When the "copy" was submitted it appeared to be a series of paintings of prominent club houses with a sentence informing the public that Blank's cigarettes were smoked at the Blink's Club, price "two bits. The irate agency chief tore his hair and de manded to be shown a single reason adduced why any one should smoke Blank's. "Quite true," was the soft answer, "but what reason is there for any one to smoke any cigarettes?" So also, what gum we are so reason for ginger ale, cigars, neckties, jewelry or a multitude of things unreasonably but so convincingly taught by advertising to want. The simple, direct command unsupported by reason or argument is frequently the most effec tive advertising method.
