Righto. How some people do
hate publicity! They have such an
intense dislike for it that if the pap
ers do not send reporters to inter
view them, they interview them
selves and send said interviews to
the press, writes Fred E. Hadley.
Practically every man ever born
likes 20 see his same in print-and
the same goes for the ladies. too.
Most of the concerns that have
made the biggest successes have
realized the value of printers ink,
anu have used it literally. If we
we've running a store or a business
of any kind, newspaper publishers
would have to use gum in order to
keep US from breaking into print.
When concern drops from the pub
lie eye it also drops from the pub
lie interest, and is on the high road
to failure.
