Etiquette in
Advertising.

Up to within the last few
years it has been considered a
breach of etiquette in certain
businesses and professions to
advertise.
These men have said: ooh.
yes, advertising is all very we'll
for the butcher, the baker, the
candlestick maker, but it would
not do at all for us. 1t in not
good business ethics
In later years, however, that
idea is being abandoned, togeth-
er with a lot of other old and
worn-out theories.
The public now looks to the
advertising section of the good
newspapers for information on
all subjects. The demand has
created the supply.
People want 20 know not only
where they can spend their
money, but where and how to
Invest it. This has led bankers,
brokers, and other business and
professional men to tell their
stories in the best newspapers.
The advertising pages of
newspaper like The Gate City
are veritable index of most
lires of business activity in this
community, and the day is not
far distant when every legiti-
mate profession will unders.a and
the value of advertising.
