Occasionally the first attempt at advertising proves to be a failure, and where there is a failure in anything there is always a reason for it. The thing to do Is to locate the cause and avoid a repetition of the same in the ■ future. Not infrequently a man may ! fail in business for some reason or other, but if he is made of the right sort of material instead of giving up . entirely he will begin all over again and profit by previous experience. Ex-’ perience in newspaper advertising counts for just as much in the struggle for success as experience in any other business.

He was here ag a student in the late fifties, when prohibition prevailed and declares there was far more drunkneness among the students under the dry regime than there has ever been since.
