I'm; THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Thursday, July 30, 1953 ' The oldest newspaper paragraph fitting the description of an advertisement appears to have been a “want ad" for a hook on botany. printed in an early German newsbook in 1591. Notices of arrivals and sailings of ships. with lists of cargoes, “I?! found in most sixteenth-century English newspapers. The first paid advertisement in an American newspaper appeared in «the second issue of the Boston Newsletter (May 1, 1704). It was " about two anvils which had been lost. and read: ’ Lost on the IO. of April last off of Mr. Shifien's Wharfi in Boston. Two Iron Anvils. weighing between 120 and 140 -V pounds each: Whoever has taken them 'up. and will bring “Nor give true Intelligence of them to John Campbell Postmas» ter. (also editor of the newspaper) shall have a sufficient reward. Credit for "classifying" the advertisements is given to Ben- 'jamin E. Day, who founded the New York Sun in 1833. Wants ads have furnished one of the richest sources for his- torians seeking to learn about the everyday life of Americans. News stories in colonial newspapers often were colored according to the publisher's ideas. but want ads were honest and forthright. telling researchers about the needs and interests of our ancestors. Gradually, as the confusion among the jumble of advertise- ments grew, want ads concerning one class of commodity or ser- vice were grouped together to facilitate the reader's finding what he was looking for. At first advertising occupied a relatively minor place in Am- erican newspapers, but by the middle of the eighteenth century many printers were becoming prosperous from the publication of three. four, and five pages of miscellaneous advertisements. ..~ In Greek mythology. when Psche ran away. Venus requested Mercury, “to proclaim her in public, and announce a reward to him who shall find her.” Both Greeks and Romans used the walls of their houses as places to scratch or paint inscriptions \concerning their affairs. Many such inscriptions were found when Pompeii was excavated. Want Ads Are Not New; They Are as Old as Recorded History. Advertising has existed as far back as man used written sym- bols. and probably well before that. Back in early Babylon the merchants employed barkers to describe their wares to passers- by. The first written advertisements were want ads. They were announcements on papyri offering rewards for the return of run- away slaves and bond servants. Lost articles were also sought flfi-ough those early want ads. ‘ RICHMOND HILL.
