Some advertisements are read;others
are not. The fact is, an advertisement
is very much Hk a news item, or an
editorial paragraph. If it contains
something and is moderately well ex-
pressed, people read it, and often re-
read it, otherwise they pass it over.
There is plenty Of opportunity for the
display OF tact and real genius in writ
ing advertisements.
