Be Something ! ' ' A SK ILLED layer of mosaic works with small fragments of stone—they lit into more places than the larger chunks. The skilled advertiser works with small words—they fit into more minds than big phrases. The simpler the language the greater certainty that it will be understood by the least mtelligent reader. The construction engineer plans his roadbed where there is a minimum of grade—he works along the lines of least resistanetk The advertisement which runs into mountainous style is badly surveyed—all minds are not built for high grade thinking. Advertising must be simple. W hen it is tricked out with the jewelry and silks of literary expression, it looks as much out of place as a ball dress at the breakfast table! The buying public is only interested in facts. People read ad vertisements to find out w h at you have to sell. The advertiser who can fire the most facts in the shortest time gets the most returns. Blank cartridges make noise but they do not hit—blank talk, however clever, is only wasted space. You force your salesmen to keep to solid facts—^you don’t allow them to sell muslin with quotations from Omar or trousers with excerpts from Marie Corelli. You must not tolerate in your printed selling talk anything that you are not willing to countenance in personal salesmanship. Cut out clever phrases if they are inserted to the sacrifice of clear explanations—^write copy as you talk. Only be more brief. Publicity is costlier than conversation—-ranging in price downward from $10 a line; talk is not cheap, but the most expensive commodity in the world. Sketch in your ad to the stenographer. Then you will be sc busy “saying it” that you will not have time to bother about the gewgaws of writing. Afterwards take the typewriten manuscript and cut out every word and every line that can be erased without omitting an important detail. W h at remains in the end is all th^t really counted in the beginning. Cultivate brevity and simplicity. “Savon Fran 9 ais” may look smarten, but more people will understand “French Soap.” Sir Isaac Newton’s explanation of gravitation covers six pages but the school boy’s terse and homely “W h at goes up must come down” clinches the whole thing in six words. Indefinite talk wastes space. It is not 100% productive. The copy that omits prices sacrifices half its pulling power—it has a tendency to bring lookers instead of buyers. It often creates false impressions. Some people are bound to conceive the idea that the goods are higher priced than in reality—others, by the same token, are just as likely to infer that the prices are lower and go away think ing that you have exaggerated your statements. The reader must be searched out by the copy. Big space is cheapest because it doesn’t waste a single eye. Publicity must be on the offensive. There are far too many advertisers who keep their lights on top of their bushel—the average citizen hasn’t time tc overturn your bushel. Small space is expensive. Like a one-flake snowstorm, there is not enough of it to lay. Space is a comparative m atter after all. It is not a case of how much is used but how it is used. The passengers on the limited ex press may realize that Jones has tacked a twelve-inch shingle on every post and fence for a stretch of five miles, but they are going too fast to make out what the shingles say, yet the tw©-feet letters of Brown’s big bulletin board on top of the hill leap at them before they have a chance to dodge it. And at that it doesn’t cost nearly so much as the sum total of Jones’ dinky display. Just so advertisements attractively displayed every day or every week for a year in one newspaper will find the eye of all readers, no m atter how rapidly they may be “going” through the advertising pages, and produce more results than a dozen piking pieces of copy scattered through half a dozen papers.
