Advertising is called by
some an art.
If it be an art it is the art
of telling a story simply and
convincingly.
Nobody knows more
about the strong qualities
of an establishment thaw
the proprietor who oversees
it. Other things being
equal, nobody should be
able to write more convinc
ingly of the articles he of

The reason is simple. He
knows me goods from A to
L. He probably has pur
chased them. He knows
his aims. His arguments
can? weight because they
are ccoviacxg.
The same arguments pre

with the oaroe enthusiastic
spirit, the same knowledge
of deaii, would attract
new customers if presented
through the advertising col
