Excerpt from The Mailbag, Vol. 2: A Journal of Direct Mail Advertising; April, 1918 March, 1919
Advertising direct by mail is only one of many advertising vehicles em ployed by merchandisers to attract, interest, convince, etc., those to whom they wish to sell. There is no one form of advertising to meet all needs - our soliciting friends of the newspaper, magazine and bill-board fields to the contrary notwithstanding - any more than' you can ride from the City Hos pital to Mt. Hope without changing street cars unless you go de luxe in a hearse or other private conveyance.
Direct advertising has some peculiar advantages of its own - but, I repeat, it will not fit all needs or all men any more than a suit of stein-bloch clothes.
Possibly we take to direct advertising more readily and naturally than to other forms, because it is so logical and simple. We have all been in the habit when we wanted to say anything to somebody who could not be reached conveniently by word or mouth, to say it to them in a letter, which Uncle Sam delivers for two or three cents.
For example: You have a dog that is no longer welcome in your home a Boston bull pup, let us say, that has made itself unpopular by tearing up the rugs and curtains. But it is a good pup in its way, and out in Batavia or Canandaigua is a cousin of yours who always expressed a fancy for said pup. Almost unconsciously, you use direct advertising and write a line to your cousin saying the pup is now look ing for a good home.
