In this short time the broom and the washboard have vanished from the housewife's coat of arms, and the comic pictures in which Mary hurls the flatiron at John don't ring true, as they once did. Broom, washboard and flatiron haVfe given way to suction sweeper, electric whshipg machine and electric iron. And Mary doesn’t hurl the iron at John any longer, not simply because it's fastened to a cord, but because she’s taking no chances with it. • 0 What brought about this new and agreeable state of affairs? Well, how' did Mary happen to buy that new iron which has provdd such a boon to herself —and John? She saw it advertised, of course. And the ■ multiplied Marys of today represent a great market created largely through national advertising. No wonder the alert Retailer and the wholesaler have come to hold national advertising in high esteem—for besides making easier for them the sale of goods with long-established markets, quickened their turnover, protecting them against inferior merchandise and benefiting them* Published by the Times-Recorder, in co-operation with ■ o The American Association of Advertising Agencies • If. .Vv v '> s * and closing the polls shall beClieter-- mined by the county committee.

S. Skelton, of Augusta Ga. driving a Ford roadster belonging to the in many other ways, national advertising is constantly creating markets for new merchandise and opening up new chan nels of trade. It is because America reads advertis ing that the new idea today so swiftly supplants the old. Advertising changes deep-rooted habits. Advertising creates new desires. Advertising sets new and better standards. And all this it does with amazing swiftness—for advertising speaks to millions simultaneously. The safety razor, the player piano, massage cream, the glass baking dish, wallboard, fireproof roofing, the talking machine, soap flakes, canned soup one could go on indefinitely extending the list of products which today testify to the ability of national advertising to create .new merchandise demands. There is probably no industry today for which advertising has not blazed new trails. There is no merchant, whole sale or Hetail, the scope of whose busi ness it has not greatly widened- V * * 'But ther main thing which adver tising does for the retailer is to speed up his turnover; that’s what makes him a profit. .

The demand has almost trebled in the past three years. Studebaker now holds a leading place in the high-grade field. Our modern plants and their equipment cost $50,000,000.

Cotton or ordinary wool, or a combination of both, could reduce our price SIOO to $l5O per car, but it would sacrifice Studebaker quality.

We were first to use cord tires as standard equipment. We were the first quantity manufacturers to build bodies of the highest grade. If you want beauty,fine upholstery, rich finish and equip- ment, consider that Studebaker has had more experience in fine coach building than any other motor car maker. Our place no'accident The pedestal place which Studebaker holds in the fine-car field is not the result of accident. It comes from principles as old as this business—the ceaseless and determined ambition to excel. Learn the result of these efforts. Compare detail by detail, part by part, with any car you wish. When you foot the advantages, you will find that they number scores. * * * * These are facts you should know. They are inducing 150,000 per; year to choose Studebaker cars. Some sell at $1,045. Some meet with every requirement in size and power and luxury. But the chassis are all alike, save in size. The same steels, the same standards through out. Every important Studebaker part represents the best we know, * * * People have learned these facts—» hundreds of thousands of them. The demand for Studebakers has almost trebled in three years. It has become overwhelming, even for our facilities. Investigate the reasons. You will find them by the scores.
