A STORY OF
PUBLIC SERVICE
Some people believe that advertising 1 merely takes
business away from one man and hands it to his competitor.
They think that it everybody stopped advertising, business
would go on just the same, and things would be cheaper.
It sounds plausible. But it is not true.
Advertising is, of course, much used as a competitive
we-pon and a very powerful one, Any method of selling-
ad vertMing, show, windows, clerks; traveling men—gets
business that without the selling effort would have gone to
some other firm. Most of us believe that competition is a
good thing. It keeps down prices. It keeps up quality. It
makes business men more eager to give the. publi, good ser
vice. Any economical method of competition ought therefore
to be regarded as of benefit to the public. And the economy
of advertising purely as a competitive method has been so
clearly demonstrated in many great industries over a period
of years, that it need not be discussed here.
The main question, however, is: What does advertis
ing do besides stimulate competition?
As a matter of fact, its chief use lies entireiy beyond.
It creates new markets, new demand, new desires. It makes
possible new products, new ways of doing things, a better ,
national life- 1
Creating Human Activity
Advertising is like the railroad, the trolley, the tele- -,
phone, the newspaper the,school--.a .creator. aLhuauur«act».

quicker dissemination, of information;. IfcbfiiiKsrNVitl^i’j ourd

and to work a little harder in orker to.got them. It fs, like i
the rifle that the modem Tom Sawyer Saw in the window;^
He had intended to loaf all summer, bur, he wapttsd that
rifle. In order to get it he had io have money. To get mon

True Public Service s
If we believe in a constantly advancing civilization, if
we believe that people ought to keep on trying to live /little
better and have a little wore cotnfo t, a'Jittle more conven
ience and a little more ambition—,if our philosophy includes
these,tents, then we must believe that whatever - shows-peo
ple the way and rouses their ambition to possess—and to pro-:
duce Jn order tp possess—is a public service. . It is upon .that
basis that we declare advertising to be not primarily- a weap
on of competition, but primarily; a' means of constructive
public service. . A
