ting attention is the first rule of
advertising, because without the read-
er's attention, the best bargains in town
will go unnoticed.
The second rule is to use sustained,
repeated advertising. The buying public
is being bombarded today as never
before with advertising and promotional
materials. The business who can offer a
simplified but saturated message is
most likely to be the one who is
remembered when it's time to buy.
