Prices right Is Advertising Expensive? Advertising that is regarded by the advertiser as an expense is just that There is something wrong with it Nine times out of ten the copy has a charley horse. It's so weak it couldn't move itself let alone move others And whose fault is that? Ad vertisings? Not on your life. It's the fault of the man who is paying for the advertising. Go to his store, and the chances are that you will find it slowly expir ing from dry rot. The goods will be dirty and unkept. The shelves will be dusty and neglect ed. Even the boss will have a grouch, and the grouch never at tracts buyers. Life is too short to waste with the wooden faces. It isn't the advertising that's ex pensive, its the lack of push that's behind the failures. A. L.
