In a popular play of a few years ago "It Pays
to Advertise," the youthful and exuberant hero
marketed, a soap "13r-unlucky for dirt," with
overwhelming success.
The soap cost 3 cents, and after the second
act, sold for $1.00 in tremendous quantities.
This dramatic profit came, of course, from a
whirlwind campaign of publicity, and so the
thesis, that it pays to advertise was proved and
everybody lived happily forever after.
People like to dream of striking the popular
chord one terrific wallop and cashing in millions,
but it isn't being done.
The public is lethargic, stupid, forgetful, and
advertising success must be planned in terms of
years of time and the continued, persistent, never
ending application of power.

to THE REPUBLICAN WOMEN
x VOTERS OF PENNSYLVANIA
Do not be misled by specious arguments to induce you to
split your ticket this falb Every subterfuge is being used and
will be used to persuade you that you should show your inde
pendence by splitting your ticket and voting for certain Demo
cratic candidates.
Do not be deceived. A split ticket always helps the minority
party, which is the Democratic party. You will not find a
Democrat urging Democratic women to be non-partisan. These
f arguments are always reserved by them for Republican women

10 miaieau uiuiu. inuiu is uu auuu u uuiig us a uun-pui tiauu
this fall. You are either for or against the Republican party
and Republican principles.
You are either for Harding or you are against him, and
if you are for him you can't afford to tie his hands by giving
him a Democratic Congress. A vote for a Democrat is a vote
against the great principles for which the Republicans are
fighting this fall. .
The Republicans stand for a free America, free from
European entanglements,' free from being required to send
their sons across the water to take part in wars in foreign
countries.
They stand for a manly, independent America in its for
eign policy and for the protection of American homes, American
ideals and American business in its home policy.
When you hear one talking about being non-partisan, set
him or her down as being a Democrat and be on your guard.

Chairman Republican Women's Committee of Pennsylvania.
