Passing of the 'Gyp' In
Advertising

Legitimate advertising pays.
That l.. legitimate advertising pays when the arti-
Gle in question has well defined merits meeting a
particular need. at a cost in line with the relative
Importance OF the article advertised.
Those facts are TOO well known, too we'll agreed
upon. to need further elaboration.
There are many methods OF legitimate advertising,
there are many more methods OF ilegitimate or "Gyp
advertising" and the Valley has long been subject
to exploitation OF those who peddle the latter kind.
It is a tribute to the perspicacity Of Valley bust
ness men and Of Valley communities that the verdor
Of the ~eyp" brand Of advertising Is year by year
finding this section a less and less productive field
of endeavor.
Time was when the shrewd seller Of non-productive
advertising could come into almost any Valley city
and make his cleanup and depart. having cleared a
nice sum and leaving local merchants holding the bag
with q set OF placards or envelopes or what not, sold
al out Of proportion to the cost OF production and
still more out OF proportion to the benefits derived
First OF valley cities to invoke legitimate advertis-
inc in an effort to swell its tourist population during
the summer months, Brownsville is reaping and will
continue to reap the benefits Of having placed before
the reading public the advantage Of this section.
Certainly there can be no argument but that the
Valley has a something OF merit to sell In its climate
winter or summer. It's proximity to Old Mexico and
its beaches, golf courses and other tourist delights.
Certainly the way to put these advantages before
the public is by way of newspaper advertising, rather
than signs on the back Of an automobile.
When the Valley as a whole. takes itself seriously in
this matter of heralding to the world our summer and
winter climate, and approaches the outside world in
a dignified manner befitting the importance Of the
subject. further results are bound to accrue.
