REPETITII N UNDOUBTEDLY, one of the fundamental and very real functions, of advertising is continually and everlastingly pounding home the facts and features and facilities of the advertised products and • services. The reasons, of course,—if, indeed, there be need for the mention of reasons,— is not the too often attributed fickleness of the buying public, but rather that other things in numberless quant- ities lay claim to the buying power of the public and that it takes more than single and casual mention of articles to make impressions; and that each day brings to the market new members of the buying public. Fundamental and basic as such a statement is, it is well for all of us who are concerned with distributing things Which have been made, to the places and peoples where they are used, to repeat it frequently to ounsclves. For 'there has been too much advertising waste resulting from the very lack of—repetiition. Tog many beginnings of advertising programs, based on well -laid plans, which have for varied reasons not gone beyond the beginning stage. And thereby they have made a squandering of the cost of that beginning, 'But what is more serious, they have failed of fruition for lack of continuity, which is, broadly, another way of saying REPETITION.
