Seven said they had no particular plan- just followed the by-guess and by-gosh method. One said he tried to keep his publicity expenditures within the 3 perce nt limit, but didn't watch it very closely. And two said they planned their adverti~ing carefully in advance, appropriating a eertain percent of their gros~ ineo m e and spending the money car efull y and as judicially as possihle.
