A story is told Of prisoner who called the judge
fool The judge fined him $40. He paid the fine
but asked: DO you fine people for thinking your
Honor?' The judge answered in the negative.
WELL he said II think you're fool STILL
If should print my personal opinion of some big
advertisers like not I'd get fined but is perfectly
safe to think.
If a traveller came to you and talked Of the stuff
which his house prints advertising you would put
him down at once as an idiot.
The talk is unnatural; sounding brass and a
tnkling cymbal unreal, insincere dead. The reader
feels that isn't the advertiser who is talking; that
there really isn't anybody talking; that the words
just printing.
Good advertising is good talk the frank, honest
kind that convinces.
An advertisement of one hundred words should
make the reader think five thousand words; and
herein is the whole secret of good copy 1t isn't what
you say that counts but the chain of thought which
your advertising creates
The more you fuss your advertising copy the
poorer the result 1t isn't job to stutter about to
apologize for or. to burn midnight oil over If you
want to make an advertising hit all you need to do
is to talk to the reader of the newspaper you talk
across the counter to a customer.
Two Irish1nen chased wildcat up tree. Pat
went up to shake him off while Mike remained below
to catch him when he fell. Both successful but
Mike and the wildcat in rough and
tumble scrap below Pat called out "Shall Oi
DOWN an help you how'd him, Mixer Nav!
Begorra come DOWN. Pat an help me let him 60"
Advertising is wild cat up tree. Once you
have shaken him off, the problem Of letting go is
quite as difficult the problem Of "howlding on
But what you need in either case is nerve; and
reasonable assurance regarding the future.
It rarely pays to splurge Make your appropria-
ton deliberately and carefully Prepare good copy.
Advertise continuously; every day or at least every
week. Your store is the seed the plant. The
advertising is the rain and the sunshine You can't
rush the growth. It may take weeks OF months to
produce flowers or fruit.
