If 1t Fits You Wear
This Cap
By Herbert Kaufman

Advertising isn't cruclble with which
lazy, bigoted and incapable merchants can turn
incompetency into success-but one into which
brains and tenacity and courage can be poured
and changed into dollars. 1t is only short
cut across the felds-not moving PLATFORM
You can't get there" without going some.
It's game in which the worker-not
the shirker-gets rich.
By its measurement every man stands for
what he is and for what he does, not for what
he was and what he did.
So Every day in the advertising world is
another day and has to be taken care of with
the same energy as its yesterday.
The gutter can't survive where the plug
ger has the ghost of chance.
Advertising doesn't take the place of
business talent or business management 1t
simply tells what the business is and how it is
managed. The snob whose father created
and who is content to live on what was handed
to him can't stand up against the man who
knows he must build for himself.
What makes you think that you are en-
titled to prosper as we'll as competitor who
works twice as hard for his prosperity?
Why should as nanv people come to your
store as patronze shop that makes an en-
deavor to get their trade and shows them that
it is worth while to come to its doors?
Why should newspaper send as many
customers to you In half the time it took to fill
an establishment which advertised twice as long
and paid twice as much for it's publicity?
This is the day when the best man wins
latter he proves that he is the best man
when the best store wins, when it has shown
that it is the best store-when the best goods
win, after they've been demonstrated to be the
best goods.
If you want the plum you can't get it by
lying under the tree with your mouth open
waiting for it to drop-too many other men
are willing to climb out on the limb and risk
their necks in their eagerness to get it away
from you
1t is mans game-this Advertising
just hanging on and tugging and straining all
the time to get and keep ahead 1t is the
finite expression of the law of competition
which sits in blindfolded justice over the
markets of the world
