..The war has taught the manufacturers and bust
ness men Of Britain that advertising not only the
least expensive to sell goods but that it also has
the important function Of retaining public good
villa goodwill whose benefits especially in criti-
cal times hardly be measured. British business
have also learned that advertising car be used in
time of to encourage the sale Of their goods and
at the time retain and even increase the good
will of the public In few British corporations
have realized when it too late, and after rrevo-
cable damage done, that advertising would have
saved them
Moreover you Americans must not forget your
opportunities for foreign trade. Millions Of people in
Great Britain and France and Italy and Central and
South America will be looking to you for American
made goods when the war is over Those OF you who
are best prepared those Of whose good will is most
firmly established, will reap the greatest benefit.
'From the outbreak of the war British business
men clearly recognized their duty to their country and
it's fighting men. 1t was essential that they should
strain every to keep the trade OF the country as
near normal possible during the and it is just
essential that when peace they must be pre-
pared to keep every factory working at fu pressure
and to find employment for every employable unit
1t is only by such methods that Britain pay for
her share OF the war.
"No nation stands to gain much commercially

And want to warn your manufacturing and export
houses that NOW is the time to prepare for peace.
find tendency here to neglect preparations for after
the war trade until peace has been declared There
could not be greater mistake Now is not the time to
export but most emphaticaly Is the time to lay
your plans and build goodwill for business at home
and abroad
Through long experience with Ango-Amer-
lean trade know that most of the failures made by
British houses exporting to this country and of
American houses exporting to Great Britain have
come about through the lack of adequately under
standing the temperaments of the public in the two
countries.
