Two crippled soldiers being taught telegraphy in one of the
reconstruction hospitals maintained by the government.
“We don’t want charity; give us a
chance!"
From every reconstruction hospital
In the country comes this insistent
plea from thousands of wounded sol
diers. Although shattered in body, the
•pint that sustained them at Chateau
Thierry, Argonne and Metz remains
*n broken.
They do not want something for
nothing; they are willing to work for
*ll they get.
The Government has inaugurated re
construction institutions at various
points throughout the country where
the blind, the armless and legless are
taught useful trades and professions.
While the soldier and sailor is un
dergoing vocational training, he is sup
ported by the Government. Should he
have dependents, they also receive aid.
Five possible steps follow a wound
ed soldier’s decision to take the vo
cational training course. They are:
decision by the disabled man as to
his course of training; the training it
self, which is to fit him for a definite
occupation; trial employment in that
occupation; placement after trial in
a definite job, and follow-up work to
safeguard his interests.
Within the next few months it is
expected that several thousand dis
abled soldiers will have sufficiently
recovered from their wounds to take
the Government’s vocational training
course. Industrial schools and colleges
throughout the country are being util
ized so that most of the men are being
trained close to their homes.

ATLANTA, April 17.—Organizations

giving the names and addresses of all

time from March 15 to May 15 was
granted by the commissioner of in

returns.
"All employers of labor, whether in
large or small numbers, are required
io make these returns,’ said Collector
Blalock. “Organizations, such as
corporations, companies, partnerships,
etc., are required to file returns show

—about periodical advertising:
Have You Really Seriously Considered
and Appreciated this Business Force?
By periodical advertising, we refer to the use of space in magazines, newspapers or farm papers,
presenting in that space, by means of words and pictures, the reasons why your product or products
should be bought by readers of the publication selected to carry your message.
In asking you whether you have really seriously considered
and appreciated this business force, we have in mind the
thousands upon thousands of manufacturers who arc daily
increasing their business by this method to a degree greater
in magnitude and at a cost less in proportional expense than
through any other possible medium.
We have in mind that practically every big and progressive
business institution in the United States is a periodical
advertiser.
We have in mind that the “little fellows” of a few years
back, who today are fast becoming predominant and pre
eminent in their field, arc no longer little because they did
consider and appreciate periodical advertising.
Why should these things be ?
The buyer of any product selects the brand he or she knows
best or thinks to be best at the price he or she is willing to
pay. .
It is therefore obvious that the task presented to the manu
facturer in order to produce the greatest number of sales is
one of creating such an impression in the minds of the great
est possible number of ultimate consumers.
The function of advertising is the accomplishment of that
task, whether it be word of mouth advertising from con
sumer, to consumer; booklets, folders, circular letters, etc.;
dealer literature; propaganda through salesmen or period
ical advertising direct to the consumer. All are forms of
advertising. All are good. All should be used.
The point we want to make is that periodical advertising
should not be overlooked, because it is the most inexpensive
the most effective-—and the surest way to insure the
greatest possible results from all forms of advertising used
as well as from itself.
It is the most inexpensive because it enables you to talk to
more people at a less cost than any other method of publicity.
This is easily proved. Even suppose you send out 10,000
circulars under ic postage. The cost in postage alone would
be SIOO.

Aja result of a fistic encounter on
the street in front of the Windsor
Through periodical advertising you can reach 10,000 people
with an advertisement the size of aletterhead (I
in almost any periodical for less than SSO. As a matter of
fact, in many newspapers the cost would be less than S2O
on contract.
Consider that fact seriously. You will appreciate it if you
do. You will appreciate it because it is logical; because it is
sound business judgment to buy products, of equivalent
value at the lowest possible price.
Again, when you appeal to the ultimate consumer through
periodical advertising, your message is actually being paid
for by the reader. The reader, of his own free will, buys the
publication containing your message. Buystit for only one
purpose—to read, and to enjoy and profit by reading.
That’s the attitude of mind of the consumers when they
read tour message and consider, through what other
channel can you reach your ultimate consumers when they
are in as receptive a mood.
Again, a periodical is read by several people other than' the
buyer. Statistics indicate that at least three individuals will
read a publication before it is destroyed.
Again—when the public reads an advertising message in a
publication he or she has been educated to appreciate that
the story is true or it would not have been accepted for
publication by the periodical.
Sir, these are but a few of the most pertinent facts why
periodical advertising wields such a tremendous business
force. There are many other reasons; reasons peculiar to
your particular business and it is the opportunity to explain
fully that prompts this advertisement of advertising.
There is no “canned” plan of successful advertising. Your
problems are different from those of other manufacturers
and what you should do can only be decided by study and
investigation.
The institutions whose names arc signed below know adver
tising—all forms of it. And as your doctor is to your health
—as your lawyer is to your legal problems—so is the in
stitution of recognized and accredited advertising counselors
