A History of Advertising from the Earliest Times.
Sampson, Henry
Advertising -- History
----If any Justice of the Peace wants a clerk, I can help to one that
has been so seven years; understands accounts, to be butler, also to
receive money. He also can shave and buckle wigs.
The editor frequently gives special testimony as to the respectability
of the advertiser:--
----If any one wants a wet nurse, I can help them, as I am informed,
to a very good one.
----I know a gentlewoman whose family is only her husband, herself and
maid, and would to keep her company take care of a child, two or
three, of three years old or upwards. She is my good friend, and such
a one that whoever put their children to her, I am sure will give me
thanks, and think themselves happy, let them be what rank they will.
----I have been to Mr Firmin’s work house in Little Britain, and seen
a great many pieces of what seems to me excellent linen, made by the
poor in and about London. He will sell it at reasonable rates, and I
believe whatever house keepers go there to buy will not repent, and on
Wednesdays and Saturdays in the forenoon he is always there himself.
----I have met with a curious gardener that will furnish any body that
sends to me for fruit trees, and floreal shrubs, and garden seeds. I
have made him promise with all solemnity that whatever he sends shall
be purely good, and I verily believe he may be depended on.
----One that has waited on a lady divers years, and understands all
affairs in housekeeping and the needle, desires some such place. She
seems a discreet, staid body.
