Artistic Avertisting.

Undoubtedly the Ivory Soap people deserve credit for the host grade of Illustrations now being used for advertising purposes. The series of full-page drawings which have been appearing on the last page of the Century represent some of the most capable book and magaxino artists In the country. The series must have cost no small figure. As yet the “Vay up” artists do not sign the work they do for advertisers, but I apprehend that it will not be long ere we shall see in the advertising columns such names as George Wharton Edwards, E. W. Kemble, etc. Such men as these bring to their work, besides mere mechanical skill, a trained Imagination and an artistlo conception of things. These qualities, when used in connection with advertisements, command scarcely less interest than when used in the ordinary literary way.—Printer’* Ink, Aug. 19,1891.
