G. White & Com pany, the great investment bankers and engi neers, appears a statement worth reconsideration at this time. "The unsophisticated investor buys popular investments at the time of their greatest popularity and highest price. It remains for the sophisticated to buy unpopular investments at the time of their greatest unpopularity." As in other investments, the unsophisticated advertiser spends most when the market place is crowded. The sophisticated advertiser spends most when competition for a hearing is at its lowest and when, by the same token, the buyer is most critically attentive. The sophisticated advertiser has an attractive opportunity for investment in national advertis ing this year. idt'crfim'tip apace in the liuttcrick Publications us for nc through accredited advertiiing agencies.
