Girls may think this farfetched.
Their one thought is to snatch at JOY

that the Joy that counts most is tbs

ball, the harder you throw 1t the
quicker IT returns
The girl who starts on Joy quest

time" and then go about her sunshine
shedding with patronizing airs. She
may give Joy, but the chances are that
her patronage will be felt and resent.

the better the results Good copy for one class Of
trade might be very poor copy for another. But there

Your advertisement should be attractive enough

notice than announcement as big as sheet of note

and if it isn't read no matter if it has ten million
circulation it isn't worth postage stamp. You are
not investing IN circulation but in readers Of adyer
Hsements.
- The next point Is to make your advertisement
readable As a rule the most readable copy is printed
in fairly large book type one kind of type with a
display heading two and the reading matter divided
into easy paragraphs Most advertisers think that by
crowding the space to its utmost they are getting
bigger value for their money. Within reasonable
limits the very opposite is true. Ten words read are
