Abstract:

This article looks at advertisements printed in North Carolina newspapers between 1751 and 1778 for information about the communities in which the papers were printed, as the editorial portions of the papers carried little comment on the local scene. With an abundance of advertisements being concerned with matters relating to property and trade, the author gives specific attention to advertisements relating to slaves and servants, real and personal property advertisements, and trade, commerce and industry reflected in advertising.
