K tt —' - - > HOW TO ADVERTISE. Tlio following conversation occurred between the editor of thin paper and H. T. ileloibold, druggist, 594 Broad way. Emtoil “Doctor, I understand that you Advertise in more than two thousand newspapers." Don-on - “Yep, sir. Of tbdfonrthotisaud papers pub IDhed in the United States, I advertise in two thousand sevcu hundred." Enn'Ui.—“it is really astonishing, doctor, how you can make it pay, and how you manage to keep tho account of all of them, keeping your advertisements In the positions agreed upon, make tho necessary changoa, etc." Doctor.-" Well, sir, I will explain the matter, and enter into a few dotaila which may interest you. Borne eighteen years ago 1 had a small drug store in the city of Philadelphia, and at that time manufactured my fluid extract*. They had but a limited sale, and it required considerable effort to bring them to tho notice of phy eiciane. 1 was tolerably successful ultimately, and they were very generally prescribed by medical practitioners. At this time extracts wore sold to bulk -by the pound - as ‘paregoric,* ‘syrup of squills,* and other compounds are sold. My business increased in this way, but the protec tion afforded me was slight A druggist receiving a physician's prescription tor my article.for instance, would in many cases, substitute that of his own manufacture thereby causing difficulty between the practitioner and mjself. My interests became so completely jeopardized that 1 concluded either not to sell to dealers in bulk, no • tify physicians of my determination, and bo satisfied to remain ho obscure druggist in the upper part of a largo city, or adopt some entirely different method. My mind wss considerably exercised os to what plan was tho best to adopt 1 was aware of the singular prejudice existing in the rninda of practitioners and ‘high-toned druggists* Bcaiiiit atJrcrdsing remedies, and, In truth, I then had but limited means at my commaud to experiment in i rinter’e ink,’when, one bright morning, while I was sitting in my store waiting for customers, the Rev. Mr. Oninn. of Philadelphia, happened in, and said, ‘Doctor, you have a nice littlostore, and seem to be doing a fair ursine?*to which I replied in the affirmative. Ho then remarked. ‘Doctor, this is n business I think would suit me, 1 presume I could employ a competent druggist, de. vote some of my spare time to looking after the business »ud thus make it pay. What think your* The idea at once hashed oeros* my mind to sell out, and I said 1 did Rl . t suppose he would have any difficulty m carrying out his proposition. He then inquired the amount X would sell out for. whereupou I named a sum, and he accepted ike offer The negotiation was no sooner concluded than i L-c gar, to look out for a new place, and. with a few hun dred dollars as my rash capital, wax not long in finding aimall office, at 810 Chestnut street. Philadelphia,which I rented, opened, and made ready for business in a few dsy?. Advertising to me was a new and untried field; o t. with the small capital left, 1 determined to know- that qnickly—its merits and value ; for cvf n at that ea:ly date I was no hand to loiter, and 1 concluded to .cowin a month. 1 manufactured a small stock and .'Xpended sll my surplus cash amounting to about in that short period. My experimental.,pgo it.\n-tuc worked admirably, and fiom that timo I con •iL »ed to succeed, and increased my advertising in a cor reloading proportion. On these principle* 1 have man aged to enlarge and expand my butine-i*. until it has i.-fiicced its present magnitude." Ejuior. “But, doctor, how do jou manage about the making of contracts, the payment* to publishers, etc?" Demon.- “Oh ! that ia a simple matter. When I have ;iD de to spare 1 invent the money in extending my name buffißefs*, just aa a man does who purchases real estate or cultivates a farm ; and 1 consider the investment finally pood, in every respect. Nor do I ever attempt to make contracts without the means to make payments, any more than a nood fanner would think of cultivating bis soil without the funds to pay for cultivation.'* Editor.—" But, doctor, you have not yet exactly an swered my question; what I wish to know more particu larly is, bow yon make your contracts, and how you know wbat profits are derived from the different sources?” Dour on,—“Well. these are qneetions frequently asked of me i u m> place of business, on the street, or whererer 1 may happen to be. It is one of the first questions asked ttr business men, and, moreover, I seldom open my daily correspondence without finding two or (three letters rela tive to the same subject, some going so far as to aak my views of the value, as advertising mediums, of the dif ferent papers I patronize. These writers always receive civil replies. But, while we are on this theme, Mr. Editor, permit me to relate a little incident that occurred to me, and which I frequently relate to those with whom I am familiarly acquainted. It happened about fifteen yean ago, while I was yet young in the business. To com mence: I chanced to be in the city of Washington, on my way Booth, and. as usual, was desirous of progressing on my journey as rapidly as possible. It was about five P. M, when 1 arrived. 1 did not wait until after dinner; 1 wanted to know the proprietor of tbe leading paper in the capital, and to mako a contract for advertising; so to 1 straightway proceeded, lie was out riding. I was informed, and would not return to his office again that day. I inquired for his residence, and, this ascertained I determined to see him that night, as I desired to leave early on tbe morning of tbe following day. Dinner being over, 1 started out in search of Mr. Wallach. Now, Mr. Editor, I presume you are acquainted with the said Mr Wallach, of the Washington Evening Htar. If you are not, permit me to say that he is a gentleman well worthy of your acquaintance: but to the interview. Finding Mr. Wallach at home, I presented my card, and related my baßiness. His reply was polite, but pungent, and to the point, in something like these words: This is not my office, sir; I can be found there from 10 A. M. toB P. M., and my clerks attend to advertising.' 'But, Mr. Wallach,' I remonstrated, 'that la all very well, hut 1 want to know gou. I wish to leave in the early morning train, and I know you will accommodate me.’ ’Well, what do you want, sir, in the way <jf advertising?’ I showed him the space, for which he immediately uamod a price, and which I accepted as quickly. After rlosiug tho bargain, he remarked, 'lx you had left this over until morning you could have had It for out- half tho .sum-yes, probably foT lees than half, if you had fought hard.’ I replied, Tf that is the case, prebably I bad better pa> half-yearly, in advance?' He guessed that was a good Idea, and I paid for the w T holo six months in advance; but, remember, I kne f Mr. Wallach." Editor —“Doctor, do you mean to state that you pur sue this liberal courae with all the papers in which you advertise, and aro you acquainted with tho publisheraof twemy seven hundred papers ?” Doctor. "With the proprietors of all the leading papers, and the majority of the others, I enjay a perso nal acquaintance, and to auch papers aa the A'ttc York Herald , Weekly Tribune, and Independent, I have some. tiracß paid from fifteen hunired to three thousand dollars tor the siDgle insertion of an advertisement, knowing that In such coses the amount of spaco oocupiod, and the importance of the transaction, would necessitate an iu terview. On one occasion I offered the aum of FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAKB for a page in the Sew York Ilerald. The offer was accepted, but afterward de clined, on account of press of matter, notwithstanding it was double the usual advertising rates. This was at tho time of tho fall of Klchmond. To concludo, I always prefer dealing directly with publishers; friendly rela tions once established, I have no fear of accepting thelc best rates." Editor.—" Well, doctor, I guess I shall have to follow your advice, and eer Mr. Wallach. I am ploaaed with tbe interview, and whenever inquiries aro made regard ing tbe value of tbe Home Journal, as an advertising medium, you must freely give the result of j our expe rience with that paper."
