would find that the publicity end of
their business would practically take
care of itself. 1t is no trick to write
good advertisements if you have a
definite object in view. If you have
a definite selling campaign mapped
out you could scarcely be suppressed
from making it public. But if a mer-
chant is not looking ahead-is not
planning his business-but is depend
ig upon intuition to guide him in each
exegency as it arises, there is small
place to hang an advertisement on.
The result is that he feels bored or
peeved when the newspaper or other
publicity agency mentions advertising
to him.
Divide your responsibility, and par
ticularly the detail, with subordinatee,
Mr.. Manager, and draw far enough
back from the grind to look ahead and

then if you cannot devise means of
