advertisemen - Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :

  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.
  344; 1 Chit. Pr. 295.
