Judicious advertising always pays
If you have good thing, advertise il. If
you havn't, don't
If you don't mean to mind your own
business it will not pay to advertise
Never run down your opponents goods
in public. Let him do his own adver-
tising.
You can't eat enough in one week to last
a whole year and you can't advertise On
that plan, either
\ large advertisement once and thef
discontinued creates the impression that
| the man has fzzled
It's as true of advertising as of anything
else in the world-if it's worth doing at all
it 5 worth doing well
Injudicious advertising is like fishing
where these are no fish. You need not le
the lines fall in the wrong place.
/ If you can arouse curiosity by an adyer
tisement it is great point gained. Tht
fair sex don hold all the curiosity in tht
world
The people who advertise only once il
three months forget that most folks can
remember anything longer than about sev
on days
4 standing advertisement, even thougl
small one, is like a sign over a store
ever in sight, and a constant suggestion t
the public Of something the public sh0ul
have and the place to get it.
