THE VALUE OF ADVERTISING


Establishments Of every kind, com
mercial or industrial must engage
in the great undertaking of advertis-
ing II they are to survive in the
gigantic struggle of world wide char
acter that is now under way. The
manufacturer who expects to thrive
and grow, must put out some money
to acquaint the public with the value
of his products, and the merchant
who expects to Guido the old time
cross roads store methods must give
the public facts and figures on his
merchandise.
Discussing the enormous expendi-
lures that will be made in advertis-
ing. this year, the Industrial Index
says:
1.-THE enormous sum of $1,000 ,000.-
900 will be expended for advertising
this year in the United States"-ac-
cording to the estimate of the Ad
mems Club of Atlanta.
1T is declared that no phase Of
the evolution Of American business
in the last quarter Of century has
been so remarkable as the growth of
advertising, and the fact that ad-
vertisers will expend $1,000. 000, 900 in
1917, is in itself. the ultimate answer
to the question, If indeed. such a
question exists in the mind Of any
person, whether advertising pays,
! "A famous magazine recently
stated editorially that 1t knows sew
eral concerns whose physical assets
could be replaced for $1,000. yet whose
business could not be bought for $780,
600. The answer? Good WILL repu.
tation public cquaintance-created
by advertising"
confined to any particular line OF
business. or any branch of indus
try Likewise. 1t must be considered
by the city. the organization. or any
other undertaking that desires to
thrive. prosper and expand.
That advertising pays. that it is
the logical thing to do, is long since
firmly established. Witness is right
here in Augusta, by going over the
records. and 1t will be seen that the
stores doing the biggest and bes'
business are those that have always
been advertising. and the ones thai
viii do the biggest and best business
in the future will undoubtedly be the
stores that advertise their offerings
and back 1t up with the goods and ths
service. You can't beat it.-Augustt
Chronicle.

Calling upon every citizen in the ma
ton to put personal interests aside and
help the government classify the re-
naming 100000 draft registrants,
President Wilson ordered complete re-
organization of the draft system.
lie asked every lawyer to volunteer
his services and every doctor to do the
me. in order that free legal and medi-
eel Gid bureaus may be established for

shall general announced will begin
throughout the country about December
-, should be completed in 60 days.
The QUESTIONABLE itself is in the mails

public.
Under its terms the exact physical
mental, moral, social, commercial and
industrial status of every registrant

sicians, and every other type of man
er.is at its disposal. Speedy mobili
cation and equipment Of units of any
war task will be possible, efficiency

are plenty Of lawyers to help the reg
istrants do this.
