The Lenten Season

The observance Of set time for
self-examinings and self-denials," says
the poet Herrick, ''has been of untold
benefit both in the church and the
world, and experience has proved
that this is SO. The opportunity for
self-examination, seli-denials and dis
cipline is once more at hand To the
busy world there has come call,
sanctioned by church and CUSTOM for
relaxation and retirement and for the
refrigeration OF spirit that is OBJ
tained only through prayer and fast
ing and service and close thought

those forty days in the wilderness.

The Force That Makes
The Wheels Go Round

Advertising is to business what elec-
tricity is to the city-light and power.
1t is at once a gentle force that makes
things clear and an irresistible force
that makes things go.
Advertising has sent the selling me-
thods of the past generation to the
scrapheap to keep company with the
talow dip and the horsecar. Founded
on the most abstracr of sciences, it
concerns itself with the most con-
crete of facts. Wasteful and hapha-
zard in its crude beginnings, it has
revo'utionized business because in lis
later development it has proved the
most economical and efficient method
O, selling goods. TODAY. manutactur-
ers split pennies to find profits and
split hairs 10 find costs. The old idea
that an article is more expensive be-
cause 1t is advertised is exploded. AS
infai by as water seeks the lowest
possible level, modern business seeks
the most economical method OF mar
ketinp is products. An advertised
article is cheaper than one which IS
sold to consumers by tallow-dip, horse
car methods.
Advertising is salesman that .s
always at work, but never wearles a
customer, thar calls on the same man
until he is convinced, but never an
novs him with its insistence; that
wastes no time, wastes no words, and
thai can always gain an audience ana
a hearing. Alone among statesmen.
advertising has free access to the IL
braries OF President TAFT and MI.
Morgan; it marches unchecked pas'
the secretary of the big merchant ana
enters without hindrance the store ol
the retailer. When it cannot tell Its
story to man in his othce, 1t can
always gain his attention in his home.
