There were no school houses nor

PLAYING BY RULE.

Playing by rule is always restrictive.
1t is punitive, too.
Napoleon used to say that God was

And it takes great courage to shove

ADVERTISING ON A FIRM BASE

James I. Clarke, a vice president OF
the National Bank or Commerce OF
New York, says that he does not look
for any considerable loss in the vol
cme of newspaper and magazine ad-
vertising and supports his contention
by presenting a comparison of total
advertising lineage with bank clear
ings outside New York for the past
ten years and shows that both follow
the same general trend.
He cites advertising statistics, ami
plots them on a graph.s together
with figures on bank clearings, ana
says that the seasonal variations in
newspaper and magazine advertis-
ing occur together and with great
regularity and are substantially SIM
liar in extent. He says that a gen.
eral upward trend in the volume OF
advertising continued without sub
stantial interruption from the earliest
date for which satisfactory data arc
available until the fall OF 1920.
He then adds:
During the latter half Of 1920 and
the first months of the current year
business was again faced with a
period of sudden and profound re-
of New York City, which reached d
total of over $4,000, 900, 900 in Octo-
Der. 1920, fell to less than 3,0oo,-
COO, 900 in February, 1921. The vol
ume of magazine advertising declined
in accordance with the usual seasonal
but much more precipitately than in
previous years The volume of news
paper advertising followed the nor.
NAL seasonal variations and decreased
proportionately less than bank clear
| ings. 1t thus appears that, apart
from seasonal variations, the volume
OF advertising tends generally to move
with general business activity but that
on the whole the volume of advertis-
| ing lineage pGssesseS marked stability
rising less rapidly than business ir
seasons of extraordinary activity and
falling less rapidly in periods of de-
preston. Newspaper advertising ap-
pears to be more stable than magazine
advertising. There appears to be nc
reason to believe that the notable In
| crease in periodical advertising dur
ing 1919 and 1920 was influenced tc
any great extent by federal taxes, oil
was the result of any factor other
than the stimulus of business activity
Mr.. Clarke concludes that the ex.
| pSElShSo VI Inc past ten years uas
demonstrated that the place of ad-
vertising in the present economic sys.
tenn is well established. and It is i'm
probable that there can be any very
great curtailment of its volume. That
is to say, the advertiser has ceased t.
regard advertising as an experiment
and the reader has ceased to regard
an advertisement as thing OF doubt.
