In spite of all of drawbacks advertising is many times

And the principal drawback of advertising nonreadne

have not acquired the habit of consciously reading
1t costs that much put idea your
scousy than would you received that idea consciously
willingly.
Now why you your share toward lowering the cost
of marketing merchandise

volume and the distribution than make for the advertising
c0St f0u can't send salesman around from door to door
cheapy as you can newspaper.
But the pity of it is that advertisers got get
their ideas into your mind when looking The greater
part of advertising impression subconscous impression
eye registers the thought against your will
you would only learn read consciously eagerly
what an automobile manufacturer clothing merchant
shoe store has about its product would
cost of each article mmeasurably.
After you have read what say his product
whether he be retailer manufacturer you
the goods themselves up against his claims for Them
short time you know where to get the best of everything
1t is all simple 1t is such moneysaver it is such al
tmesave And since every good thing you buy, you
through advertising whether you know not why lock-
for the advertising instead making constantly you
If you will do this the whole problem will be simpfed
immediately The advertiser will spend sixty per oil
his money trying to get attention He will already have it'll
will be able attention selng
talk When this DONE the selling cost of everything will agan
be lowered and you the buying public will be the gain

Advertising it u.s. is somuchcheaper method of sacsj
