PHILOSOPHY OF ADVERTISING
Changing Methods an Index of
Changing business and Social
Conditions.

The study of advertising seems to have
a perennial charm for the American pub
lie. Hardly a month passes but SOM
magazine finds a new and inviting phase
of this modern art to lay before It's read
ers. The solid literature of advertising
is also growing rapidly. 1t is risky nova
days to venture upon literary illusions,
A professor of English says that he never
dares to adorn his lectures to his students
with any quotation older than the comic
papers of the previous fortnight. But no
difficulty is felt on this score when one
draws on advertising phrases. Only men
ton 'fifty-seven varieties and the ready
laugh follows. Advertising is the one form
of present-day business for which nobody
ever suggests publicity as a remedy. BY
its very nature It must avoid the secrecy
and q~uasi-confidenial methods in vogue
elsewhere. For this very reason, as Mr..
Frederick Dwight suggests in the Yale
Review for August, a survey OF changes I'm
advertising methods affords an index OF
the country at large.
The technique Of the subject is almost
as extensive as that OF scientific agrieul-
ture. While volumes have been compiled
on the art of writing Advertisements, ac-

schedules to measure the profit and loss
resulting. Commercial schools and col
leges devote courses Of study to the sub
Ject. Indeed, the capstone of the curricu-
lum OF a we'll known business college is an
elective upon window Dressing The
Psychology OF Advertising has served as
a door OF approach for the empirical study
of the mind of the mob-how its attention
is caught. it's interest enlisted, it's humor
tickled, its will moved. The economics Of
advertising has opened VI one OF the dis
puted questions of the d~ay-whether ad-
vertising Is a parasitic Industry or whether
1t yields a really productive service.
Proverbially, 1T pays to advertise" But
this is only the i~ndlvidualistic view. Per
contra, Il is argued that for society as a
whole IT costs 10 advertise.
Perhaps the cOmmonest aspect Of adver-
Using has TO do with its humorous side.
Nothing is so current with the public as an

pired to. Here, too, there is a reverse side
to the medal. Only recently Governor
Hughes signed a message Furnishing the
dissemination OF improper intelligence
which sought refuge under the shelter OF
trade publicity. But what shall be said OF
the invasion Of the privacy OF life by using
without permission or pay a photograph

proprietary article? Fortunately, the

firms seems likely to set a black eve in
the courts. Gompers Ia still out Of Jail, II
is true. but his methods are at a discount.
The wanton invasion Of the walls Of the
subway stations remains ss yet unre-
pulsed, but we may hope for better things
when the new lines are built.
Mr.. Dwight, in the article referred to,
shows admirably how the study Of ad-
vertising casts considerable light upon
changes in business and social ethics.
A hundred and fifty years ago the adver-
Using tradesman grovelled." He hum
bly, solicited patronage" and felt a lively
sense Of gratitude for past favors." The
wholesale dealer published a plain unvar-
nished tale. The public was informed Of

Of the last century a sort Of hysteria Of
brazen and rhetorical announcements sud
denly famed into view. Every circus was
a mastodonic aggregation of wonders. A
veritable age Of wind and hyperbole came
In. Landscape advertising threatened to
turn every natural wonder into a night
mare. The national ensign was prostituted
to serve the turn Of every hawker of pat
emit medicines. The kingdom of patronage
was taken by violence. and an anarchy
OF pad taste was let loose. bul NOudy lhlS
pandemonium has become much subdued.
The Individual advertisement is commonly
in good taste, both in legend and in Illus
tration. Many are positively beautiful; and
as a wit has truly said, the cereal adver-
tisements in the magazines are far more
interesting than the serial stories. II is
true that there still prevails a lamentable
lack OF artistic coordination Of advertise
ments. But this only reflects the lack Of
coordination so evident in many of the
social arrangements Of our day.
1t is curious that with all the thought
which has been devoted to the study OF
this mattet. the natural sources of the evo-
luton Of advertising have never been in
vestigated. We may expect that when
work is done, the origin Of advertising
will be found in the decorative Characters

song and plumage Of the birds, and in the
wondrous coloring and still more marvel

deserves the name Of frozen music, ad-
vertising may yet prove to be the living
coquetry of trade-New York Evening Post.

The trial OF the divorce suit of Mrs.
Rhoda Butler, who seeks to collect S75, 200
alimony from her aged husband, William
Butler, was taken up before Judge Wood
ruff In district court yesterday. TIL hear
ing drew a large crowd of spectators and
the sensational charges made by Mrs. But
Ter caused much comment. Mrs. Butler
charged her aged husband with cruelty and
declared that he had ordered her to turn
her children out Of the house. She said
he finally ordered her out. saying that the
sooner she went the better he would be
pleased.
Mr.. Butler followed his wife's testimony
closely and frequently consulted with his
attorney with reference to statements made
by her.
Mrs. Butler testified that during a Pc
riod of illness she had no food but what
was brought to her by her daughter from
the n%eIghbors. The daughter was at the
time working in a restaurant and was able
to aid her mother.
Mrs. Butler charges her husband with
threatening to burn the house down. She
said he frequently abused her children and
boxed her little girls ears because she
asked for a second slice Of bread at a
meal.
