It’s born in a far-off forest to the ringing cry of
“Timber!”’ And before it dies, it demonstrates its
usefulness to the tune of a singing cash register. A
newspaper ad is more than cold type. More even
than cold type carrying a hot message.
To Business men
® To the businessman, a newspaper ad is the
adrenalin that makes a tired sales curve spring to
life and shakes a sleepy economy awake.
® A newspaper ad is a strident cry of a discount
store hawking its wares or it is the soft whisper of
a blue chip’s institutional message.
® A newspaper ad is a shout of hope: ‘‘Grand
Opening on Friday!”’ or the end of a dream: *‘Go-
ing Out of Business Sale.’’
® A newspaper ad is 10 thousand people at a
dollar-day sale or it is one person spending 10
thousand dollars for a diamond bracelet.
® A newspaper ad is a friendly ‘‘hello’’ from the
big band downtown that says stop by any time, or
a sharp reminder from the manufacturer he has a
great new product you need right now.
® A newspaper ad is a colossal 16-page introduc-
tion to a one-hundred-million-dollar new car
model, or it’s a tiny two lines with news of a
10-year-old jalopy selling for $95.
® A newspaper ad is a new product challenging
old — and both being better for it.
and much, much more is what a
newspaper ad is to business, But what is it to those
who buy and read the newspaper?
To the Reader
® A newspaper ad is the sale that brings the
housewife’s budget in just under the wire.
® A newspaper ad is that certain something
special worth splurging on.
®A newspaper ad is the warm security of
discovering that dream home for your family or
it’s the bold challenge of a new job in a far off
place.
® A newspaper ad is down-to-earth product ad-
vice a mother can appreciate or it’s a flight of fan-
cy only a woman can understand.
® A newspaper ad is a pleasant escape to a vaca-
tion wonderland, or it is a practical hint to better
meals in the hustle and bustle of everyday living.
® A newspaper ad is a mother finding that beauty
treatment she always wanted, or it’s dad selling
those power tools he never used.
® A newspaper ad is shopping in the comfort of
our breakfast room, or braving the weather
because that sale is too good to miss.
But a newspaper ad is more than that. It’s faith,
believability, knowledge from experience that the
product is here in town today and wanting to do
business. It is a call to action backed by a friend
you can trust.
To Salesmen
®To me, a salesman, a newspaper ad is six
months of frustrating calls and ‘‘not now, maybe
later’ answers, until finally — success, you have
the order in the house!
ing a small company to challenge a giant, or the
fast-paced excitement of helping pioneer a new
product to the top of the market.
® A newspaper ad is lying awake at night hunting
for the ideas that will light a fire under a tough
prospect.
To Newspapermen
And us. What is a newspaper ad to you and to
me? Well, if reporting news is the heart of the
newspaper, then the newspaper ad is the vital
force, the energy, that vigor and vitality. A
newspaper ad pays for the pulp. And powers the
presses. And meets the payroll. And puts the
paper on the street and in the home. And ignites
the buying interest. And starts the money moving.
And well, a newspaper ad is a most important in-
fluential and wonderful thing.
