Benefits of Advertising
" Nobody reads arivertis- ments" i* a common cry with people of oldfashioned ideas who are determined not to understand the sisrns of the times, Sucb people miirht (remarks the Auckland Star) be struck wl'h the following plain facts concerning two small " Wanted" advertisements inserted indiscriminately in our columns the other day. Two youn< . men advertised their desire to jointly rent a bedroom . and have found no fewer than forty one heads of **• respectable families" willing to afford the desired accommodation. In another case, a " Father" advertised for a home for two young children, atd, io response, forty-three people have written, offering to undertake the responsibility, and stating terms and full particulars. While this proves that newspaper advertisements are carefully perused, it also offers tbe consoling reflection that lodgings in the city are not hard to obtain, and that a " comfortable home" for motherless children can be fonnd without having recourse to the wholesale ** baby-farming" people, with their cruel tender mercies.
