u. S. Steel on the Air

u. S. Steel on the Air
TO the Editor Of The Star:
In Lowell Mellett's column, published In The
Star OF the 18th, he implies that the United
States Steel Corporation has an ulterior motive
in its radio advertising.
This attitude of sourness is characteristic Of
many Of his articles, but this one in particular
may be based upon an unsound theory, as your
paper, great advertising medium, should
recognize. His implication is that this great
corporation uses its weekly radio hour to
minimize i'll will on the part of the public
which may grow out of sustained prices which
are allegedly higher than production costs
justify. Mr.. Melletts suspicious attitude in
the matter is based solely on the premise that
the U. 8. Steel does not sell anything to the
public as individuals This may be true, but
likewise it may be said Of Fisher Body, Budd
Manufacturing, Timken Roller Bearings and
numerous other industries that sell nothing to
the public. But the latter understand, II
Mellett does not, that the objective Of such
advertising Is to stimulate interest In the quality
and superiority Of the products 50 advertised.
As an example, the manufacturer OF the train,
the Burlington Zephyr, operating. between
Denver and Chicago, carried extensive adver-
tisements showing attractive pictures Of this
train, not because they hoped to sell such
trains to the public. but to create the interest
Of the latter in the faster speed and comfort
Of such trains as compared with less modern
equipment. Obviously this advertising was an
indirect appeal to other railways to place
am not financially interested in o. 8. Steel
programs and fair play.
