training in vocational physical training religious knowledge music and agriculture miss neilson pass ed her matriculation with honors champion this is an old story to newspaper men but it bears retelling now it is about a merchant who did not believe in advertising because he thought no one read advertising so the editor of his weekly newspaper suggested a test you write an ad with a lot of copy in it was the newspaper mans chal lenge and somewhere burled in the copy offer to give a dollar bill to every one who reads the ad and brings it in if youll do that fll run your ad free just to prove that people read advertis ing in spite of the warnings of the news paper editor the merchant accepted the challenge the ad contained so many words that it had to be set in type even smaller than that in the regular news columns but buriedaway down in the ad was this offer to everyone who brings in this ad we will give a one dollar bill that was all that was said about the dollar the paper hadnt been distributed an hour before the store was jammed with people waving copies of the ad the experiment cost the merchant almost 1000 but it proved to him as nothing else ever had that subscribers to his local weekly read it from cover to cover if you d believe people read ad vertlsjng in the best read advertlslni publication in the world the small town weekly just try this experiment but first make certain that your bank account will stand the stfaln or even better suggest that the bank cashier make his headquarters in your store for the day for there will probably be
