It is said that the American people are fundamentally
literate. Although many never glance at a newspaper
or book but they respond to words.
Say a few blunt words to a man in a bar and he will
hit you on your jaw. You can tell him a story and the
same man will shed tears in his beer.
I like the story of a young boy whose sister had a
disease the required a blood transfusion. The girl had a
rare type of blood and only her younger brother had
that type of blood.
He volunteered at once and was laid on the bed with
a needle in his arm attached to a bottle that collected his
blood.
As the blood drained from his arm he asked his mother,
"How long will it be before I die?" The boy thought that
all of his blood would be taken to save his sister and he
would die. Both he and the sister lived a long healthy life.
That story brought tears to my eyes as I told it to my son.
Like the headline, "Do You Have Tired Blood? these words
have the power to communicate with an instant understanding.
Winston Churchill had the power to be remembered with his
words. "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.
Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by
so many to so few. An iron curtain has descended across the
continent. Let us therefore brace ourselves, so that for a
thousand years, men will still say: 'This was their finest hour.'"
The principle that makes for great advertising can be said
with the old Chinese proverb rewitten. " A thousand pictures
is worth less than a few well chosen words."
We forget that in ancient Rome the charriot was the family car,
the slave was a labor saving device and the Romans had
perfumes, beds, rugs, razors, jewels, soaps, baths and
hair creams as we do today.
Advertising can only offer a better form of transportation,
a better bed, a superior razor, soap with more lather and
hair creams with lanolin.
But men do not really need soap, razors, hair creams,
art, music, newspapers or literature. All every man needs
is a cave, some meat and a fire to keep warm.
The advertising man believes in ghosts, beats voodoo
drums, whispers magic smoke dreams and lures his
prospects with the eye of a frog and the hair of the dog.
Nothing has changed with the computer. It is only a
glorified typewriter and the magic of words is still the
way to influence and pursuade people.
