ADVERTISING DEFINED.
An Interesting Lecture by John Lee Mahin
Before Chicago Students.

Before Chtc8EO students.
John Lee Mahin President of the
Mahin Advertising Company. recently
addressed the students of the College
OF Commerce and Administration at the
University of Chicago on the subject
of ''The Commercial Value of Advertis-
ing Mi. Mahin's lecture was an expo
sition of the science OF commercial
publicity. touching upon the theories
and the technique of advertising.
Mr.. Mahin defined advertising as fol-
lows:
Influencing the minds of people.
II is making others think as you de-
sire. It means utilizing all those forces
which produce Impressions and crys-
tallize opinions. 1t is the creating of
prestige-that quality which causes
others to accept statement without
question.
THE merchant who, through his
idea of what will please the popular
taste, makes his calculations, giving
| orders to manufacturers for six months
! to u year in advance. requires great
| foresight and intimate knowledge of
| the fckleness of taste.
| Yet he does not yet possess the posi-
| tive force that advertising, when stud
led and skilfully employed. will give
| him in his business. He only deals
| with conditions as he finds them
| There is no effort to create conditions,
| but simply shrewd adaptation to ex-
| listing circumstances.
advertising rests on the Suprem-
acy of commerce. 1t requires stable
business conditions for its existence
and development. 1t is. therefore, q
higher form of mental activity than
the successful exercise Of ordinary
commercial transactions because il
goes farther. in demanding not onl!
the power to cope successfully with
commercial problems, but an added
ability to influence the human mind.
| advertising will produce active de
| sire where none. or. at least, only that
! of a latent kind existed before. Adver
Using, by employing the powerful men
tai forces which psychologists call sug
| geStion. can create well-detined habit:
among the people which an alert com
merciai mind will utilize to build III
!. and foster Il business.
