lit is wrong to be blindy contented.
It is wrong to tie yourself up-to bind your
self by time contract with any advertising
agent.
1t is wrong because it kills incentive. 1t les

The advertiser who gets the utmost attention
is the man who is never caught
Our rule henceforth is-no contracts with

We seek advertising on the plea that we
make it pay better than others. And we expect
to keep it only so long as we do that.
If any agency make any campaign pay
better than we, that advertising belongs else

BY the same rule, if we can make your ad-

belongs to us.

That is what we want to tell you To start

We have far outgrown all rival agencies,

An Advertiser Should Never
Tie Himself Up

We pay our Copy Chief 1000 per week, be-
cause no other man has yet proved the power to
sell SO many goods.
Each of our able men has won his place here
by outselling other men.
Each man, to hold his place, is constantly
compelled to get better results than can any
outsider.
These men work together-work in Adj
visory Boards-so that every campaign gets
some help from them all
ALI these facts indicate that, in ali probahil-
ity, we can get the best results.
But there are ways to show. in your partictf-
lar case, our results as compared with others.
1t can be done without any commitment on
your part-without disturbing your present
relations.
It can be done in way which will settle the
matter beyond any possible question
The result may be-and will probably be-to
multiply the results OF your advertising.
1t may show you how to get. for the Same
commission, inmeasurably better agency serv-
ice than you are getting now.
The proof may be worth thousands Of dollars
to you. 1t has been worth millions to some
