lightenment and business through null

''As a man advertises from day to
day in his own business, so is he. 1t
is really the old-fashioned sign of con.
version, taking stand in meeting,
1t is the formulation of your business
creed, your confession before men,
You are putting into form your best
promptings, your fondest hopes COM
mercially. What you have written, you
have written, and when it stands out
from the printed page day after day.
it may speak to the necessities and
purses of others, but it speaks to your
sense of consistency and integrity.
IF at the outset your promises are
fairer than your performances, there
is hope; for your copy proves that you
know what you ought to do in your
dealings with the public. Give con-
science time and it will catch up with
your copy; for self-accusation is a
self-starter, and is not restricted by
the speed laws.
Advertising may be self-revelation
to begin with; but on a long contract
it is pretty liable to become self
regeneration For we all aspire to be-
come what our friends feel we are
capable of becoming. 1t is the dis
trusted that despair Publicity is the
advertisers pledge, his covenant with
the consumer in the open.
Daily repeated and daily tested it
should come to be in good time-for
true worth is not gained at a bound
but tolls upward through the night

Publicity the

Publicity can do for us what the
light that fell upon the Damascus road
