In th** Things We Have Always Known The recent business condition has brought to the forefront of thought many fundamental con siderations that have alawys been known but have been damned with faint praise. important thing it was. And wc began to inquire where it came from in the first place, and how it might be restored. Human nature in the mass is very much like huhian nature in the individual, One of its domi nant characteristics has been sum med up in the observation, “You never miss the water till the well runs dry." We never appreciate fundamental things until -wc have- occasion to do without them. 3, This observation has a special application to the Demand of tho public for the products of Indus try. While the demand 'was at high tide and everybody was busy ' trying to supply that Demand at a profit no one, seemingly, gave a thought to where the Demand came from, how long it slight last, or what wopld happen if it should fail. We merely assumed the per manent existence of tiie Demand, just as we assume.the presence of water, air, and fire. We always knew : everybody knew—that Desire for things made a Demand for them in the market. That people desired things we ac cepted as an elemental fact. But when we discovered that Desire fluctuated we began to appreciate that Desire, as we know it, is a thing created by the art of man. It is a highly specialized form of an elemental need—just as* a Louis XYI chair is made out of a tree. But a^day came when Demand began to subside, and in many in dustries it came almost to a full stop. And then we missed it, and realized, as never before, what an This discovery led to another equally important discovery that the means of refining and special izing that Desire was Advertising. The gigantic work that has been accomplished by modern advertis ing now stands out in bold relief. It has been the means by which the refinements of civilization have been made known and made desirable, and this desire has been made into Demand. It is a simple fact that a million profitable forms of industria 1 activity owe their very existence to, the fact that Advertising upheld the stand ards of living which in turn pro vided the demand for their pro ducts.

This prize was yarded t<j You Have A Real Interest In This Big' Investment > ^■VHE telephone organization in Georgia has entered upon a tILbig task in which the public has more than a casual interest. This is to be a year of construction,and expansion in an effort to care for the accumulated demand for service and provide for the needs of the future. During the five year period, including the year 1923, our plans require an expenditure of $12,724,000 in Georgia. Practically all of this is new money which must be secured from investors. There is no difference in interest between the public and our stockholders. If wo serve our stockholders wisely and efficiently, r/e shall render the largest benefit to the public. We must give the best and broadest sendee possible. We must provide a service which will not only keep pace with the growth of the State, but also with the constantly increasing use of the tele phone. We must have rates low enough to. enable every persqn ,yrho ought to have a telephone to have one and at the same time we must earn enough to attract capital to take care of this growth. ( This is what your telephone organization is tpying to dq. : ,, iMI , But our success depends upon the measure of the good will of the community we can get and hold. There is no mystery about the telephone business; there is noth ing peculiar about telephone people. Telephone workers are your neighbors and friends, no different from other people with whom you come in daily contact. We want you to know us better and to be familiar with evefjr feature of our business. j | Ask us about the things that confuse you; visit our central of fices and see what we are doing to serve you.
