The mercury of competition may be

every mail brings the advertisements
of out-of-town houses, which with the

The advertisement which suits you
and suits your wife and your minister
and your doctor and your lawyer and
your secretary and the members of
your club may not suit the public.
The advertising suit that the public
wants is the suit that fits the public.
Not what you think but what others
think creates trade.
Don't write your own advertisements
if you can find somebody else to write
them for you.
A good business man ought to know
too much to prepare his advertising.
Nobody can know too much about the
making and the selling, but many a
man knows too much about them to
properly tell the people what the peo-
pie want to know about them.
The advertisement writer is man
of composite qualities and he stands
with one hand on the outside and the
other hand on the inside and bumps the
two together.
All things being equal, the larger the
advertisement the more it will be read,
but an attractive small advertisement
is better than poorly written one of
three times its size.
The good of advertising is in the har
monious combination Of quality and
quantity.
Advertising is experimental and so
Is everything else in business. If it
were not so, all of us would be rich in

Advertising is not a business side
issue. 1t is a part of business neces-

Advertise what you sell, not yourself,
unless you are for sale.
People don't want to buy you and
they may want to buy your goods.
If one half of the advertisement is
for the firm name, nine tenths of that
half may be wasted.
Spasmodic advertising is as silly as
spasmodic eating.

bring immediate returns deceives him.
