The knotty financial prob

basis Of the proposed half

potential purchasers have APP

ADVERTISING HAS PAID ITS WAY

A DVERTISING being one of the sineWs of news H paper prosperity, perhaps we will be pardoned for citing kind words by Sen Truman of Mo.
 Not all of the Senator's talk to the American Association of Advertising Agencies was honeyed. He was properly critical of misleading advertise nents citing some examples of overlarge outlays (before taxes for advertising by war contractors. But he had this to say in retor to critics of the m stitution of advertising-critics who regard adver Using as simply extra expense 10 be paid by the consumer:
 Such position wholly overlooks the fact that advertising calls the attention of the public to the availability of articles and better mer- chandse and, thereby, stimulates desire on the part of the reader to purchase such merchandise.
 For example when Americans were told ab- put new and improved household devices !. they planned and worked to make the savings nee essary to acquire them This in turn enabled the manufacturers to produce goods in greater quan- titles, thereby both providing work for additional thousands of employees and reducing the cost of production. This brought the cost of the articles within the price range of still other consumers.
 Advertising has induced progress in the use by manufacturers of new materials tools, and new processes of manufacture
 Advertising has paid it's way Its contrib utions have resulted in better living not only by providing greater comfort and luxury. but also by providing better health and greater opportunity for liesure and cultural development.
 There are people in the Government who roud read that and the rest the speach with pro- fit f not for pleasure.
 Incidentally, commend 10 Senator Fankhead author of the pending press subsidy bill Industry has gone 10 bat for the War Bond and other Senator Trumans praise of the way the advertising Government campaigns. and his remark this con- . nection
