NO nee , business than out of ten known
to write nit advertisement ao as 40 at

the mule 'Stewart pays 'a , man $22,000
per year for : ing his advertisements.
The great mist... n most advertisers is
that they crowd too•rnu• in one advertise
.
men!. • Almost everything t have . to sell .
must be hinted in their aditertile to, and
not ono man in fifty roads it. One th : at
a time should be adverttsed, and that, 'fre

not satisfy the onrioaity, of the render. ,For
Instance, advertise:, Sugar I Sugar l Sugar !
People would- have their - attention attracted
by that one word, and would buy sugar.—

what was the best 'plan for adv . erlising.- .
They stifle, fixed upon a plan, .*ltioh was
to hive a story written .especially 'for the
purpose and priMlecl inetary papa •in , the
State of New York, in cities and. towns and
villages. The name of this story was - the
"Gunmaker of Moscow." The first part of
this story was put into . every paper.on the
same Saturday morning. At the end of tile
first part it stated that it would oe continued

if ho could have,three pages in the morrow's
papers, foi his advertisement of the Lelger
The answer was yes, it he would pay double
rates, ho might have as much as he Pleased.
Upon which !dr. Bonner. said he would have
the whole paper. The consequence was that
the next day the paper bad nothing but Bon
ner's ntivertiseatent in it.
• On one page in large letters, i 4 was stated
that an article written by Henry Ward
Beecher would be in.the Ledger,; and so on
through•the whole eight pages.. Mr.

To day.the Ledger has over three hundred,
