They are liable to start winning

you don't think SO. just take a

Well, they said that I had q 10

We are going to do our best. And

WHAT THE OLD TIMERS WOULD HAVE SAID

The thought frequently comes to many of US,
as we think of the old people we knew rs years
ago. what these folks would have said if they could
have seen conditions as they now. AS they
looked out on their quiet streets, in which their
family horses logged along toilsomely toward their
goals, what would they have said if they could
have seen this motorized age, with people darling
through the streets at railroad speed?
The last quarter of the 18th century developed
wonderful inventions. But IT seems doubtful if
it could be compared with the maryels of the first
quarter Of our century; with its automobiles, its
radios, and its airplanes
The effect of automobiles has been one of the
most far-reachng changes in the history of So
ciety 1t has pulled people out of their stationary
It enables people to have homes in the country and
work in cities and towns. It has saved country
neighborhoods from decay At the same time it
does make many people restless, and little inclined
to settle down and work as the faithful old timers
used to.
These marvels of the goth century have greatly
increased the power of our people, The improved
MONIES snow the umefehce. but peopIe uehaho
more time for sports and pleasures The old
timers might not say they were any better Off
It must be the mission Of the years mme-
diately ahead to give these people who have ac-
quired added power true conception of aims and
purposes. They must be shown that sports and
pleasures alone win not do them much good. They
need to seek knowledge intelligence, and interest
in the good causes of the time. With enlightened
motive added to increased power. then we shall see
rapid advance in social welfare.

ADvERTIsINc.s ECONOMIC EFFECT

Some people who anxious to prove that
social and economic system is all wrong, often
seek to show that advertising is of the wastes
of business. They claim it is not directly produe
tive and that it often persuades people to buy things
that they do not really need.
The effect of advertising on a legitimate bust
is good deal the same as that of labor saving
machinery. A business man might think he saved
expense by emitting the purchase of needed ma
chinery. But he would thereby increase the labor
cost of getting out certain production of goods.
When he puts in the machines, then he can produce
more goods with given amount of labor.
Similarly advertising will enable force of
people to dispose of more goods. That reduces the
charge which the selling force makes on the bust
ness. And it increases the volume of business, SO
that the cost of production distribution per
article is less.
If a store has certain force of clerks and
they are not kept busy, the proprietor might think
of letting some of them go. better way to get
at it would be to increase his advertising He can
then expect to find that the force that had been
waiting around for customers before, is now hav-
ing 20 nustle TO wait on the people that are crown
ing in.
The same force might very likely sell double
the quantity of goods. No more is being paid to
that force, but the charge against any article on
account of that sales force only has to be half as
much as before. Advertising is thus very much
more than paid for by the economies it makes
Progressive business men everywhere arc
finding that advertising is economical, and they
would increase the costs of doing business if they
stopped using it.
