Overseas Mail Lag Explained Atlanta, Ga. Jan, 17.—Army pos tal service wishes to clear up some at the misunderstanding of the public relative to overseas mail delivery, according to Col. Hart ley B. Dean, Fourth Service Com mand postal officer. “It appears, said Col. Dean, “that one of the complaints of The public is that mail service from overseas is bet ter than the service going over seas. The reason for this is that mail going to the United States is bound for a definite, fixed ad dress while overseas communica tions are often delayed due to the necessity of directory service and forwarding to find organizations and individuals in a constantly changing scene. " _. i “Another thing which seems to puzzle* the public is the fact, that overseas letters are received in bunches. This is due to transpor tation facilities—if a convoy sails only every two weeks, naturally the mail will pile up and be re ceived in one batch. This includes air mail. Both air and ordinary mail accumulate waiting for car go space and as the space is avail able, the oldest mail is shipped out first. Of course, if plane space becomes available after the let ters (both ordinary and air mail) have gone by boat, the most re cent letters arrive first and the sequence of the letters is broken.” JUDGE WINSTON HAD ESTATE OF $159,734 The estate of Judge Robert W. Winston of Chapel Hill, who died last October 14, lists real and per sonal property amounting to $159, 734.65, an inventory filed in Dur ham revealed last week.

By Professor And His Glass THE FIRST THING THAT EVERY copy writer must remember is that his copy must be effective—not affected. The copy is included in an advertisement to sell a product; the ad is to make an impression * on the reader rather than express meaningless words and adjectives. -First and last, the impression of the reader must be, “That must be a good article” rather than “Hm, darn good ad.” ' ' CLEARNESS 18 THE MOST IM portant'essential. Correctness, like wise is anecessity. Nothing is more irritating to a reader than incor rectness in grammar, word-use, punctuation. To conserve the time ' j of the reader, the copy should be T concise. Conciseness does not mean saying little—but saying much in a few words. _ : - 7 - i ; // SINCE ALL ADS MUST HAVE appeal, it is necessary to know that all ads may be divided into two chief types—ones with an in tellectual appeal and ones with an emotional appeal. The reader may be inspired to action by a con sciously deliberated^decision or by an instinct or emotion. For in stance, if you are selling war bonds and you say, "It’s the best invest ment you can make. For every six bits you put in, you take out one buck,”—that’s reason why copy. But if you say, “Buy war bonds -— and stamps, and KEEP ’EM FLY ING!”—that’s human interest copy. I " *' * OFTEN A PAINSTAKING IN vestigation is necessary before the advertiser can be sure what mo * tives have .already inspired con sumers to buy his article and what motives will influence new pros- § pects to buy it. Even when the motives have been found, it is not always certain they can be used effectively in advertising copy. The primary u$g of soap is keeping clean but the most effective soap advertising emphasizes beauty and keeping that schoolgirl complex ion” rather than, crudely, keeping the dirt off. Likewise, brewers usually advertise their product as being delicious and full of nutri tional value rather than as having — a terrific kick. No consumer is go * to b,iy a bottle of spirits for its nutritional value. But the true * motive ^is best kept under cdver in that particular field of adver tising. IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT in some lines of advertising the true motive does not make good advertising, the copy writer should know his product backward and forward. He should know the ma tenSBriSTprocess of manufacture, the personnel responsible for its design and construction, its per formance in the hands of users. THE COPY-WRITER WILL Usu ally be able to pick out some big theme for the campaign. It‘ may be characteristic of the product or there are any number of variations of theme. Slogans are popular. Namely, “Ask the man who owns one,” or “It’s toasted.” The theme must dominate the copy, and, if it is wisely selected, it has the power to stimulate interest. THE COPY WRITER MAY U8E - four different stages in his cam paign. The pioneering copy introduces a new product. It is to a large extent educational, and it paves the way for . . . Competitive advertising. In this - phase, the superiority of the prod uct must be emphasized. Competi ' five advertising should stress the individuality and special features r'.j;. of the product. Always, jit should be honest and give the consumer a sporting chance to discriminate between the same products of dif ferent brands. Institutional advertising is a means of establishing good will * between the institution and the consumer. No attempt is made to show the consvjmer his need or the merits of any particular brand. Nevertheless, they may give him serviceable as well as interesting information — concterning almost anything. Reminder copy takes for granted that a .large part of the work of selling has already been done. The function of the particular type of advertisement is to refresh the reader’s memory of the advertised brand and perhaps reenforce his impression of its good qualities. The first two classifications are called action copy and the last two, good-will copy. —MATT McDADE i o reach the buying homes of all of Oran# County use ideas, layouts, suggested copyl for ygur ad in THE NE1
