Robinson CrusOe Got Result.

One of the most persistent ac-
vertizers in the history of success
was Robinson Crusoe. He knew
what he wanted-a ship so he
put up an ad for one. He flung
a shirt on a pole at the top of his
island that, in the language of the
sea, was plain to every seataring
man. The circulation was small
there was no other medium-but
Crusoe kept at it despite the fact
that he got no inquiries for long
time. He changed his copy as
one garment after another was
frayed out-and in the end got
what he wanted. Suppose Crusoe
had taken down that signal after
a time and declared Advertising
does not pay, where would be
and his story be now?
