for their influence seems deeply
stamped on other advertising,
wheresoever one finds it. On
one occasion a well-known pub
lication announced the contents
Of its latest issue in an adver-
tisement which was a striking
one, because in every detail Of
style, type and illustration it
was clever copy Of those Of the
Wanamaker advertisements in
the Philadelphia daily papers.
The writer knew that bis ad-
vertisement thus attracted at
tention to itself such as it could
have claimed in no other way
and let us hope that too much
disappointment was not caused
by it.
More power to the elbow Of
all who ever did, Of all who al
ways will, follow the trail blazed
by the torch Of Wanamaker in
spiration, in any field of en-
deavor!
Like Shakespeare's Hamlet"
which the little girl found to be
full Of quotations." we shall do
our best to keep current adver-
tising, our own included, as full
Of Wanamakerisms as possible,
knowing that we will be the first
to have the use of the new ones.

ccived three letters commencing MEM

One letter from Superintendent OF

After All, an

1t ought not to work a person

to communicate and some one to
communicate it to. We've had
both Of these things for sixty
one years and feel pretty much
at home in advertising.
Charles Kingsley, the famous
British author and clergyman,
long treasured the artless COM
pliment received in his corre-
spondence with a working man,
who once wrote to him:
"Your letters, Sir, make me

frequent communications to the

advertisements of merchant to
customers, as frank converse,

So It's the Great
Store That Does It:

The Store that commands
everybody's confidence through
it's fair dealings, and that can
serve everybodys needs in mer-
chandise better and more quickly
than others, through its big
dealings.
In the promotion Of these
great Wanamaker enterprises
the Wanamaker advertising en-
deavors to be useful and not to
get underfoot.
Certain kinds Of advertising
are stumbling blocks in the way
Of the very house the writers at
tempt to serve.
With fair enough intentions,
they start out to rouge the de-
scriptions a little, and before
they end, they have laid on
whole bucketfuls Of crude and
garish paint.
The advertising part in the
business Of a great store is like
that of the bridegroom at a we'd
ding.
He's a necessary part of the
outfit, and a human one, but
should keep his place.
We keep the place in this in
teresting newspaper to inform
you Of what is going on in the
Wanamaker Store, and of its
presumable relation to your
needs, your comforts and your
pleasures in life.
If, as so many folks tell us,
Wanamaker advertising is as
interesting as the other parts of
the paper, it is because the creed
in advertising Of the Founder of
the Wanamaker business is to
"say exactly Uhat the Store is
and Uhat it does"
And the Store is interesting.
The object of a Wanamakel
Advertisement is to present to g
busy public whatever is the
shortest, clearest, truest, newest
statement concerning Wana
maker goods.
Standards for Wanamaker ad
vertising are as severe as thos,
by which the goods themselve'
are measured.
If the goods that are adver

Not only must not our mer-
chandise fool the public; our adj
vertisements must not fool them,
either.

are never allowed to run out Of
truth, any more than the Store
is allowed to run out Of good
goods.
Therefore, long as they are

week, throw into the waste
basket at least one circular that
piteously besought you on it's
outside wrapping not to throw it
in the waste-basket like the
others?"
But never was Wanamaker
advertising read by more people
than today.
Why?
They tell us they can't keep
from reading it.
But, again, aohy can't they?
Two simple little reasons:
First, it's because they are
sincerely interested in the Wana-
maker Store.
They feel that probably some
things there that they are likely
to want.
And anyway, they are proud
Of the great Store that is known
all over the world.
Second, it's because they feel
that the Wanamaker Store is
sincerely interested in them; not
merely as potential customers,
but as human beings.

"People Always Do"
Read Wanamaker
Advertising

Always did read it, and if they
ever stop reading it, we wish
they would tell us so, and why!
Meanwhile, it's marvellous the
way they let us know they read
it.
Never once has it been neces-
sary for us to lean upon Widow
Jones new COW for assistance.
That was a device used by a
certain frivolous high school
girl, who more than suspected
that her overworked and harried
teacher SKINNED lightly, rather
than thoroughly, through the
monthly abstracts of current
events which she required each
pupil to prepare.
So, either as a test or as a
tease" this particular pupil
was wont to insert in the middle
of some lengthy and laborious
paragraph in her theme, re-
marks of some such irrelevant
character as:
"I am writing this at my
window by moonlight, and
Widow Jones new cow is
just coming up the road,
dressed in my best pink silk
frock."
That girl said she was grad
uated safely from school, with
out the vagaries of Widow Jones
cow having once been dragged
into view; but we are not sure
that the joke was entirely on the
teacher.
Teachers don't always tell all
they know. Maybe that one is
going about to this very day,
telling the same story in her own
way.
Yet, how frequently the ad-
vertising in the present day
seems to be driven to essay agon-
lied stunts" Of the Jones-cow
order, to attract attention! Or
even, at times, to the resort OF
deep-laid camouhage to distract
the readers attention, as far
down the column as possible
from the deadly fact that it Il

FOOD EXPORTS OF
US. AT HIGH MARK
Western Europe Supply Base
Transferred to This COun-
try Is Reason.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Exports of ag-
the largest total volume in the coun-
try's history-exceeded those of 1920
nearly 1000, 900 tons and were almost
twice as large as the prewar volume
tonight by the Commerce Department.
In money value, the department said,
the country received only about two
thirds as much for the total of exports
in 1921 as for those of 1920, although
Europe paid twice as much as she did
in 1913.
During the last year agricultural ex-
ports were more than 10000, 900 tons.
for which $4,000, ,000,00 was received,
in contrast to 16.500.00O tons, worth
81, ,000, coo, 900, in 1920. and 10500O0O
tons, valued at $1,000, 100000, in 1913.
Grain was the principal agricultural
commodity exported in 1921, its total
amounting to 100000 tons, in con-
trast to 100000 tons in 1920 and
10000 in 1913.
THE cause of our enormous increase
in food exports since 1873" the depart
ment said, docs not lie so much in de-
cres sed production in western and
central Europe-for the area Is rapidly
recovering its normal production. The
major cause of our increased market
abroad Is the total failure OF Russia as
food export country. Russia formerly
exported 100000 to 100000 tons OF
food. all of which has ceased, and thus
the food base for western Europe is
transferred to the United States. The
economic degeneration of Russia has
gone to such depths that a recovery of
her agriculture to a. consequential ex-
port basis is extremely unlikely for
number of years"
