What Determines Size of AID?

In seeking to find answer to the question: what
size should an ad bes'' many experiments have been
made These have tended to build contradictory
clusions Some tests for instance would prove that full
page is four times effective quarter page But
such proof is faacous In fact there have never been
enough eases to establish any such law.
These experiments, purposed for determining some
kind OF law, made the basis of few advertise
ments For instance they ask a man to look through
magazine and see what ads he remember Then they
have another do the same thing Then it is found
after adding all these ads up that the subjects recall four
times as many full page advertisements they do half
page ads
But alas, so many different kinds of factors enter
into such test that the conclusions can't be final For
instance may remember full page advertisement
OF Williams Soap because that is the kind with which he
himself shaves. So, If he recalled Williams Soap ad,
that wouldn't that he remembered it solely on
count of the fact that it occupied large space.
What's the uses We can never fix any universal law
that will determine all questions of space Yet there
ought to be possibility Of knowing just how big
space you should for certain kind of article
under certain conditions By experiment you can find
such answer rather conclusively But, them if
YOU to those tests in different parts of the
country You would know with any mathematical
certainty For the quarter you in the East and
the hafpage in the West will bring various results And
if the sales in the West twice great as in the
East that would not necessarily prove that your half
page twice effective the quarterpage Other
causes may have brought the result.
Size depends on the kind of product you have to
advertise and upon the merchandising conditions which
surround your proposition For instance, suppose that
your product wins voluntary interest the part of the
look for your ad and read it of their
accord Then YOU do not need much space as if YOU
required involuntary attenon-as if you had to make
your prospect read Your ad in spite of his instinct In
other words, if you advertise separator in
agricultural publication You would enjoy voluntary in
teres because people in the market for that kind of
thing at that time would probably, of their accord,
look through the advertising pages of that publication
