WRITING EFFECTIVE ADS.

 Yet u well written advertisement is uc. a matter of smart sentences, humorous coacyits, or literary gifts. r. is simply the art of talking direct about your goods and their prices, as a merchant would talk to man over the counter Any one who is able to conduct a store con do it.
