FOUR SAVED BY
LEAPING FROM
BLAZING AUTO
MI. and Mrs. Russell Hoskins, Rock
Island, and Friends in
Thrilling Escape.
Especial Moline service.l

Crossed wires in the automobile
of Russell Hoskins, 1901 Thirty
fifth street, Rock Island, yesterday
resulted in a blaze and explosion
that totally destroyed his car AMI
imperiled the lives Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hoskins and Emma and Katherine
Brandt, 1924 Seventeenth street, Mo-
line.
The Hoskins, with occupants Of
two other machines, had left the
tri-cities for a Sunday outing. and
were about three miles west of
Warner when smoke was noticed
issuing through the floor of the
auto.
Hoskins, who was driving,
stopped the car and raised the floor
board. As he did SO a sheet Of
flames shot up and the quartet leap
ed from the car, barely in time to
escape. They withdrew to a safe
distance from the blazing machine
and a moment later the car was
torn to pieces by a violent explo-
sion.
MIR. and Mrs. John Brandt, Ber-
nice Kueschman and Marie Peter
son, also Of the party of tourists
were about two blocks in advance
of the Hoskins party when they
noticed that the Hoskins car was
no longer following. They return
ed to find the wrecked car, blazing
but no trace of the occupants. They
Immediately started a search FOL
the quartet, fearing that they had
been killed. They were found q
short time later, however, at 6
nearby home, and we're brought
back to the city in the Brandt car

The great buyers strike of
1920-21, never-to-b e-forgotten
event in the economic history Of
this country, proved point which
must henceforth be recognized as
basic and incontrovetible.
1t was discovered by merchants
and jobbers everywhere, in prac-
tically every line of merchandise,
that it was the trademarked and
adequately advertised brands of
goods that got the lions share of
the business there was to get, while
the preponderant loss Of sales fell
on the unbranded and unadver-
tised goods.
This was a great Showdown"
for Advertising. Its position as a
factor in economic life was on
trial. Had it really done what had
always been claimed for it? Had
it created consumer preference
that would hold against the keen
competition of a sacrifice price on
unmarked goods?
The verdict of the buying pub
lie was unqualified. It was not a
straw vote to determine popularity.
It was the final test Of willingness
to buy. The ballots were dollars.
And the preponderant majority
voted with their dollars that they
preferred to keep right on buying
advertised goods.
With the whole country on a
reduced schedule of production
and sales, the factories that were
able to keep on producing, in any
thing like normal quantities, were
invariably those making trade

marked and nationally advertised
goods.
All over the country today
manufacturers, jobbers, and mer-
chants are giving serious consider
alton to this important and con-
spicuously demonstrated fact: the
public prefer to buy nationally ad-
vertised brands Of merchandise.
And public demand is the last word
in alLeconomic situations. No one
can go against it and long endure.
This will mean, then, that more
and more manufacturers will seek
out ways to make their products
worthy of a distinctive trademark
and a sustained plan of advertis-
ing. It will mean that merchants
will more and more give prefer
ence in their stocks to advertised
brands. 1t will mean that the job
bers will more and more arrange
to supply the merchant with adver-
tised brands.
But new advertisers, manufac-
turers who are finally convinced
that their future lies in the direc-
ton of an advertised product, will
discover that the magic power of
advertising cannot be applied ov-
ernight. It may require sustained
: effort to attain a position of equal
ity with competitors who have been
advertising for many years. This
will be an unwelcome discovery.
But it will be found to be the truth,
and will be their only hope of gain
ing a substantial foothold in what,
from now on, must continue to be
a more keenly competitive market
than we have known for genera
ton.
