The merchant who tries TO make
himself believe that he can not afford
to advertise makes a serious mistake,
because he is treating his advertising
as a reproductive expense, when in
fact il is the means through which
he CAN afford not only ITS cost but
which enables him to develop his bus
mess rather than simply attend TO it.
Ask the really successful man his
secret and his answer is Advertising"
Ask him the secret OF Advertising
and the answer is Good Copy" Ask
the secret Of good copy and there is
no answer that will adequately suit
everybody. Good Copy is like good
salesman; il can not be sterotyped in
its message nor wild in it's argument.

public, not having inside information,
could not take this bold statement
seriously; certainly he never bought
that line on such an argument.
Good copy is never prepared hur-
riedly even though it may be made
up of only two or three words. Brief
ness is essential to drive home the full
power of an advertisement and the
fact that whole story is told in few
words is evidence of the thoughtful
study back OF it. Ask someone TO de-
scribe a nationally advertised article
and you get an answer in an average
of twenty words; the advertiser has
taught us to describe his product in
his own brief language.
Reference is often made in this
column to the National Advertisers;
the purpose being to quote as exam
pies the ads that are familiar to all
who read and further-for the pur-
puse OF demonstrating that what can
be done through the National Publ
city Mediums can be done locally
through the medium of your home
paper
The good advertiser never forgets
that his ad must reflect the quality
of the article advertised and this he
drives home with the consciousness
that repetition never tires as much as
il emphasizes.
