They recognize that, in season and
out, their national publicity is at
work, molding opinion, steadying
demand, enthusing the trade, throw
ing up ON all sides breastwork of
protection.
And as the chief means to this end,
they have adopted the Post, because
OF it's vast circulation and intensive
distribution, and also because of the
telling force with which it strikes on
the public consciousness, every
week, week after week.
No one unit i'm a Post campaign
can be viewed as a single ADVERTISE
ment. 1t is part of constant
national movement.
The Post is like great stream of
power, flowing ceaselessly onward.
1t is turning the wheels of hundreds
of selling mechanisms in hundred
different industries The accumu-
lated force of it's contact with these
gives it more power to delivertO you.
And it gains momentum week by
week. Each time you employ it, it
gives you more power than before.
This is why the advertiser who
would harness to his own business
the maximum of Post energy en-
ploys it consistently, with dominat-
ing space.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1916-09-26
something more than persistency

"A notable tendency in advertising
during the past few years has been
increased consistency.
While using larger units of space
than ever before, advertisers are also
making their publicity more sus-
tanned, more regular.
Formerly, at certain seasons, many
campaigns broke off suddenly, as if
all at once the public had ceased to
form buying habits.
But review of the issues of The
Saturday Evening Post during the
past summer will show how many
advertisers are using schedules of
every week, every other week, or
every month throughout the year
large space steadily maintained.
This is a policy of being consistent
rather than just persistent.
For it is far in advance of the
elementary idea of mere repetition.
1t means that national advertising
has become an integral part of the
business policy of these firms-inter-
twined with their every activity.
1t is as much continuous, unceas-
ing function as the development of
their horse power. They would
no more interrupt it than theywould
discharge their sales force every
summer to hire new one in the fall.

ASIATIC RUSSIA IN

PETROGRAD. July Il. - The

the convention of Siberian mayors
and representative recently held at
Irkutsk. Almost all of the delegates
who took part in the conferences
drew dark pictures Of misery and
starvation throughout Asiatic Rus
STA
One Of the delegates of the prov
ince of Irkutsk said:
In all the districts inhabited by
the Jakutes the government is
breaking down completely. These
districts are in a state OF complete
anarchy. because small officials have
established a reign Of terror and
taken everything they can lay their
hands on. 1t is useless to debate
measures for the reduction of food
prices. because there is no more
food Under ordinary conditions the
situation would improve with the
beginning of summer navigation
but this cannot be expected this
year. because conditions in the south
of Siberia are as bad as those in the
north. Next winter hundreds Of
thousands of people will die of
starvation"
"All of our cities are practically
bankrupt" the representative said.
''Irkutsk. Krasnoiarsk and Vladivos-

LONDON. July 17-Great gen
erals seem 10 be rivals in the brief
ness with which they chronicle i'm
portant events. One Of the brief
dispatches Of Joffre will forever re-
main memor9 bic.
For over a month the Germans
had been ravaging Belgium: they
were pressing on France from the
north and the east; after the cap
ture Of Liege and Namur they had
won bloody battles al Charleroi and
near Metz; day after day the French
and British armies were falling back
south and east Of Paris 10 the valley
Of the Marine.
There the stand was made at a
time when the world did not know
that Joffre. the master strategist.
was stalking almost the issue Of the
war. only paragraphs Of news had
been published officially. and the
French and British peoples could
sustain themselves only in blind
faith.
How long would the retreat go
on? Would the Germans win be-
fore the allies could improve their
resources? No. A ray Of light sud
denly illuminated the darkness
Joffre had issued an army order that
the time for the offensive had ar
rived. the time for victory or death.
And then came that brief but ever
famous dispatch in which Joffre
stated that the allies had won in
contestible victory"
Full of Meaning.
Never was a dispatch more preg-
nant with meaning. The Germans
had been checked in their onward
rush. In time to come perhaps this
phrase. "incontestible victory" will

quite clever, of course, but one may
take leave TO doubt whether it was
true. Similarly with the legend
which attributes another punning
dispatch to Sir Charles Napier who,
