BUSINESS MAN Says
ADVERTISING BRING RESULTS

f. J. Berlet, president Of the Wal
nut Street Business Mems Associa-
tion. of Philadelphia addressing an
audience at the Y. NJ. C. A. last night
on Advertising" had this to say re-
garding newspaper advertising:
Newspaper advertising Is, without
doubt, the best general medium for
the business man to use. whether he
be a manufacturer who is trying 10
effect sales for the retailer by inter-
esting the consumer in a general way,
or whether he is a retailer making a
direct appeal.
PLENTY of white space is particu-
Iarly important in newspaper adver-
tising. as it helps distinguish the copy
from that Of other advertisements inn
mediately adjoining. Never put too
many words in too small a space.
Constant newspaper advertising
and repetition of the plain and in
teresting facts concerning the product
you wish to sell makes an impression
and is bound to bring results"
He also said that advertising,
whether It be direct. mail, poster,
newspaper or word-Of-mouth. 10 bring
results must be truthful, direct, OF
simple Anglo-Saxon words, grammat-
ically arranged. and never bear a slur
or knock"
