Speaking of Real AdYertisin$

We will all have to admit that the General Motors C.orpontion is a succerE. last year this corporation made as much money as U. S. Steel In the last several yeart it haa been the wonder worker of the business world.

You have heand of what Chevrolet----one of the General Motors babies-has been doing to Mr. Fond's well known product.

Iluring the year 1926, the bis Chevrolet year, the General Motorg C-ompany advertised Chewolet rather extensively. They admit that this advertieing had much to do with building that banner year. No one, probably, will attempt to doubt it.

[.ast year Chevrolet rent out three piecee of mail advertising in rapid succeEsion, telling 5,(X)0,(X)O readerc in the country about Chev' rolet.

There were 15,0(X)r000 of thege circulars in all, and tlrey were printed and mailed at a cost of $1,1fi),0fi).

That wilt give you an idea of what Genenl Motors Corporation thinks of their mail advertising.

And yet, there are worlds of lunrber merchants who would like to make tlreir btrsincas hum like General Motonr is humming, who neyer send out a piece of mail advertising.

THEY DON'T THINK IT PAYS.
