When You Become a
“Conscious” Reader
| of Advertising
By ,T. B. HAMILTON
Former Advertising Manager of Wsjnannaker’g, Philadelphia
j When you learn to read your advertising as you read your
dews, the cost of everything you wear or use is going to be lowered
for you.
If you knew how much mitwy it. takes to soak an idea into
your mind subconsciously you Mould be ashamed of your mind,
jit actually takes as long as two years sometimes to get you to
jthink and say a certain word.
It’s like teaching a baby to taf ". *
Every known trick of psychology is brought to bear on you.
.Advertisers have even been known to print their advertisement
upside down, hoping, perhaps, if you had to stand on your
|head to read it you might renumber what they say.
And what you so often reuj.se to receive with your will the
jeamera of your eye records in s|ite of you. Ho that of what
jyou buy you buy through advert Ling whether you know it or not.
And yet, in the face of all this, the advertising method of
jselling things is twenty 'times.'cheaper than any other method
known. * , v, ,
Think how much cheaper stjjl] it would be if you would only
(read your advertising consciously instead of buying through it
In spite of yourself. '
The merchant who doesn’t advertise hasn't even a chance
with the one who does.
Your eye is taking photographs every time you turn these
pages. You couldn’t get away.jrom these advertisements if you
tried. Even the man who claims not to see them at all is record
ing them all the time. Every merchant who appears here is
telling you his story every day whether you know it or not.
All we are trying to do is lo make you conscious readers of
advertising instead of subcon sc ous readers. This is being done
equally for your benefit and for our*.
Everyitime you lookjCor ]jiovrtjsing in this paper instead
making it look*for you you bTing down your costof living, you
increase the buying power of your money and you get a better
duality for the price. This is true because the men who advertise
fire always the best merchants. They are the ones who last. The
others flicker up for a little while and then go out. That’s the
proof.
On the other hand, every time we get a hundred more of.
fur readers to turn each day with a conscious mind to the adver
ising news as well as to the general news, we make this a better
fnedium for our advertisers. We give them more for their money
because we give them your will.
1 And before we are through every subscriber we have will bo
reading his advertising consciously day by day —never fear. For
(this is another psychological law.
