Advertisers Urged
To Help Win War
By Stressing Victory
Commerce Specialist
Tells Firms to Continue
PubIicizine Products

Advertisers can help win the war
by continually reminding the public
of what we are fighting for and
why we must win" Corrie Cloyes,
Commerce Department business spe-
cialist, points out in an article in
Domestic Commerce on What
Should You Spend on Advertising?"
The big question is--what do you
want advertising to do for you?" the
article said History shows that
companies with vision and courage
have taken the long view. They set
aside what seemed at first like pretty
stiff budgets. And they captured
the markets they sought.
But far more important than
how much to spend at this critical
time is why you should spend ad-
vertising dollars We are at war.
We've got to win this war or there
will be no business as we know it..
Ways to Help Suggested.
Advertisers can help win the war.
Help by squirting the people on the
home front to help Help by in
forming them of what they can do,
what they must not do, how to pro-
long the life of articles, how to
save.
AT the same time, advertisers can
continue to build good will and keep
their brand names before the pub
lie. Whether they have any prod
ucts to sell or not, they can be slim
ulatlng demand for them right
now. And a stimulated demand will
be the current that will set the pro-
iuctive wheels whirring on consumer
goods when the need for war goods
is over
Advertising Urged.
Business must have customers
Not just a few of the big fellows
but all the medium -sized and
small-sized companies that 60 to
make up our free enterprise sys-
tenn. All must share in post war
era of consumer demand such as
this country has never seen
1T is none too soon to begin
thinking of these customers of to-
morrow. 1t is none too soon to set
them thinking of your company,
your brand name
The only logical way to Go this
is to advertise. Advertise as much
and as often as you judge is neces-
sary to do your share in winning
the war and in winning the place
you deserve in peacetime. Advertise
all through the war and on into
the peace"

Meat Rationing Held
Possible, Not Certain,
By WPB Foods Group
Low-Production Areas
Face Shortages During
Slack Times, However
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
Anticipating recurrent shortages
of meats in production areas
throughout the war, the War Pro-
duction Boards Foods Requirements
Committee was studying today the
problem of distributing available
supplies equitably among all regions
and at all seasons,
The committee, headed by Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wickard, consid-
cred several proposals, including
consumer rationing, but reached no
conclusion, a spokesman said.
Informed officials said the COM
mittee believed that supplies OF
meats available for civilians would
be above the 1931-1940 annual av-
erage of consumption, but consid-
erably below the demand. Purchas-
ing power flowing from the war
program has created a demand for
meats far in excess of past records
See Control Indicated.
The committee was said to fear
that unless the Government took
steps to control consumption, areas
distant from the hog and cattle
producing areas of the Middle and
Far West would not get their shares.
To assure all areas their proper
allotments. it may become, neces-
sary, a spokesman said, to institute
either consumer rationing or sys-
tenn of apportioning supplies to vari-
Gus regions and marketing areas.
The committee itself does not
have the authority to ration con-
sumers, that being a function of
the Office of Price Administration.
The committee could, however,
recommend such action to the OPA.
Rationing But One Method.
The spokesman said the commit
tee merely had discussed consumer
rationing as one method of dealing
with the problem, and emphasized
that it should not be assumed that
such method would be recon-
mended.
The distribution problem is ag-
gravated, the spokesman said, by
the fact that livestock supplies move
to market irregularly, thus Great
ing huge stocks of meats at some
periods and small supplies at other
times. Unless control measures are
adopted, it is possible, the spokes-
man said, that consumers, with
their extra buying power, would
buy too heavily in the flush slaugh-
ter seasons and thereby create
severe shortages at slack times.

Mr.. Elgin said all who used 1941
