mivtakes in their time They seem
to have been pasticularly carelese
about the business detalls of some
of their best inventions, and in this
way they have lost a lot of prestige.
For example, think how much
they would have gained by hoMing

of tnventing the stuff, and then, in
stead of putting #on the market
undsr & trade name and getting
rich off #t, they worked some of 1t
up into firecrackers and let the rest
of the warld grab the idea.
Of ecourse, the fivecrackers were a
wovael idea, and we've got to give
the Chinese credit for them. Bat

If a merchant or manufacturer could gather 5,000 or
10,000 or 100,000 prospective buyers into a large andito
rium and talk to them daily—by word of mouth—he
would have no need of advertisements. BUT HE CAN
NOT. '
So he puts his words in type and talks to these same
prospective buyers each day in the printed messages
that you know as advertisements.
In this newspaper today you will find many such per

Some are large and some are small. They cover a wide
