Advertising In War

Many of the industries of the United States nave been utilizing newspaper advertising to contrib Ute Tn a substantial manner to the ENTHUSIASM of the American people for essential war activity and to the INFORMATION of the people about essential war production.
 Among notable examples is a recent page sponsor ed by the steel industry emphasizing the necessity for public support of the scrap metal salvage program upon which so much depends if prevalent shortages are to be overcome. Another example is that of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company asking the people to do little long-disance phoning possible

 Five days of waiting and wondering like that is five weeks,' Clark said in an interview. We just sat, being hurt, we didn't feel like doing anything else. We were running levers and delirious, seeing plat ters of food and hearing people talk to us"

advantage. Not only do they provide news as to their progress in war pro- ductlon, but they are con- ductlng a great education al campaign as well.
 Notable examples are the advertising messages now being published in Se- attle newspapers by Boe- ing and by the Seattle Tac oma Shipbuilding Corpora ton. From a purely selfish standpoint, it could be said that these concerns are do- ing public relations job for their own benefit; but the motive behind these campaigns is a patriotic one.
 They are doing more than that. Through public izing the war effort they are warning our enemies that the American people are aroused, and are doing the job that makes ulti- mate victory a certainty.
 Advertising of this char acter is doing a real service for the country. More con- cerns should follow the ex- ample that has been set for them.
