Advertising Big
Creative Force.
SissOn Asserts
Tells Chicago Meeting That
Americas Great War Eff
fort Would Have Been
Impossible Without 1t

CHICAGO, June 3.-Withoue adver-
achievements during the war would
not have been possible, Francis H. Sis
son, vice-president Of the Guaranty
Trust Company of New York, declared
here to-day in an address before tho
Advertising Council of the Chicago As
sociation of Commerce. Advertising.
he added, has never before been so uni
versally recognized as one of the most
powerful creative and constructive
forces in the world.
"Like every other great basic ele-
ment in our existence" said Mr.. Sis
son, advertising has undergone
changes and has caught the spirit of
the dawning era Of a new peace. 1t
has been quickened into a new life;
it has acquired new potentiaIities.
Never before has 1t exerted such in
fuence over the minds and hearts Of
mankind. 1t has reached and stirred
our souls to the sublimest sacrifices
ut matters not that this power re-
suited from the most intense er,otional
period in the worlds history and that
1t was due chiefly to patriotic fervor,
for advertising was largely instru-
mental in creating the very emotion
and patriotism from which it gained
its greatest strength of appeal. Each
reacted upon the others; each devei-
oped the others. And for the first
time. advertising sounded the depths
of human nature. 1t penstrated To the
elemental in human nature.
That is the paramount lesson. ~ 81
was the paramount achievement, Of
the foundation upon which advertising
must work in building the business Of
the future. That is the basic truth Of
which we must not lose sight.
I'VE realize as never before that ad-
vertising is limited only by the iimi-
tations of human nature; that its laws
can no more be codifed than car those
of human nature; that every new dis
covery about human nature furnishes
new factor in advertising; that all
our Wanted accumulation of advertis-
ing knowledge is only fragmentary. in
complete, dlsjointed, and dehes dehni-
ton in concrete. precise, automatic
terms, even as our knowledge of hu-
man nature.
1T is well that We understand these
fundamental facts; that we eompre-
hend how ideas have changed the
world over; that We sense and study
the new human environment which
exists to-day and which transcends
acaderpic formulas or doctrinaire no.
tions. For there is q greater need TO-
day than ever in the past for scientific
knowledge of commerce, distribution,
trade conditions, finance, economies.

man knowledge-in the advertising

Many of the jobbers had their fall
samples made up before the strike
was called and have booked some or
ders on these samples. Early fall
business has not been so heavy with
the jobbcrs as it has been among the
manufacturers who maintain their own
shops, it is said This is party ex-
planned by the fact that the jobbers'
"stock' garments for immediate de-
livery and the retailers do not visit
the jobbing houses until they are
ready TO take the merchandise into
their own stores. Retailers must
place their orders with manufacturers
far enough ahead to give the latter

Market for UnbIeached
Cotton Fabrics Easier;
FL0nneLs Aduance

While buying of some standard
brands OF bleached cotton goods was
resumed yesterday at an advance of
TWO to three cents yard over the
prices quoted two weeks ago, the mar
ket for unbleached fabrics was re-
ported as being a little easier Some
of the leading grades Of print cloths
were sold oy converters at prices that
averaged one-quarter to one-half cent
yard under those demanded by the
mills. The sales made by these con-
Verters, or spectators, as some inter-
ests characterize them, were not large
and 1t was intimated that the transac-
tions had served to help rather than
lnjure market conditions.
Colored goods were sold in fair
volume. but number of the selling
agents reported that they had booked
about enough orders for forward de-
livery, and it was intimated that many
belated buyers have been forced to &C
cept other than the standard fabrics
that they had intended buying Some
Southern fancy outing fiannels were
advanced to 2112 cents a yard, the in.
crease being three cents yard.
One of the leading b.eached goods
agents stated that afte4- increasing
prices from two to three and one-half
cents yard his fabrics were still be-
ing sold below the present price of the
unfinished product from which the
bleached goods are made The gov
ernment's offering of 100000 yards of
aircraft cloth elected some interest in
the trade, and it was intimated that
the goods might be employed in max
ing shirts as well as women's skirts.

Palatability is of great Importance
In successful feeding. The best results
can not be obtained with any feed
which is not well relished by the COW;
consequently any unpalatable feed to
be used should be mixed with those
that are appetizing.
In making the grain mixture care
should be exercised that too large
quantity of either constipating or
laxative feed is not included. Cotton
seed meal, for example, is decidedly
constipating and should be fed with
laxative grains or succulents, such as
silage or roots. For ordinary feeding
In most parts Of the United States not
more than one-third of the grain
should be cottonseed meal. In some
sections larger quantities have been
fed, but this practice is not be recon-
mended. On the other hand, linseed-0il
meal, because of it's distinctly laxative
action, should not be fed ordinarily in
greater quantities than liz pounds
day.
