WASTING GOOD MONEY
It’s pretty hard to convince a VASS
merchant that he had better drop
his money down in the well than pass
it over to a fly-by-night advertising
solicitor, the smooth guy who drops in
with a publicity scheme that isn’t
worth a minute of time or a cent of
money. It takes some people a good
while to learn that the same money
spent in a newspaper would bring
infinitely better returns.
This country is filled to the brim
with smooth young men who do noth
ing but think up publicity schemes.
Once they have framed a catchy one
they beat it to the smaller towns to
“unload” on the merchant who believes
that any kind of advertising is good
advertising, and who thinks that nov
elties and time cards and stock book
lets with his name upon them are act
ually business getters. These young
men don’t play their trade so much
in the large cities, because there is
usually a Commercial Club or a
Broad of Trade ruling against just
the sort of thing they seek to dispose
of. But in towns where every mer
chant has to think out his own plan
of advertising, and where he hasn’t
tried to understand the inside work
ings of these fly-by-night schemes,
the waste of good money goes right
on. And the funniest part of it is that
the merchant who bites usually pays
cash in advance and takes the smooth
young stranger’s word for it that he
is going to get more than his money’s
worth.
We are strong for every kind of
advertising that will pay the man
who advertises. But we detest fakes.
That’s why we spend a good deal of
time regretting that some merchants
can’t see that which successful mer
chants long ago learned—^that of all
forms of advertising known to man-—
nothing has yet been found as good
as space in the home paper.
And yet a lot of people who long
for the good old days would hate to
have to hitch up just to ride around
the corner.
Another reason why every Ameri
can boy should take lessons in box
ing is he might some day want to be
a congressman.
