FRIDAY, FEBRU^Y. 26 1915. iRADY COUNTY StlPEFI!« ~ ’ «» NO.42 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». tivity.

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 ey he Went out and painted fences and ran errandaand mo'W- ed lawns. The knowledge that there was a rifle tTvat-Kb,’ could Have if he worked for it made him a producer instead' of a dppenden^. ; . . •, t/ k 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 us your On, next.
