Quotes by James Randolph Adams

“The most common trouble with advertising is that it tries too hard to impress people.”

“Great designers seldom make great advertising men, because they get overcome by the beauty of the picture - and forget that merchandise must be sold.”

“If advertising had a little more respect for the public, the public would have a lot more respect for advertising.”

“Advertising is the principal reason why the business man has come to inherit the earth.”

“Millions of dollars worth of advertising shows such little respect for the readers intelligence that it amounts almost to outright insult.”

Great designers seldom make great advertising men, because they get overcome by the beauty of the picture - and forget that merchandise must be sold.
