Dan $ayles Want Advertising T ak
DIFFERENCE OF OPINION

Somebody said that II is difference Of
opinion that promotes horse racing.
Yes, II Is difference of opinion that
promotes life itself.
You like something that I don't-and
vice versa That means competition
Of ideas. Competition promotes prog
ress. Progress is the chief aim OF life.
The fact that you and / and the other
fellow don't agree on what is desirable
as regards homes. jobs, clothes. food.
automobiles. investments, and what
not. is the very foundation rock upon
which advertising is built. II every
body agreed with everybody else
about everything there would be no
need Of advertising. and there would
be mighty few things worth advertis-
ing. The world would go to seed and
shrivel up.
You probably consider that the goods
in your store or the produce from your
farm are the very best In this part OF
the country. Some other merchant or
farmer feels that HE has the best.
The public has no reason to agree with
EITHER OF you until IT KNOWS THE
FACTS. Advertising is simply MAX
ING THE FACTS KNOWN.
