Only the man who looks upon ad- vertising as an expense, who is afraid of it, prejudiced against it, loses money in advertising. The man who treats advertising as an invest- ment and gives it the attention an investment requires--knoWs that everyjidollar rightly in- vested in this direction yields compound inter- k est-and more.
