LIFE AS AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM. “An advertiser ts known by the company he keeps.” What Lyman D. Morse, the veteran Advertising Agent of No. 38 Park Row, New York City, thinks of LIFE. Lire, New York, July 21, 1899. New York City. Gentlemen : I believe in Lire. It is a choice literary dainty served to a class of readers who appreciate the good things of Lire in more senses than one. The advertisement of a first-class thing is as appreciated by them as a joke with a first-class point. There is no better medium for reaching a class who can afford to be liberal in their purchases, Yours very truly, y, Mr. Morse is known wherever in America the advertisement of Pears’ Soap appears, and has probably expended more money for foreign advertisers in this country than any other agent. In addition to this, he handles and controls the advertising of many large New England business houses, such as the Potter Drug and Chemical Corporation, Rumford Chemical Works, John I. Brown & Co., and Joseph Burnett & Co. ADVERTISING RATES ON APPLICATION. . LIFE PUBLISHING COMPANY, NEW YORK LIFE’S BUREAU OF BACHELOR BEAUTIES. ESCORTS FOR LADIES. BEST MEN AND USHERS FOR WEDDINGS.
