The month as a division Of
time is an arbitrary affair, exist
ing chiefly on paper. There is
little or nothing in the life ofthe
individual which is marked by
it or corresponds with it. The
week, on the other hand, is a
real, conscious unit of time,
sharply marked in the human
mind and conduct by Sunday,
by "pay-day,' by "bargain-
day." by innumerable human
Institutions which occur once q
Week. =
There is a distinct, percep-
tible advantage to the advertiser
in attracting the attention of the
buyer during each of these week
units. The recurrence each
week of the idea which you wish
to impress on the reader, be-
comes in the course of time a
habit with him, and fixes that
idea with a permanence which,
ifsome week-units we're skipped,
would be less surely achieved.
