Overcoming the
"lnsurnountable Obstacle"

WE can't advertise because our fac
tory can't take care of the present
demand'
I'VE believe in advertising, and would
surely advertise, but we can't get raw
materials for our product"
These are some of the so-called "insur-
mountable obstacles" that prevent manu-
tacturerS from increasing the sale of their
goods and increasing their annual profits,
from securing better distribution and, more
enthusiastic c er cooperation, from
broadening their merchandising vision and
from making better men Of themselves
for these are exactly the things advertising
would do for them.
Did it ever strike you that other manu-
facturers were confronted with "insur-
mountable obstacles" as we'll as yourselves.
Of course they were, every man jack of
them.
The Goodyears, the Armours, The
Fleisclmanns, the Plumbs, The Campbclls,
tho VictorS, the DisstonS all ovcrcamc "in-
hcult or "insurmountablc" than you ever
dreamed.
CIV. Post, poor man, pucl5ed an idea"
out of the clouds-an antagonistic idea at
that, Don't Drink Coffee" and left an
estate worth many millions.
We can give you scores of such examples,
the history OF advertising is full Of them
and there are greater opportunities for sue
cessfu and more brilliant results today than
ever were when advertising was in its
earlier and less mature development.

The clement of uncertainty is-largcly re-
moved from advertising properly done
Every advertisable product or service has

every element of each proposition until we
arrive.
The "lnsurmountable obstacle" often pro-
vides the real reason for advertising; what
ever the appeal, it must be truthful without
exaggeration, and entirely legitimate.
81 s.
We respect advertising as a great indus
trial economy. We would not knowingly
undertake the exploitation Of any product
or service that did not ring true. We would
not undertake any advertising venture that
would tend to weaken public confidence in
advertising.
We submit our record as evidence Of our
sincerity.
The average life" of accounts with us is
seven years and six months
The average life Of an account with
agencies in general is eleven months.
Our business increased $50 per cent. last
year and 90 per cent. Of tho total amount
Of advertising VIC placed in 1919 was from
advertisers who had been with us for more
than ono year and in some instances that
VIC had served for quarter Of a century
That means that held to 4 dollar and
cents accountability, we had to make good
to advertisers who judged us solely on per
tormancc and who had confidence in
us and our plans because they knew what
we had done and could do for them

If you think you have an "insurmount-
able obstacle to advertising and would
like to know how VIC helped other advcr-
tlsers turn their "insurmountablc obstacle"
INTO Steppng-stone to success VIC have
some interesting things to tell
We will be more than glad to talk with
you, without obligation on your part, if you
will drop us line advising us when it
would be convenient for you to have us call.
