Every manufacturer who indulges in advertising is giving a hostage to fortune... he is inviting public confidence in his goods and he will rapidly go out of business if he cannot live up to his claims. (‘Listener’, Suppl) — Любой фабрикант, прибегающий к помощи рекламы, всегда в какой-то мере испытывает судьбу... Он расхваливает свой товар, ожидая, что публика ему поверит.
