It has often been remarked how artistic artistic lly from a typographical point of view the advertisements in The James Papers are set this point of excellence is not by any means a new condition for the compositors compositors in this house have been required to set advts well. Few if any town weeklies weeklies in this country devote as much care and skill in the composition of advertisements advertisements as we do, for we realize the value of a properly set advt. over the slovenly style that too often appear in country papers. - It is somewhat of a coincidence that agents of an automobile firm advertising for the first t me in our papers and the Shoe and Leather Journal of Toronto should comment in flattering terms on the high character of our advertisements about the same time. Here is an editorial editorial paragraph from the Shoe and Leather Journal which speaks for itself : The Christmas advertisement of Fred R. Foley, shoe retailer, Bowmanville, is one of the most suitable and smartly arranged advertisements that could be inserteed. He brings home the timely truth that the most acceptable gifts are those that are useful, which include suit cases, club bags, trunks and house slippers, all of which are featured by nice illustration, and smart description, while the range of prices is indicated. The advertisement is splendidly splendidly set up, is not too crowded, and is one of the best Christmas ads., that has appeared appeared in any of the papers. Mr. Foley does a large mail order trade and has sent shoes to every province in Canada excepting excepting one, and to manv -places outside the Dominion. [An exact copy of Mr. Foley's advertisement was therewith reproduced].
