An Advertising Address.

“America is a good country,” wrote a Hungarian watchmaker to a friend at his birthplace. “I have only been six months here, yet I have established myself in business. You will find my address on the card inclosed herein.” A few weeks later the Hungarian received a letter, whose address covered" the entire envelope. It read as follows: ‘‘Sigmund Ramay, dealer in watches, clocks, jewelry; watches repaired andmade better than new. Good prices f<sr old gold. Jewelry appraised almost for nothing. Diamonds set. A large assortment of watch chains, finer than gold ones. Weekly installments taken. No. Avenue B, in the middle of the block.”—New York Commercial Advertiser.
