Speak up! Advertising is the voice of business, nothing more. Use it to say something for yourself. If all the stores in your town are silent, there is a rare opportunity for you to become articulate. If half of them are talking, the silent half will have little attention. Be not one of them. If all are talking, endeavor to speak out above them all. This is a hustling world. Bashfulness and silence are not business virtues. The business man who thrives is the one who has an advertising voice and uses it. So speak up!—Printers’ Ink.
