ADVERTISEMENT. A 'notice' published either in handbills or in a newspaper.
2. The law in many instances requires parties to advertise in order to
give notice of acts which are to be done; in these cases, the advertisement
is in general equivalent to notice.
3. When an advertisement contains the terms of sale, or description of
the property to be sold, it will bind the seller; and if there be a material
misrepresentation, it may avoid the contract, or at least entitle the
purchaser to a compensation and reduction from the agreed, price. Kapp's R.
