WHAT IS ADVERTISING?
CASH PRICES
“Advertising is the education of
the public as to what yon are, where
yon are, and what yon have to offer
in the way of skill, talent or com
modity. The only man who should
not advertise is the man who has
nothing to offer the world in the
way of commodity or service.”
— Elbert Hubbard.
