Show JC rolcHKlniitil .l.f.Mi May A'lvertiso. I am firmly of tho opinion that: thereis a profitable field for development in tut direction of advertising by profession) men. After giving tho enbject a good deal of thought and weighing the objections ob-jections already raised and to be anticipated antici-pated I have a t.-etlled conviction that the lawyer, the doctor, the di utisf, ilif. architect or any other professional mai; can call to his aid the limitless power ol printeis' ink, hd( Jvertiso in displnj type in tho advertising columns of the newspaper or magazine to his advantage and without h i- u f self respect or public estimation. Tins question has received the attention of professional men as well as the advertising fraternity, and, with due respect to thcuo who hare discnaseff it, I maintain that, tlley have failed tc approach the Bubjsct lroui its true point of observation. I am aware that custom and a supposed sup-posed unwritten law, which is fostered by the exclusive and super-dignified element ele-ment of all professions, frown upon the mere mention of this subject. It dot not follow that their ban of displeasure' and sarcastic comments in any mannei reflect upon the enterprising and independent inde-pendent man, who, confident of his own worth, his professional ability, moral and social equality, trampling on custom, cus-tom, appeals to tho common sense of the public for the coi rectness of his acts and motives.
