ASERIES OF Ten TALKS on ADVERTISING NJ >
~ ten b, Seymour Eaton Of PhnAdslphia 1NO.

The advertising science is anything butexact.
1t is an easy matter to diagnose symptoms. But in
advertising, as in medicine, very different causes
produce very similar disturbances; eye strain, a
wabbly steamer deck, or green watermelon; each
means an upset stomach.
But there are SOM broad general principles
which are as permanent as the eternal hills.
Mouth to mouth talk is the great secret of popular
advertising success. AS a general rule people are
short on talk. They are always running out. The
hopper must be fed. The shrewd advertiser scores
every time he produces a new topic of conversation.
If he fails to make people talk about his goods he
makes them talk about himself. They wash with his
soap or drink his tea or rub on his axle grease just
to get in touch with him.
Talk can be created about the most CO mmon-
place things; baked beans or tooth powder or linen
collars. You need only to know what switch to turn
on.
Human nature has not differed for six thousand
years; but the point of view is constantly changing.
If the people remained the same; if business
conditions remained the same; if society and the
weather remained the same, then the advertising of
last year would apply this year. But it doesn't. The
point of view is different. We are in a continuous
turmoil of change. The successful advertiser, must
live right up even with the clock. Advertise every
day to meet the conditions of today. An adver-
tisement that made a big hit last year may fall flat and
dead this year. There is in everything a fullness of
time; a season when the fruit is ripe; periods when
all conditions seem to lend themselves to success.
The advertiser must have discernment sharp enough
and vision clear enough to know the year and the
month and the day of the month in which the people
are not only living, but in which they are thinking.
Make goods or entertainment or social position
hard to obtain or scarce in amount and then it is that
people fall over each other in the mad rush to see
somebody else get left. The moment you put up the
bars and say Don't then it is that people want to
climb. The sweetest apples in your n~eighbors orchard
are those on the tree nearest the dog.
