MEN OF VISION AND
MAKING MONEY

Ambitious young men, trying
to get ahead, will be interested
in the story of the 17-year-old
railroad station agent at North
Redwood, MINI. His name?
Richard W. Sears. Dick kept his
eyes open for opportunities, III
nalIy one came.
A shipment of watches arrived
and was refused by the local
dealer to whom they were con
signed. Dick wrote the max
ers aud arranged to sell the
timc-pieces
For customers he wrote rail
road friends up and down the
line. In his letters he did ut
offer something for nothing,
painting golden promises, In
stead, he said he had good
watches which he would sell at a
very small margin of profit. In
describing them he went into
elaborate details, which was the
next best thing to putting the
watches before the eyes of the
prospective buyer.
The watch deal proved so sue
cessful that young Sears quit
his railroad job and went into
the mail order business.
All this was in 1884.
The mail order business start
ed by young Sears is now known
as Sears, Roebuck & Co.
Last year, when its sales fell
off heavily, it still pulled through
with $178,0OO,OO0 of orders.
All this was done by mail
among the firms 1000, 00O GUS
toners. Its catalogues, in de
scribing articles, still go into as
minute details as when young
Sears was marketing his first
gold watches.
Isn't it inspiring, to consider
an accomplishment of such
size? Here was a young fell
low, marooned in a small viii
jage, so dull that only two trains
a day went through 1t was
about the last place on earth
that most of US would look for a
big opportunity, And, after
thinking it over, it will be real
3zed that Sears did not find his
opportunity. He created it.
Opportunity is in the individ-
ual. Geographical location has
very little to do with it.
And what Sears did, starting
in his dusty telegraph office, can
be duplicated today by other
young men. provided they have
vision and 'the real stuff" in
them.

and the things that have to be
done on a bigger scale to OBJ
tain money for purchasing adj
vertised wares.
There is . new thought for
you-that advertising is def
rite agency Of production. Most
of Us have been thinking Of it
merely as a medium of sales
manship.
Advertising Is what is max
ing US buy.
Advertising is what is en-
aiding US to buy.
1t creates the demand. And
the demand induces US to work
harder to get THE money to
spend. If all advertising were
abruptly discontinued, the
American standard Of living
would quickly drop to tie levels
of grandpa's day.
Read the ads, They are a
part of the news, telling the init
mate story of the average Amer
leans inner desires. The real
history Of civilization is written
in ads.

Why DO YOU WEAR RUBBER
HEELS? ADVERTISING.

Rubber heels now are worn
-on 60 out of each 100 pairs Of
shoes worn by men, Such is the
estimate going the rounds in the
shoe industry.
1t is not surprising, if you
have noticed how many men
wear rubber heels. But maybe
you remember back only few
years when rubber heels were
unusual
What brought them into pop
ulsrity?
The answer is-Advertising.
Thrce-fourths of the rubber
heels sold are for mems shoes.
This is because most of the ad-
vcrtising has been directed at
men. One of these days some
wise manufacturer Iof rubber
Aeels will notice this. Then he'll
cali in the advertising man and
lis staff of writer's and artists.
Campaigns will follow. And
soon women will be wearing just
as many rubber heels as men,
It's all a matter of advertis-
ing the most powerful force in
.the sale of goods. The ideal
combination is advertising,
(which reaches consumers brains
Through their eyes, and per
@sonal craftsmanship which
reaches less wildly through the
ears.
Our present standard of liv-
sing is largely the creation Of adj
yertising. Advertising creates
he demand, makes people want
The thing advertised. When
the lure becomes powerful
enough they hustle about and
yet the money to obtain what
@yhey want
they want.
Advertising thus spurs sales.
It also stimulates production
