HEADFORD NEWS Correspondent: Mrs. H. Acreman R. R. 2 Gomley, Ont. Phone TUrner 4-2238 Notices of arrivals and sailings of ships, with lists of cargoes, are 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 anviis which had been lost, and read: Lost on the 10. of April last off of Mr. Shiffen’s Wharf! in Boston. Two Iron Anvils, weighing between 120 and 140 pounds each: Whoever has taken them up, and will bring or give true Intelligence of them to John Campbell Postmasa ter, (also editor of the newspaper) shall have a sufficient reward. 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. Gradually, as the confusion among the jumble of advertise- ments grew. want ads concerning one clasg of commodity or ser- vice were grouped together’to facilitate the reader’s finding what he was looking for. Credit for “classifying” the advertisements is given to Ben- jamin H. 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 American. 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. 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 passer:- 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 through those early want ads. 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. The oldest newspaper paragraph fitting the description of an advertisement appears to haye been a “want ad” for a book on botany, printed in an early German newsbook in 1591.
