BRISBANE ON ADVERTISING
Pensacola News) !,

A business not worth advertising
should be. advertised for sale. Thus Ar
thur Brisbane pictures the value of publi-
city to the growth of trade.
Brisbane, unfortunately delayed in Mi
ami by illness in his family so that he could
not make stop in Pensacola, is now on his
way to the Pacific coast. He stopped in
Fl Paso, Texas, long enough to note that
The Times of that city carried 40 pages in
its Thanksgiving Day issue. The paper
contained nearly two hundred columns of
advertising.
Such advertising shows the mer-
chants intelligence" says Brisbane. "They
know that the way to get business is to go
out and get it,
just at the present time business is
undergoing a remarkable change in which
advertising is to play very prominent
part. Millions of dollars are being spent
in public works in every part of the coun-
try. It might be said that an entirely new
buying public is being built up. Certainly
none of the unemployed have been buying
during the last two or three years, They
have lost all touch with stores and pro-
ducts.
They now have money, will have more,
and they are going to be watching the
newspapers for advertisements of mer-
chants and for advertisements of manufac-
tufed goods, The merchants and manufac-
turers who properly advertise their goods
are going to reap the harvest. Others
who fail to see the opportunity are going
to fall by the wayside.

LIGHT AND HEALTH

Electric lamps of the future will be
health-giving as well as light-giving. de-
clares an engineering publication, It is
well known that quartz mercury lamps
which radite the beneficial ultraviolet rays
have been used by physicians for some
time. But these have required expert
and careful handling.
Now, it appears, lamps giving off
these healthful rays have been developed
for use in general lighting. thus performing
a double duty. In fact, such lamps are
already available, but so far their use has
been restricted principally to home treat
ment of diseases in which sunlight or its
equivalent is necessary,
When the new lamps are adopted to
general use, as it is believed they eventually
will be. it is expected they will be of i'm
mense benefit, especially to indoor workers
who have little contact with the health
giving rays Of natural sunlight.
