Don't be too distinctly original in your advertising. Don't try to startle people
with your wit.
The successful new idea is the one that everybody has unconsciously recog
nl zed for a long time. Don't get beyond the age.
———^ l don't believe in cute advertising. It may
0 pay in the show business. I've heard that it
iS. S The other day I asked a theatrical mana-
ager whether he had ever tried newspaper
0 advertising alone and unaided by posters.
/ k 0 He said ho had. Said he had tried posters
I A . © alone, too, and that a combination was better,
j 3j| but he said: "Novelties and startling effects
fijoKSN! sjj That is for theatricals.
Hi if I Business methods and show methods must
RSjStf \ij ©i necess ' t y differ. A show stays a day, or
j!! Weelt * come again.
"Nmnltms and startling rfficti an hit and the : \ C

curiosity is aroused the better. It isn't that II z' \ ——
way in a mercantile business. That ,
stays. The longer It stays in one spot (T .. :-• jfr]\ nut
the better—if it is properly conducted.
Show methods of advertising will
beget suspicion. Can't have "startling x
reductions" and "bankrupt sales" every u
day. That doesn't mean never have a
"sale." Have plenty of them, but find ,• ilf
a good honest reason for each one and ,\l I'flf ..
"fight it out on that line." Remember cU.B
the boy who cried "Wolf!" and don't iiH| '
»ay anything startling unless it can be
backed up with the facts. If you cry
•' Wolf I" let folks hear him howl. „. . . '
