American advertising has built up
Ia climate of opinion with fear the
dominant note:
Fear that you will fall behind in
the display Of ostentatious personal
expenditure fear of this. fear
of that, fear Of everything

will sadly respond TOO true" And
it need not be This literal epidemic

lively recent growth, Time was
when accent the positive. shun the
negative was almost a cardinal pre-
cept of advertising And with good
reason.
A classic analysis holds that hui
man behavior in society is baS-
ically motivated by A desire for
for new experience: a desire Tor
security economic. emotional, and
physical desire for sympathy
and understanding from others, and
a desire to be al least thought well

it is possible to play upon fears
that they will not be fulfilled-un-
