Show The 3d Writer The wise old lad who writes an ad steers clear of wearisome digression, he knows he should be understood if he would mike a tjoot impression. Old Jabez Dink with printer's ink kicked up a large and noisy seindy, but didn't sell his dry goods well, because his ads were long and windy. And now he rants arjund and pants and curs.'s in a style surprising: "One thing I know," he say3, "by Joe, there is no good in advertising!" But Gaffer Spink buys printer's ink, and clothes his ads in happy diction, and people read his every screed as though it were best seller fiction. His breezy ads bring him the scads and fill his store with eager buyers while merchants near loaf by the year and chew the rag with weather liars. Says Gaffer Spink: "I surely think that when I've goods to place before them, I shouldn't try to make folks buy, by starting in to tire and bore them I shouldn't try to make folks buy, by starting in to tire and bore them. And so I write my ads as bright and forceful force-ful as my hand 'can do them." Thus Gaffer brags: "I sell my rags -I don't sit around my store and chew them!" |
