| Summary | "The Clock that Had No Hands, and Nineteen Other Essays About Advertising" by Herbert Kaufman is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. This book delves into the world of advertising, exploring its critical role in modern commerce. Kaufman's essays illustrate how advertising serves as a vital connection between merchants and customers in an increasingly complex market landscape. In this collection, Kaufman uses various metaphors and anecdotes to illustrate the impact of effective advertising practices. He emphasizes that just as a clock relies on its hands to function correctly, a business must utilize advertising to ensure its success. Throughout the essays, he underscores important principles such as the need for persistence in advertising, the importance of clear and simple communication, and the necessity for businesses to adapt to changing market dynamics. By drawing parallels with historical events and characters, such as Alexander the Great and the Spartans at Thermopylae, Kaufman provides valuable insights into how modern businesses can navigate their advertising challenges and thrive in a competitive environment.
