...The One Right Way...
Advertising may be good and yot not be
successful, because It Is not persistent.
That clever |onmal “Brains" puts It thus:
“There Is bat ooO right way to advertise
and that is to hammer your name, your
occupation, your business so thoroughly In
the heads of the people that If they walk
In their sleep they will turn their steps
toward your store. The newspaper Is
your friend. It helps to build np the com*
inanity that supports you.
