ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN BY WILLIAM c. FREEMAN

When a merchant goes away
from his own town on a vacation
or on business trip, if he takes
the trouble to listen to the COM
ments on advertisements read by
the guests while lounging in the
hotel corridors, he can form a
very good idea of the KIND OF
ADVERTISING THAT AP-
PEALS to them.
The consensus of opinion of a
number of guests at Pinehurst
recently was that the SIMPLY
WORDED ADVERTISE
MENT. describing the article to
be sold in a plain. straightforward
way, is the MOST EFFECTIVE
advertisement.
If anybody ever had any doubt
about the VALUE OF ADVER-
TISING-i he ever had an idea
that people do not read advertise
ments carefully and with great
interest-le him spend a few
evenings in a hotel corridor at
any Winter or Summer resort.
NOT ONLY ARE THE ADJ
REFRESHMENTS R f A D,
BUT THEY ARE COMMENT
ED ON-favorably and unfavor-
ably.
