John Wanamaker, probably one of the worlds greatest advertisers, says of advertising: " If there is one enterprise on earth that a 'quitter should leave severely alone, it is advertising. To make success of advertising one must be prepared to stick to it like barnacle on boats bottom. He should know before he begins it that he must spend money-lots of it. Somebody should tell him, also, that he cannot hope to reap results commensurate with his ex- penditure early ill the game. Adyer- tising doesn't jerk; it pulls. It begins very gently at first, but the pull is steady. It increases day by day and year by year, until it exerts an irrepres- sible power. It is likened to team pulling heavy load. A thousand spasmodic, jerking pulls will not budge the load; while one-half the power ex- erted in steady effort will start and keep it moving There are three ways to make advertising pay, and these are the only ways. There are no others. First, is to keep at it; second, is keep at it; third, to keep at it."
