion which, with listless con- ceru for the mere transferring and handling of merchandise-the mere materiel of trude -- would inevitably be obliged to succumb to what is reputed the times and fail. Formerly the materiel of trade required but little intellectual exertion. While our population was comparatively small, our resources limited, our business men few, our conveyances tardy, as also our means of intelligence, it was an easy matter to give notoriety to business abroad, by means of verbal, written or printed communications, which were leisurely passed from one to another and read. The times have changed. Instead of the slow Conestoga teams, we have steamboats and locomotives. These have also superseded the mail coach. The materiel of trade hus advanced beyond all calculation for speed and dispatch.


l'hose business men who have consulted, with proper discretion, the facilities at hand, are advancing rapidly in the scale of fortune ; while many, very many, who have availed themselves wierely of those palpable aids which they were obliged to resort to, or imnie- diately sink, are yet lingering along behind the times. Every one is now obliged, if he would pace with the tunes, to aid his physical exertions in trade, or whatever business he may be engaged in, by duo recourse to those meaus by which his business profession may become generally known. This is the intellectual part of his business, and the press

is the great medium through which it must, at the present day, be developed. Nowa- dny's newspapers are diffused far and wide, they are read by all, and afford the only vehicle by which men and establishments at a distance become generally known. At the present day, as yet, this engine of intelligence, though a most important organ of busi- ness, has not attracted attention commensurate with cotemporary improvements, simply because the materiel of business is more palpable and tangible, and it will be only by de- grees that the power of the press will be acknowledged as equal to that of steam for the furtherance of business enterprise.
