KennebeC Journal Ads
Give Practical Helps

A advertising took on this char
~ acter, and was more and more
- aimed to interest and inform,
it gained readers. usewives
learned that through reading the
advertisements of the stores they
could really learn things about COM
modities and their prices, without
spending needless hours of "shop-
ping" Thus the circle of people in
fuenced by advertisements expand
ed with consistent and solid results.
All life and living tends more and
more to organization, to system, to
efficiency Of method. Buying for the
home, almost the last of the great
businesses of the world to come un-
der the sway of business methods"
at last felt the impulse toward eff
cheney. The housewife learned that
she, too, was "in business" and that
she owed it oherself and to those for
whom she acted as buyer to see to it
that her task was performed with ef-
fciency and economy and wise judg-
ment. Thus the circle of people in
fuenced by advertising widened and
expended in a greater degree.
And the expansion of the circle
goes on. If merchant holds the at
tention and interest of the people in
this city who read and are Influenced
in their buying by the advertise
ments he need not worry about other
people or 9th er problems.

~ IME was, and within the memo
ries of many of us, when but
few people read advertisements
and those with misgivings.
Advertising had not yet found it's
proper place in the economy of life.
Much of it was neither informing
nor dependable nor of interest.
AS with other phases of life, time
brought changes. Little by little
the tone Of advertising imp roved,
and it came to be of use and service
to the people. It developed, gradual
ly into medium of information for
the people about commodities and
products and and facts and figures.

Greenville.-A man who owns an
auto and goes for tour has to be
wiser than King Solomon. Here is a
specimen. w. III. Prentice of this
city arriving at the entrance of Mich
igan City, as all law abiding citizens
that have autos do, put out his head
light and put on his DINNERS. He
had not raveled block when he was
stopped by policeman and notified
he was under arrest for not having
his lights lighted. Prentice went to
the police court where the sergeant
in charge paid no attention to Prem
tice but listened to the policeman and
said S25 or would sieze the auto for
the payment. After about an hours
hard work Prentice found the chief
of police stated his case, and was
told to go on his way and the police
man was reprimanded. 1t would
have been an easy way for the SER
geant and the policeman to have made
$25, but the graft was prevented by
Mr.. Prentice.
