" WMll Strategy In Advertising The Climax of Salesmanship-in-Print TTm battle 4rf adyertlaing ar not won today bj nun with tha largest forces. Three times tn five they sire won by men who start with but limited re sources. Five times in five, when rightly directed, they are won without any larga risk. In a good many cases there is no stake at all. There is no Ions; waiting no serious uncertainty no drawn-out period when expense overtops result. One gets his answer immediately. Most successful advertising pays divi dends from' the start. Impossible things are not started at all. And a pretty large part of modern-day advertising finances itself. The well-advised acrrertiser of 1911 ventures nothing on guesswork and theory. Selling methods today are based on ethers' experiences, garnered by a won derful system. Problems are solved by learning how others have solved them. Pitfalls are voided by knowing others' mistakes. Each new undertaking la piloted now by a myriad recorded experiences. As a result, men are sure of their ground. Errors rarely occur. One takes the short way to his object. and a in two Midgets Nation - wide distribution profitable sale are attained months, sometimes, k Weeks do the work of years. grow to monsters with amazing rapid ity. Trade conditions are changed oaernight. Formidable competition, long in trenched, has been almost wiped out by a single maneuver. All because of a new-bom science, called Strategy in Advertising. How all this is accomplished is told in a book a remarkable book which gives a new aspect to advertising. This book, for the first time, puts into print the secrets of our success. To show how things can be done it cites countless examples of how things have been done. Any man with a selling problem Is welcome to this book. And every such man should have it. Cut out this reminder; put it in your pocket. Then, when convenient, write us for the book. An advertising campaign of the mod em kind is based on exact Information.
