standard of manhood is an important
business asset, and that the advance
ment OF material prosperity ought 10
and eventually must have benei-
cent effect upon civilization and the
opportunities for higher life. He
does not. however, limit himself 10
making a demand upon the business
man or the employer for spiritual de-
velopment and moral growth The
workman also, must in Mr. Hamil-
toms opinion, set for himself high
standard OF ethics II he expects 10 be
worthy of his hire. He must rid him
self of habits that interfere with his
health and efficiency and he must get
a larger vision OF life than that which
is bounded by factory walls. or he
will fall by the wayside with the man
who tries 10 remain In business by
pursuing dishonest methods.
AS n man who has had widespread
experfcnce In the advertising field Mr.
Hamilton's views OF advertising meth
DDS are worth examining
"AdvertisinR,' he says, involves the
publicity OF mans work In which his
Ideals are expressed, We came TO be
confronted by the Issue; Shall we adj
vertisers conceal or misrepresent facts
about the products OF human toll
achievement or shall we insist that
that which Is advertised be worthy OF
publicity For years the struggle has
gone on and an increasing number
are now advocating that advertised
commodities shall be what they pur-
port or are represented to be. The
maintenance Of this standard Is slowly
doing two things. First, IL ia forcing
greater honesty In business. both in
product and In sale Second, it is com
Polling both advertisers and their

fore the whole problem OF the moral
character and influence OF the printed
page

minister 10 our deepest human needs.
This. as understand Il, is the spirit
ualization OF business"
The Christian Science Monitor, OF
Boston, in an article setting forth the
aims and sc>2e OF the convention
gives much credit TO the Detroit
Times for it's part in bringing about
the present high ideal OF advertising
ethics set up by the Associated clubs.
The Monitor says;

vention OF advertising men Il Boston

ment and news writing. II was
