I Our 



I President's 



I First Ad. 



As President of this company, 

 I prefer to keep in the back- 

 ^ ground, but our ad man has been 

 doing too much talking that's over 

 people's heads; and too little about 

 the things we have to sell. 



We have had several talks to- 

 gether and finally he suggested my 

 trying a hand at it. So that's 

 exactly what I am going to do. 



First there's the question of get- 

 ting started right— half the troubles 

 are because trouble enough isn't 

 taken about that. 



If we are willing to spend our 

 good money coming to talk over 



with you the various problems of 

 your proposition and explain to you 

 just how we can meet your wants, 

 it does seem to me that you are 

 turning down a good thiug when 

 you don't write us whenever the 

 buildiug bee is buzzing in your head. 



Heating, for instance— think of 

 the costly "fix-overs" and trouble 

 that a little trouble, in starting 

 right, would have saved. 



If you have a regular twister of 

 a problem, I'll take a hand in it 

 myself.
