There are other reasons. There is as much difference between the advertisements of Bilken’s suspenders and the story of Editha’s Predicament as there is between a man yelling to you over the back. fence that your barn is on fire and Grandpa Bates | telling you how he lost his leg in 1864, |" The advertisement writer knows that the | first thing he has to do is to attract your attention. Few authors or sp that. They just drone along and think you've got to listen. So their minds are on their art, on their words and style, and not on what they have to say, and on the importance of saying it quick. The ad man is not afraid of emphasis. He uses big type and pictures and short, | sharp, startling worgs. Here, for instance, is a motor advertise- ment covering a full page. There is an at- | | tractive illustration calculated to put the love of automobiles in the heart of every | beholder, Then the writer gives you about |300 words, in most readable type, about the | | numerous superiorities of the Billiken car.

If I were managing a magazine I would pay the advertisers five cents a word for’ | copy, and charge the story writers two hune dred dollars a page. } One reason why advertising is interesting is that it is preaching. And preaching, even if only. preaching the merits of Spoop- endike’s chewing gum, is the most vividly interesting of arts and the most universally bungled. I know of no other calling where a man can get by with “Oh; he can’t do his work well, but he’s a good man and never smokes.” Your ad man is a gifted preacher. He ought to be put at writing editorials, which are preachment, and usually poorly done.
