Talk to the people.
The first advertiser PROBABLY did 1t to
oblge a friend, and then charged it up to
Profit and Loss.
Today, the shrewdest advertisers regard
their publicity appropriation as Capital In
vested.
And the evolution has taken place with
in a mighty few years.
Advertising consists in creating the i'm
pulse to buy, plus
The building up Of a name; always trans
ferabIe into cash as Good Will;
The establishment of a code of COM
mercial integrity, the backbone of Good
Will.
But remember-
No man ever prospered who lied about
his goods
This Spring Is destined to see a forging
ahead, a setting-up of broken fences.
Business has gotten over its fever and
ague. $1,000

Advertising as Capital M0ested

The small merchant is going to feel the
impetus of trade just as keenly as his
big neiehbor-that is, the small merchant
who has caught up with the procession
sufficiently TO see the value of advertising.
Right non the impulse TO buy will de-
veloo of its own accord. 1t will increase
with every day, and the question will not
be What" nor How muCh?" so much
as "Where?'
This, then, will be the harvest-time of
the neutrality-suspicious. who places his
publicity in the home-where all buying
originates.
The Washington Times goes daily into
more homes thousands mOre-than
.any Of its compehtors-hOmeS Of alert,
responsive people.
Start in your biggest and most econom-
iCal field.
And count the money YOU spend as
capital, not cost.
