Lesson26(1) Wanted:a large biscuit tin
No one can avoidbeing influenced by advertisements. Much as we may pride ourselves on our goodtaste, we are no longer free to choose the things we want, for advertisingexerts a subtle influence on us. In their efforts to persuade us to buy this orthat product, advertisers have made a close study of human nature and haveclassified all our little weaknesses. Advertisers discovered years ago that allof us love to get something for nothing. An advertisement which begins with themagic word FREE can rarely go wrong. These days, advertisers not only offerfree samples but free cars, free houses, and free trips round the world aswell. They devise hundreds of competitions which will enable us to win hugesums of money. Radio and television have made it possible for advertisers tocapture the attention of millions of people in this way. During a radioprogramme, a company of biscuit manufacturers once asked listeners to bakebiscuits and send them to their factory.
