 Publicity, like cleo tricity, Is yet in its in- fancy. None knows the limits of either.
 But 1t Is patent to all that newspaper advertis- ing Is the foundation of all publicity.
 Now, listen. There isn't a successful business man in the country who, when cornered, will not confess that a great measure of his success IS due to advertising.
