A discussion of the more advanced problems of advertising is purposely omitted as such problems have no place in a work of this kind. Some of the important topics taken up are only briefly touched upon for lack of space. Students who desire further information can find it in the books listed in the last chapter. The author has been guided in the selection of material by his experience as an instructor in advertising and has endeavored to arrange the topics in such a manner that the reader is led from one subject to another in logical order, so that when he has completed the course he will have acquired a definite amount of correlated information that will be of great service to him in his future work.

Excerpt from The Business of Advertising This book is intended for all who wish to know what advertising is, and how it is done. It will be helpful to the young man engaged in some phase of advertising work, and particularly to the young man who wishes to know what advertising work is in order to determine whether he wants to undertake it or not. It is written also with the idea of helping the manufacturer whose product ought to be advertised. From it such a manu facturer can gain some idea of the various steps neces sary to bring his product to the notice of the consumer. If it only strengthens in his mind the impression that professional help is necessary, it will have served a very good purpose. The advertising agent who renders Service to his client is a very important factor in the business world. Too many advertisers are ignorant of the nature and scope of that service. All that an agency has to sell is experience, the accumulated experience of dealing with many conditions and many problems. While not pri marily a book for advertisers, the mere description of an ideal agency must show them that such an agency is as necessary to successful advertising as coast survey charts to navigation, or as logarithms to an astronomer.

Excerpt from The Principles of Advertising: A d104 Book Little, if any, of the material found in the original volume could be omitted in a work to be used by the practitioner. Therefore this condensed edition is not to be considered as a substitute for the original. For the use of students in the classroom, however, it has been found practicable to eliminate some of the illustrative and explanatory matter and to confine the book to a presentation of the essential principles with only such illustrations as are needed to make these principles absolutely clear. A slight rearrangement has also been made to adapt the book to the methods of the usual advertising course.

Excerpt from My Life in Advertising That fact will be emphasized again and again in this book. I stress it here in tribute to the source of my prudence. Safety first has been my guiding star. A Scotch mother is the greatest asset a boy can have who desires a career in advertising. Then economy and caution are instinctive with him. They are fundamwtals. Success, save by accident, is impossible without them. But the lack of these qualities may be partially corrected by studious cultivation. Most business wrecks which I have encountered are due to over-reaching. TO reckless speculation on a hidden chance. To that haste which laughs at conservatism. To racing ahead on unblazed trails, in fear that some rival may go farther or get higher. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
