THE GREAT COPYWRITER

No greater copywriter ever lived
than the man whose birthday ami
versary America celebrates today.
No series of thirteen full-pages was
his; no faring 24-sheet poster head
line came from his pen; no letters
that brought in 100000 worth of or
ders in the first return mail are check
ed to his credit.
Yet Abraham Lincoln, in his state
papers, in his addresses, in his let
tiers, displays the fundamental chara-
cteristics of sound copy-writing, which
we propose to take a few minutes now
to analyze.
He achieved a reputation for hon
esty and truthfulness which, with no
cherry-tree tale to bolster it, has
come down even to us of this day in
the familiar nickname Honest Abe"
No advertising campaign has ever
been successful over a long period
which ignored the necessity for basic
truth in copy.
The man who rose from baclwoods
boy to head of the American people
and guided them through the most
trying hour Of their history found the
steps on the upward climb painful
and difficult; his success from the be-
ginning came only with toiling in
dustry. The picture of the boy
sprawled before the log fire, studying
from figures rudely marked on a
board, is familiar to all; Lincoln
symbolizes this necessary character
istic of the man who you'd write
sound copy.
Simplicity is perhaps the outstand-
ing characteristic of all the published
writings and addresses of Abraham
Lincoln, Hyperbole, tricks of express
sion, catch phrases he scorned for the
straightforward method of approach
so beautifully and effectively used in
his Gettysburg address. There has
never been man whose copy" said
so much in so little, whose words
more appealingly pictured his thought
to his readers, who stands so nearly
ideal in this respect.
Finally, Lincoln talked to the peo-
pie. Whether he told humorous an
ecdote to make his point (Which he
was not above doing), whether he
played on the heart-strings of human
emotions, whether he appealed to
their pride or their pockets, his words
went right down inside and burrow-
ed place. His humanity was always
in evidence.
Advertising copywriters especially
may we'll pay homage to the memory
of Abraham Lincoln at any time, and
strive toward the four-fold perfection
of his writing: honesty, industry, SIM
plicity, Misunderstanding Club

and also established new records
that are expected to Withstand at

The new records in every case
were from 3 to 20 seconds lower
than previous ones (which by the
way, were held by Jewett Sixes).
Tho entire power plant in the
Jewett Special was the same which

management believed that closed
ears could be built with a single com
partment. and that the owner would
be glad to drive it himself. That be-
lief was the basis for the Hudson Sc
dan. 1t had a lot of opposition at
first and 1t was n considerable period
before sedans became general.
"Hudson's second great success in
bodies was the four-passenger sports
type OF touring. The first Of these

scores OF similar models.
But the greatest of dn was the
development OF the coach. behind
this was a truly fundamental Idea

open car price. To develop that idea,
Hudson had TO overturn the indus
try's whole habits of closed a on

first time all the economies known
to simplified manufacture.
For three years. Hudson-Essex

closed cars at open car prices-and
now the industry has stampeded TO
coaches. But for a long time to come

think of Hudson-Essex."

In developing the coach type of
body and seeing 1t through to gem
eral adoption by the industry. the
Hudson Motor Car company has
scored the third similar success OF
its history. according to r. n. Van
SAINT. local Hudson-Essex dealer.
Mr.. Van SAINT declared that Hud.
son had built and named the first Sc
dan the motor world ever knew. the
first ~speedster type OF touring car.
and now the greatest success of all,
the coach. Hudson built the first
coach in November, 1921.

dams on the streets today" said Mr..
Van SAINT. It is difficult TO believe
that the first one ever built was con
structed 70 years ago by the Hudson
Motor Car company. Then as now.

interested in enclosed cars at a mod

HUPMOb|LE IS
CAR SENSATION
Many Motorists Find
Favonte in New

Even more enthusiastic approval
Of the Hupmobile Eight continues
to reach the Hupp factories In De
troit as more and more cars become
scattered over the country. Interest
in the car has grown to national pro-
portions now that Its output has per-
mitted its display and demonstration
practically everywhere.
-Four hundred thousand persons
came in Hupmobile salesrooms
throughout the country for the cars
first presentation. This Is believed
by Hupp executives TO be the great
est public interest ever manifested
in a new motor car. More than a
million persons are now estimated
to have inspected it.
From observations by factory Off.
cials and reports reaching them. the
new eight has been a sensation in
every part OF the country. The COM
pany's own reputation as q motor
car producer. the cars freedom from
toughness at all speed ranges its
flashing acceleration. simplicity Of
design and unusual ease OF handling.
both in heavy traffic and at high
speeds on main highways, have &C.
casioned wide comment. These re-
suits, it is pointed out by Drank Z.
Watts, chief engineer. are due TO the
score or more OF fundamental and
revolutionary features built into the
car. Because OF these advantages OF
performance. coupled with its great
psrkability and natural balance.
Hlpp officials expect that the eight
within the next two months. will
have established itself as n OF the

ciety to rid itself of an incubus that
had become too arrogant to be toll
cradle The cry for relief, seized by
the fanatic theorists and famed to a
hysteria, was construed as an ac-
ceptance of prohibition. and before
the reaction of calm judgment could
intervene, our country was commit
ted to a legislative act placed in our
Constitution.
I'VE hear great deal about law

don't cook parsnips. but, consulting with
the editress of neighbor paper, who is
from Minnesota, where parsnips are one
of the staples of life. we learn that this
vegetable is one of the oldest known to
human cookery, and. besides, is much
more nutritive than the well-known car
rot, turnip or other sheep-food. The
ancient Romans respected the parsnip

Minnesota expert referred TO advises;
Prepare the parsnips by parboiling,
rubbing off the skin and slicing into
small pieces. Peel and dice six medium
sized potatoes and two large onions: mix
the vegetables add fat, and cover with
boiling water. Cook until vegetables are
tender"
Then, altho the advice doesn't so speci-
