EVOLUTION OF ADVERTISING
Copyright 1912 by Geo. E. Patterson.

Business methods are continually changing. Within the memory
OF many Of the active business men of today a real evolution has taken
place. A few years ago there a a ready market for manufactured
products. This vas because our population was not so large and the
demand easily exhausted the supply. But increasing population, in
creasing factories, and greater competition have changed the situation.
Today the manufacturer is endeavoring through advertising to create
a demand for his goods, a he finds local dealers are anxious to carry
in stock goods of recognized quality for which there is a demand.
Although the manufacturer has been creating a demand for his
product through a big advertising campaign it is up to the merchant
to carry Oh the advertising campaign in his community, and not only
handle goods Of quality but to be strong in telling of their merits.
While business has been developing, advertising, as a part of bust
ness, has undergone great changes. About fifty years ago it was con
sidered contrary to business ethics to solicit a customer away from a
competitor. From then to now is Only a short span of years, and yet
today about $1OO0,c0OO00 is spent annually in advertising. CompetL
ton has become very sharp in the advertising field and to be a u
cessfuI advertiser requires skill The spasmodic, Wasteful advertising
of yesterday is giving way to the persistent and systematic advertising
of today.
The time is fast approaching when the persistent and systematic
advertiser is going to get the business. 1t may not one today "
tomorrow but il is just as certain to come a death itself. Every mer-
chant who desires to keep abreast Of changing business methods will
make it a part of his business to study advertising or h lie will wake up
some morning and find he is outclassed and outdistanced.

STRONGLY OPPOSES
EXCISE LAWS AS
THEY ARE TODAY
Hermon c. Metcalf Speaks
in Favor of Adoption of
Jones-Works Bill.

i'hat the present excise laws are in
adequate for the protection of the moral
and economic interest Of the National
capital was the contention of Hermon
/. Metcalf, representing the Anti-Sa-
loon League, during an illustrated ad-
bress before a large audieuce at the
Emmanuel Baptist Church last night.
One hundred lantern slides, depicting
conditions as they exist in Washington,
were shown, and Mr.. Metcalf urged
that the Jones' Works excise bill be
passed by Congress. He praised The
Washington Times for its fight for few
pr saloons for Washington, and at this
mention there was a burst Of applause.
One picture presented by Mr.. Metcalf
thowed the homes of several wealthy
liquor dealers in Washington, then the
bowels of the poor to whose poverty
tould be traced the Influence of intoxi-
tants.
Mr.. Metcalf traced the material de-
relopment Of washington from the
time of its foundation, pointing out
that the present development was the
result Of such men as Washington, JEFF
ferson. L'Enfant and Shepherd. All
great propects, he said, are the outcome
of the visions of men of constructive
genius, and who combine with their
bowers Of imagination the ability to
execute.
He commended the administration of
Commissioner Rudolph, but pointed out
that the present excise law offers too
much latitude for lax execution. and
that there Is an inclination to construe
the law to the advantage of the liquor
interests. He said II the liquor estab-
}tshments of Washington were placed
Ede by side they would line Pennsyl-
Sania avenue solidly on both sides from
the Peace Monument to the Treasur,
Department. standing at the entrance
of the Municipal building. thirteen sa
looms are within the range of vision
most of them facing the Municipa
plaza" said Mr.. Metcalf.
The license fee of $500. he said, die
not pay a proper proportion Of the cos
OF maintaining the police force, th'
courts, and the penal and reform instl
tutions. nor do the business Interests
served by liquor offset the loss through
the inefflciency of drinking men. Tn
moral betterment of the city should
he said, keep pace with the materia
development.
Mr.. Metcalf's subject was "Beholc
This Dreamer Cometh," and was givci
primarily for the purpose of arousint
interest in the Jones' Works hill
