“Advertising plants seeds!”

“A man who stops advertising to save money, is like a man who stops a clock to save time” ~Heny Ford “Many a small thing has been made large by the right kind of advertising.” ~Mark Twain “Advertising moves people toward goods; merchandising moves goods toward people.” ~Morris Hite “Advertising says to people, ‘Here’s what we’ve got. Here’s what it will do for you. Here’s how to get it.’” ~Leo Burnett
