The trend would be toward the
deadly average.
The lifting effect of advertising
which encourages workers 10 do
better job, would be vitiated.
The effect of advertising on in
ternal organization m or a c has
been exceedingly important.
When one of the national oil
companies wanted 10 improve the
cleanliness of rest rooms az filling
stations, it dramatized the high
level to which 1t was aspiring
through advertising.
The effect Of this was 10 induce
employees and affiliated dealers Ia
live up 10 the good words which
had been expressed about them.

To ReUord Merit
Little Room, Left

If products are TO be arbitrarily
graded according 10 rigid and i'll
determined standards. then there
is little room for reward for art
istry, for superior workmanship,
for added and improved ingredi-
entS. and for the cultural process
OF prodding customers TO raise
their sights TO ever higher levels.
A merchant in Washington, ID.
c., recently advertised that stock
ings were deemed OF good grade
according 10 government stand
ards, but that the store itself did
not consider them Of satisfactory
quality. The human process Of
dramatizing products would, IN
effect, be interdictcd by manda-
tory bureaucratic labelling.
Under such a system. when the
housewife met the grocer. they
would both act as robots uttering
standardized bureaucratic humble
tumble.
The INSCRIPTIONS vendor. who
has been in the habit of substitute
ing brands on the lust. as good
argument, would, under the bu-
reaucratic grade labelling have the
governments seal of approval on
his trick of trading down, instead
Of UP
The excellent manufacturer,
who is not satisfied with an so
per cent or a 90 per cent product,
but who is always striving for
something better, would be dis
couraged by a rigid system Of
RECOMMENDATION. which IN effect
would say 10 the mediocre and
inefficient producer: That's good
enough.
And. As the romance and drama
were extracted from products, in
ternal efficiency among employees
would sag.

IDENTIFY BOXES
Another means of helping the
postal authorities in the problem
of increased mail volume, Ban
now said, was for the people in
the rural communities to paint
their names on the mail boxes.
In addition the rural residents
were encouraged to advise their
correspondents of their correct

back room TO handle the distri-
button.
The letter delivery has only
been curtailed to the extent that
the residential areas receive one
delivery a day if the amount of
mail is exceptionally heavy. On
other days they receive their
customary two deliveries. The
business districts have not been
curtailed at any time, Bannow
revealed.
RURAL ROUTES HIT
Rural deliveries which are
twice as large as in the city have
been the most seriously affected
by the war, Bannow disclosed.
The replacement of cars and the
lack of parts for their repair
have aggravated the situation to
such extent, that If relief is not
forthcoming, service may have
to be drastically curtailed, Ban
now stated.
