sas National Guard are highly praised
by the militia bureau for the showing
made by them in the annual encamp-

PRODUCTIVE ADVERTISING

this method of publicity. But we are not thinking
of the dollars just now. We are thinking of how
much further we would have progressed in the
solution of many of our economic and industrial
difficulties if more light had been thrown upon the
inner workings of the ofensives and defensives in
such disputes as involve the public at large.
The series of advertisements which have been
and are being published by the Standard Oil Com
pany have become economic arguments which
carry message. We are not so pleased with them
but what we realize that they put the company's
best foot forward. To what extent they have sold
gasoline is matter for their advertising depart
ment to decide, but it is certain that they have
sold to the public large measure of good will
which the Standard Oil Company did not possess
not so very long ago.
Having committed this breach of saying some
thing good about an advertiser. we will now shut
our eyes and wait for the catastrophe that is
bound to occur according to the law of prim-
eval journalism

There are three ''Bewares" IN the primer of
every editor. reporter and aspiring newspaper
worker. Where they came from we don't know
and we know less of what they mean to convey.
They are, Beware of religion; beware of saying
anything good about big corporations; beware of
mentioning advertisers except when they pay for
it" Readers of this newspaper know where it
stands On religion and corporations. We are for
them when they do more good than harm. We
oppose them when they oppose human progress
and retard human happiness.
This is about both corporation and an adver-
tiser-a big advertiser. the Standard Oil Company.
A great change has come over the Standard Oil
Company in recent years. 1t is no longer afraid of
its own shadow. 1t is no longer afraid to tell who
owns it, what its business methods are, what its
products are and what it hopes to do. The story
is being told in friendly and unfriendly papers
without fear or favor, embarrassment or COM
junction in paid advertising space.
OF course newspaper would naturally agree to

ME above editorial is refreshing to those
who are responsible for the policies of the
L Standard Oil Company (Indiana).
When in October, 1913 the present management of
the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) took charge of
the business, of the first things it decided was
that the public should be given intimate informa-
ton regarding the Company and its affairs. Those
responsible for the management knew that the
policies that had animated this organization for
many years were policies which benefited stock
holders, employees and the public, and that these
policies could not but meet the approval of the
people generally, for they were based on fair deal
ing justice and equity
The result of this decision the authorization of wide
spread publicity campaign, which has been carried for
three years. and the proof of its effectiveness be
only in the not nequent mention being made by
the newspapers of the country in editorials such the
understanding the part of the public of what the Com
PAW is trying to do.
The basic principle upon which the business of the Standard
Oil Company ndiana) is built is provide the individual
wherever he may live in the II states by this Company
with such products of petroleum he need and get
them him when he wants them and price which fair
alike to the stockholders the public and the competitor
