1t Pays To Advertise.
Fra Elbertus Says:

He who imagines that modern ad-
vertising is the exploitation of the
public is a bicuspidati diplidocus and
would do well to come out of his COM
atose state and currycomb his convo-
lutions.
Advertising is the education of the
public as to who you are, where you
are, and what you have to offer, in
way of skill. talent or commodity
Let the truth be known about your
business.
The only man who should not adver-
tise is the one who has nothing to offer
in way of service, or one who cannot
make good.
All such should seek the friendly
shelter of oblivion, where dwell those
who. shrouded in Stygian shades, fore
gather gloom. and are out of the game.
Not to advertise is to be nominated
for membership in the Down-and-out
club
The idea of the ethical dentist who
refrains from advertising was original
ly founded on the proposition derived
from the medicos that advertising was
fakery This view once had certain
basis in fact when the only people who
advertised were transients. The mer-
chant who lived in town assumed
that every one knew where he was and
what he had to offer. The doctor the
same.
This no longer applies. We are liv
Ing so fast, and inventing so fast, and
changing so fast, and there are so
many of us, that he who does not adj
vertise is left to the spiders, the cock
reaches and the microbes.
The fact that you have all the bust
ness you can well manage is no excuse
now for not advertising.
The reputation that endures or the
institution that lasts. is the one that is
properly advertised.
Advertising is fast becoming a fine
art Its theme is Human Wants, and
where, when and how they may be
gratified.
1t interests, inspires, educates- some
time amuses-informs and thereby up
lifts and benefits, lubrcating existence
and helping the old world on its way
to the Celestial City of Fine Minds
