Hiding your light under a bushel

worth lighting; if you haven't the less

We feel that the manifest conf

through advertising.
Of course the merchandise is main

world about that merchandise.
After all is said and done, advertis-

Advertising, like everything else,
must have backing, and when prop
erly backed it becomes one of the
greatest forces in present day in
dustrial life.

We believe in advertising.


that we are willing (unsolicitedly) to
buy this space to pay tribute to it.
Not merely a tribute to Advertising
as an art, or as a profession, but to
Advertising as a Power in business,
and as a great factor and positive
necessity in the highest type of con-
duct and of development of the great
enterprises that have made American
business institutions and American
commerce the wonder and the envy
of the entire world
We would not, under any circum-
stances, be understood as advocating
advertising as substitute for weak
ness in either merchandise, or methods
of merchandising, but rather as an
accessory of almost incalculable value
in the exploiting and selling of ary
worthy product.
Advertising is force only when
there is force back of it.
The right kind of advertising re-
duces the cost of selling and therefore
does not necessitate initiation of the
price of the merchandise advertised
Advertising an unworthy product
is no more nor less than fastening the
inevitable disaster that must follow
questionable methods, either in the
making or exploiting of merchandise
of doubtful character.
Advertising often follows and
should follow as a sequence to sue
cess.
It's merely lodging facts for any
manufacturer or large distributor of
any important and nationally adver- ;.
tlsed commodity to treat the adver-
tising end of the business slightingly
or as merely incidental to the business
at large.
Unless the advertising end of
business is fully recognized as a sub
stantial factor-a part and parcel of
the business-there is going to be
leak in efficiency.
The advertising department Of a
business is deserving of, and needs,
the most whole-hearted sort of under
standing and cooperation of the en-
tire force making up the personnel of
its organization.
From our advertising department
we expect only that the advertisements
measure up to the standard of the
merchandise and furthermore we ex-
pect the advertising management to
make sure that the merchandise is
fully worthy of what is to be said about
it in the printed word.
There is good reason for us to feel
as we do toward advertising for we
