Superior work always proclaims itself.

These ads are relics of a bygone age.

Indeed they are, and they should be revered as such!

It is written in very simple words. Why is everyone praising it so much?

I think simplicity is always praised.

As in the case of this "Power Words" list.

In advertising, all writing is governed by one single parameter. Ease of communication. The simpler the language in advertising the more easily it will be understood, and also understood by more people.

You are absolutely correct, Beena. And that's particularly bright of you to uinderstand this at your age. Many much older ones do not understand this.

And this particular ad is one of the finest examples of simple yet amazingly effective copy writing.

Ulrich · « **Reply #108 on:** May 04, 2012, 03:50:27 AM »

The fact that this ad still gets reviews and positive comments even after so many decades is itself proof of its greatness.

Very nicely written

It is much more than nicely written. It is a very effective ad, and comes across as a genuine, sincere offering. This is something rarely seen in ads today.

You are not only eager to learn about Advertising etc, but also unassuming and courteous. These are very valuable qualities. Stick to them and nurture them.

I would say they are revered, and very much so. This topic here is itself proof of that.

This the kind of young person that goes very far and rises high in whatever profession they may choose to enter. Our region is so rich in talent, if only Parents and society had the good sense to nurture this raw talent and provide it proper direction.

In many ways, our millennium is the Asian millenium, and it is such young ones will make it a beacon for other regions and eras.

There was a time when copy writers mulled over copy, did drafts and redrafts, discussed things with colleagues . . . nowadays there's a demand for instant solutions to problems that keep getting more and more complex each passing day.

aafat · « **Reply #118 on:** June 02, 2012, 07:53:12 AM »

Advertising, in the early days, was a passion with those practiced it. Nowadays it is a mere career.

You people are very generous. Thanks a lot. InshaAllah I'll stick to them and nurture them and will never forget these valuable qualities.
