Remember the Congress

The rapidly changing habits
Of the American people is an
important reason for an in
crease Of advertising volume
of approximately 1919 each
year By the nations retailers.
For1xample so million Am
ericaris hunt or fish, or take
part in both sports. These
hunters and fishermen spend
$4- billion on the two sports
annually.
Ten years ago only 20-mil-
lion Americans were hunting
and fishing and their expen-
ditures were less than half of
what it is today.
Thus, in one decade, one
type Of market has more than
doubled. In other areas Of rec
reation, such as boating and
water-skiing the market has
increased by ten-fold.
The official of one gasoline
company estimates that vaca-
ton travel is consuming twice
as much money as it did in
1850. One automobile fuel
company is building its entire
national campaign on an ap-
peal to vacation travellers.
Throughout the United
States in 1861, the traditional
summer slump almost disap-
peared in the volume of news
paper advertising. Publishers
generally traced the increased
advertising to efforts of retail
ers to reach the booming va
cation market.
Spending for recreation is
only one area where American
