TALKS ON NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING
BY Truman A. De Weese, Buffalo, N. Y.
WHAT is THE PURPOSE OF ADVERTISING?

sive Advertising" 1t is adver-
tising that reaches the largest
possible number Of consumers in a
given locality. If a man is
manufacturing a commodity in
universal use like food, shoes, |
soap or clothing. for which it is
necessary to secure a very wide
distribution the newspaper is
the only medium in which he
can reach nearly every member OF
the human family who is :ntelli-
gent enough to purchase any
thing.
| know that the newspaper
is not usually regarded as a
national medium. Considered
alone and by itself it is not a
national medium. 1t depends
upon the way in which the news
papers are used. If a national
advertiser uses the newspapers

they have used newspapers to

The purpose of Advertising
is to sell goods. You couldn't
get any better definition of Ad-
vertising if you went to Harvard
or Yale. In fact you wouldn't
learn anything about Advertis-
ing in those institutions. 1t is
not their business to teach men
and women how to sell things.
Eighty per cent of all adver-
tising effort is directed toward
selling the things you don't
need. 1t makes the luxuries of
today the necessities Of tomor-
row. Anybody can get along
without a kodak, a victrola or a
safety razor-but Advertising
puts these things across and Gre
ateS a desire to possess them,
thus building up great industries
that furnish employment TO mil
lions Of men and puts money into
circulation. 1t puts cities on the
map. This power Of Advertising
is what makes it the most i'm.
portant factor in merchandising
today.
