THEY ALL ADVERTISED

Occasionally man is found who thinks that he
can build up big commercial success WITHOUT AID
VERfISING But usually he wakes up, sooner or
later to the fact that it just can't be done There is
nothing more certain in the business world than that
iudcious publicity is essential to success.
This has been so clearly demonstrated time and
time again that it is hardly necessary to refer to the
subject The world war is striking illustration of
the value of publicity. Does any man believe the
GREAT Liberty Loan drives would have been successful
had it not been for the advertising carried in the
DAILY NEWSPAPERS. No man will contradict the
assertion that advertising was the big factor in sell
ING liberty bonds and in fact contributed more to the
success of the war than any other one thing.

lowing in a recent issue of Printers Ink:
