|Modesty Once Was Virtue But Now It's Criminal
For Any One To Hide His Light Under A Bushel
There's so much good in modern advertising that be
condemned because improper BY unscrupulous people

put out by an advertising expert
in which it was pointed out:
An automobile owner who
wishes to. dispose of his car
places a small ad in a newspaper
at a cost of say So. The adver-
tisement finds a purchaser for
him Immediately. Without the
advertisement, he would have
been compelled to spend days and
days of valuable time soliciting
a buyer. He might have been
compelled to resort to door-to-
door canvass. This example of
how wasteful business would be-
without advertising applies to al
most any business transaction.
Advertising has idealized even
the most common occupation. 1t
has touched it with the magic
wand of beauty and romance for
the sole purpose of making its
products more desirable to the
purchaser and has, therefore,
increased production. And,
Judge Ward Notwithstanding, it
has increased the merits of pro-.
ducts sometimes as much as a
thousand fold without adding
any appreciable amount to their
cost.
There was a time when mod
esty was considered a great vir-
tue but today we consider it a
crime for anyone to hide his light
under bushel and to withhold
from an eager, wide-awake
world anything that might con-
tribute to mans education.
The patent medicine advertise
ment is losing ground with bet
ter informed public and the time
is near when even the profess
sionals will not regard profess
sional and artistic advertising as
unethical. All the great classics
and all the scientific works and
all the art that has ever been
created are nothing more than
a super.advertisement of their
creator.
Feudalism would never have
countenanced modern advertis-
ing which is the weapon with
which the common man may
fight his way to any heighth
whether he has a pedigree or
not.

ticus Rabba, Oh. 30. Thus
covering the head in prayer was
at once at privilege, and a mark
that the respect the Jew had for
his God, was the reverence of a
free man.
The custom of covering the
head was Babylonian rather than
Palestinian, and its loyal pre-
valance among the Persians must
have helped convert what had
been a merely personal act in
piety, into a general rule for all
Jews. In the middle ages the
custom was first noticeable in
Spain, in the 18th century. The
custom of covering the head dur
ing prayers was not usual with
Jews of France. Mainonides fol
lowed the example of R. Huna,
and said that no students of the
Torah should go bareheaded.
(Hilchos Deoth V-6, More Ne
buchim iii, 52).

ed Jewish women to cover their

have water to drink but he can
drown in too much of it.
Just as a safety valve is more
than an appendage of steam
engine so is advertising more
than a mere auxiliary to modern
business. Bargain sales and the
distribution of merchandise are
not the sole nor the main object
of advertising. 1t forms the very
life blood that keeps the CONNER
cial body alive and feeds it for
further growth.
Advertising creates new de-
sires and new wants, thus rails
ing the standard of living con-
stantly, for what man wants
man creates. 1t does not require
an unusually intelligent observer
to see the difference between gen.
eral social and economic condi-
tions in countries where adver-
tising has not been developed,
as in the United States of Amer
lea.
People in countries where adj
vertising plays but a little part
are Just as intelligent and as
well, if not better, educated, as
the average A m rican but
they're still satisfied to live an
houses without a bathroom.
1t is true the American ad-
vertiser has no respect for any
traditional sentimentality and
everything is grist that comes
to his mill. He has ever horri-
fed his European friends by
making use of classical and ven
Grated art works to attract at
tention to some breakfast food.
And much of the art understand
ing we possess today we have alb
sorbed thru our stomachs. If
our sense for, the artistic is not
so highly developed, we have a
greater and more general ap-
probation of the beautiful than
the older nations which have
kings and queens to set the fash
ions for few select aristocrats.
The advertising king of Ameri-
ca wants even the most common
of the masses to buy his most
exclusive products.
The circle of advertising is
ever widening. Starting with
the town crier, it has Travelled the
path of the printed word for
The Denver Jewish news., 1923-08-02

many years until now it again
strikes new arc in brOadcasting
the spoken word around the
globe.
Advertising is the force that
has builded our cities and fac
tories, that turns the wheels of
industry. And, as we are lack
ing that hereditary incentive of
European hatred, it was the on
ly reliable force upon which we
could depend in winning the late
war. Someone has even declar-
ed that if the nations of the
world would advertise their
grievances instead of resorting
to secret diplamacy all future
vars might be avoided. -
It has been said the duplica-
ion of advertising is a waste
IS duplicated advertisements do
aot produce any new or addition
al purchasers, but can only di-
vert trade from one place to an
other. We might as well say
two individuals exerting them
selves in the same direction are
wasteful and that one alone
might accomplish the same re-
suit. The very fact that adver-
tising stimulates competition
brings about even greater i'm
provements and betterments in
all puA quits of commerce, indus
try or ducation wherever it is
applied.
Adver..s.ng must appeal eth
er to the mentality or the senses.
1t must be dI.ational or artistic
and the asser.Aln of one of the
foremost merchants of our city
that the leading artists of the
country are those who are en-
ployed in painting bill boards, is
not entirely barren of truth.
The future of our artists
would be discouraging indeed
but for the opportunity the ad-
vertising and commercial fields
offer them to make a living. Ad-
vertising is just as important in
the distribution of commodities
as is transportation and the add
ed cost is so small as to be in
consequential, when we consider
the service it renders the pur-
chaser.
An illustration of this was

though it afterwards became a

A UTOCRACIES are founded
Ia on secretiveness. They
4 n live on secret diplomacy
and flourish under oppressive
censorship. The cornerstone of
true Democracy is unrestrained
publicity with the result that the
most successful republic is also
the birthplace of modern adver-
tising.
Modern advertising was one
of the potent factors which has
builded and welded into unity our
states. It is the tie that has
bound together our social fabric.
This sweeping statement is
contradicted by the assertion of
Henry G. Ward, a judge of the
United States circuit court of ap-
peals, who says in a recent opin-
ion:
Advertising is method of
selling goods without increasing
their merits, increasing their
cost"
This assertion, if true, is mis-
leading, as it implies advertising
is waste. If the wise judge
would have considered for a mo-
ment that the very case in which
he was ruling had to be adver-
tised certain number of times
before it could come to trial, and
if he had stopped to consider
that the judiciary lays partic-
ular stress upon the proper pub
lication of so-called illegal
notices" as prescribed by law, he
might have come to a different
conclusion.
The economic value of adver-
tising is a question of doubt in
the minds of many otherwise in
telligent people, who see in it on
" the many misuses of fake pro-
motion and stock selling schemes
which cannot be condemned too
strongly. But the hypocritical
advantages taken of advertising
are no greater than those taken
of religion or of art or of any
other useful force at our COM
mand.

whether there really had been visi-
