Such a man usually hopes to serure one customer for one sale when he succecds, the story is finished. But if he is in the shredded coconut business, he wishes to secure not only the sale of a shipload of nuts, but he aims at a more permanent market. He not only wants the sale, he wants a following among thousands of consumers to whom he hopes to sell future shiploads of coconuts time and time again. Advertising to secure customers is something more than advertising to selL goods. Advertising space in the Dutterick publications is for sale by accredited advertising agencies.
