How to Test a Newspaper
Advertisement

A single newspaper advertisement, standing
alone, cannot perhaps be said to possess within itself
the quality of persistency of pertinacity. 1t can,
however, form a part of and bear out a plan which
a business house has adhered to strictly for years.
The trade mark, or name of a house which is
reproduced in newspaper publicity in an individual
or characteristic style, indicates that each adver-
tisement containing it is one of a series or that
the use of advertising space is an established policy
of the house.
In no other way can a merchant win conf
dence or establish so thorough a credit With the
public as by advertising prudently and peySisteHty
in the newspapers.
Confidence is a plant of slow growth, but per-
sistency is its sun, rain and fertilizer.
When the late Frank Cooper, of Siegel,
Cooper q Co., was running a store IN Peoria and
needed $4,000 he did not 60 to the bank for it. He
frankly told the people that he wanted to raise this
amount of money and got it by offering them in
ducements for immediate purchases.
Presidency in an advertiser is necessary to
establish such q reputation with the people that he
can command cooperation like this.
An advertiser establishes his character with
the public the same as he does with his bank by
fulfill them. A credit with the great general public
is a very present help in time of need.
A persistent advertising campaign covering a
period of three years in legitimate newspapers will
seldom fail to produce a good will asset that is worth
more to the advertiser than the entire amount spent
m newspaper space during that time.
In preparing a newspaper advertisement, re-
member this quality of persistency-the fact that it
is published as a part of a houses policy and will
either build or break down prestige.
