L ist Monday a couple of itinerant advertising sharks made their debut in our city, and commenced business by calling on some of our “business” people to advertise in their scheme. The scheme introduced by them is a common frame 16 by 18 inches, in which is placed the “card” of the “business” man or firm who patronizes them. The price charged our “business” people was from one dollar up to three dollars, ac cordiug to the “impression” made. They succeeded in getting about six of our “business” people to “go up against” their scheme. The job work was done at this office, for which we received our price. Twenty-five of these cards were printed, of which each of the “Advertisers” was furnished with one or more, io be hung up in . some conspicuous place to “draw” patronage. For the benefit of those of our ‘business” people who think this mode of Advertising will benefit them, we will say that another day has been fixed by these pirates to again visit our city. Let “business” men be ready.
