THE MEDIUM and THE MOMENT

THE

secret of successful advertising lies in the ability of the advertiser to place his message before prospective customers at the right moment...and yet there are" business men who have not yet appreciated the wisdom of ensuring that their message will be available at the right moment.

1

In order to determine which is the right moment, it is necessary to discover which medium is likely to be perused at the reader's. leisure............ because the leisure moment.is. obviously the moment when an attractive advertisement will be read.

It is unnecessary to pursue this line of thought stage by stage, but every business men should ask himself which advertising medinm it is he sees going to the homes every afternoon? That is the medium which is read by every adult member of the family in bis or her leisure moment,

and every member is a potential customer...

And that is why newspaper publicity has no rival in advertising effectiveness.

Think of your business during 1027! Have you decided to assist its growth by taking advantage of modern newspaper advertising? If so, our advertising Depart- ment will be pleased to submit illustrated advertising suggestions for your particular. need.
