The Return Circuit in Advertising
The circuit must be completed before the bell will ring.
The Buyer must find the Seller before a Sale is made.
CREATIVE ADVERTISING-in newspapers, maga- zines, billboards, etc., tends to suggest wants and to create desire.
Before a sale results the initiative must pass from Seller to Buyer.
When this happens the Buyer begins actively to seek where he can best supply his wants.
THIS DIRECTORY is a logical place to look (at least our subscribers tell us they use it for this purpose) and the Reference Advertising herein has assisted many sales.
