Cly dadAe Once upon a time there was a young newspaper advertising salesman Who called upon the operator of a small hotel in his town. He suggested the hotel man begin a schedule of display ads to increase the use of his hotel for guests of local people who did not have overnight accommo- dation for out-of-town guests. The hotel"'man agreed there was merit in the suggestion but he felt that he could not afford large enough ads to do the job. He told the young salesman that "nobody reads small ads". Not to be'discouraged the space salesman said, "Mr. Jones, I know people do read small ads. In fact, I'm so convinced they,do that I am going to run a series of small ads for you absolutely free." This perked up the ears of the reluctant innkeeper who was still smiling when the ad man said, "But I want to write the copy myself." This didri't seem too unreasonable so Mr. Jones responded, "OK, but what ore you going to say in my ads?" "Nine words, Mr. Jones is all I want in your ad. It will simply read 'The Jones Hotel has the biggest bedbugs in town'." . To which the now nearly apoplectic innkeeper cried, "You'll drive me out of business," and received the quick rejoinder, "Mr. Jones, you said no one reads small ads. r, The Jones Hotel Has The BIGGEST BEDBUGS In Town The Wingham Advance -Times, Thurs., February 19, 1976r -Page 13 childr .. ... .. ..... .. onstlpated Chew Peen -A -M int.
