Natural Selection
The publisher of a dog paper exerts every effort
to make his publication of interest to dog fanciers.
A pharmaceutical journal works for years to earn
a great following among druggists. There are spe
cial periodicals, for threshermen. for undertakers
and for theatrical folk.
There arc "slick paper" magazines for the so
cially elect and "news print" papers for the farmers.
In every trade, profession, cult or social stratum,
there are periodicals seeking to attract unto them
selves a following of readers.
The process eventually becomes one of natural
selection.
"Birds of a feather flock together."
If you want to sell sulphuric acid, advertise in a
publication bought by fertilizer manufacturers. If
you want to sell sheets or soap,- food or children's
books, to reach the housewife, advertise in a wom
an's magazine.
Advertising should parallel natural selection.
Advertising apace tit the Buttenck publication
is for sale through accredited advertising agencif.
