Great Crowds
of People

The great problem confronting the public speak
er, the amusement promoter the politician seeking
office, and the business man, is just this:
"How can we effectually reach people-great
crowds Of people-without expending enormous
sums?
"What can we do to assure hearing-or read
ingof cur message by large audiences, and not pay
too dearly for the privilege?'
Tie degree of success reached by the speaker
the promoter, the politicians the business man. de-
pends very largely on how much he knows of the art
of reaching many people without overspending.
