Modern Advertisements
BY EBERT HUBBARD.

Modern advertisements are neither
blatant nor latent.
They are never fiambacious nor
tiatulent; instead they are fecund and
fruitful.
Blatant advertisements are those
that bawl and brag and buster.
The man stands in the doorCof his
booth and pounds a drum.
Such methods may attract atten'
ton, but once our curiosity Is salts
fed we cling close to our weasel-skin
and hug our prejudices preconceived.
The blatant advertisement with the
ballyhoo bias defeats its purpose be-
cause IL repels.
1t cheats US OF the Joy OF discov-
cry, Just as teachers who are too
wise cause US TO close our cosmic
pores and crawl into our psychic cavi-
ties, pulling the aperture IN after tbs.
Latent ads. are those written by
blase octogenarians whose souls are
In cold storage. They give US pish-
mince frappe,. and hand us the Cd
vious In tins.
Such need not be considered. for,
while they might do to publicize the
Mummy Trust, they appeal to people
OF purpose. nix.
Modern ads. are pure truth-exag-
geration existing only as chemical
trace.
The whole Is favored with the VII
Of goodwill and tinted with wisdom.
After this the product is gently
rubbed down with the carborundum
Of surprise.
II IL then ready for the consumer.
The brazen bazoo Is not in use.
The cluck and click, and ge-ap and
golong OF overstatement Is ausge-
spielt
Modern ads purl and cuddle and
COO. They possess Tilt and tinke,
linger long and late, and have an
aura and an aroma that make you
stop, look and listen.
They lure like lutte In which there
Is no rift.
They do not ask you either to read
or peruse them. You do-because
you cannot help It.
You are human, and being human
you are also divine.
