The Art of Advertising is az old ~
the world. Evidence of this has
come down to US in the relics
of long-vanished civilizations. We
know how advertising was demon
strated in the days of Pompeii.
Those Copymen of 1000 years ago
were masters in their way, but great
as was their skill, advertising was
denied the dignity of the Sheepskin.
This symbol of academic apprecia-
ton was never conferred upon the
craft.
Today, however Advertising has
come into its own. 1t is recog-
nized as something greater than any
Art or Science because it colors the
whole fabric of life more intimately.
1t is a worldwide power for good
in spreading the gifts and benefits
of civilization among all the peoples
of the earth.
Its battles are legion. Its successes
colossal. Advertising creates; CIV
ilization clarifies, estimates, applies.
Advertising is the friend of every
man, rich or poor; maker of things,
or user of what others have made.
Advertising has won its place be-
