Advertising Its Principles, Practice, and Technique (Classic Reprint)

In this book, I have tried, to the best of my judgment, to analyze and to put together in systematic form the available facts and elementary principles of advertising. It is hoped that the book may serve as a first textbook for students and as an introductory handbook for business men. I have tried, therefore, to combine the practical--aB d1;etheoreticl aspects of the subject in such a way that the practical experiences of business houses, which are quoted at length, may illustrated the underlying principles, and that the discussion of principles may illuminate the practical results of business. Problems of advertising policies and plans, and problems in the technique and construction of advertisements, are given at the end of the various chapters. These will increase the usefulness of the book as a text. This book does not pretend to be a final treatise on the subject. The last word in advertising has by no means been spoken. Scarcely more than a beginning, in a scientific way, has been made. No one realizes more than the writer, after several years of teaching and of practical contact with advertising, the scarcity of thoroughly established facts and principles. The author takes pleasure in acknowledging his gratitude to the editors and publishers of Printer sI nk, System Advertising andS elling, and Judicious Advertising for permission to quote extensively from these periodicals.
