a NEW SLANT ON ADVERTISING

A NEW SLANT ON ADVERTISING.
Advertising is an old and honor
able profession. Rameses III. was
one of the most successful advertis-
ers. We are told that after he came
to the throne, he went around and
chiselled off the names of all his
predecessors from the tombs and
public monuments OF Egypt and
put his own name there.
Rameses III was also the most
famous father of his time. He had
something like $50 odd children
quite odd. The man who named
them. later got job naming the
Pullman cars Of his day.
Today everyone is an advertiser,
and in nearly every place you look
there is an advertisement. We used
TO so travelling to see the scenery,
but now you can't see the scenery
for the advertising. All the land
scape is dotted with bill boards tell
ing you what kind of carriers you
ought 10 wear; what kind OF butter
you should put on your bread and
that the WHATS -ITS-NAAIE Hotel
has rooms for $3.50 up. OF course,
you recognize the What's-its-name
Hotel Immediately when you get thee
because they are always out of the
$3.50 rooms, but they can show you
a lot of the up" ones.
Smart as advertisers are, how
ever, they are overlooking few
bets. 1t seems TO me there are a
great many places that could be
made TO pay advertising revenue all
of which are now going TO waste.
There are the tops OF automobiles,
for instance. Someone should get
the concession for the tops on all the
taxicabs in the large cities. and then
resell this space to advertisers.
Space on top Of private cars could
be bought and sold, the value OF the
space depending on whether the
owner drove downtown every day, or
under what office window he park
ed. Space might also be sold on the
hood and on the back Of the cars.
There Is a lot of white space go

Nor spoke to cause another pain,
And yet to what of good he knew
