LET’S KEEP BUR STANDARDS
In spite of continued depress
ion, the people of the United
States are blessed with the high
est living standard that civiliza
tion has ever known.
We use two-thirds of the
world’s automobiles, half of its
telephones and forty per cent of
its railways. We consume a
third of the world’s coffee, sugar
and electric energy, better than
half of its rubber and silk.
The mechanical labor saving
devices in the homes of Ameri-|
can workers are the envy ofi
even the wealthy people abroad.'
Our personal standards are up.
We shave and bathe once a day
instead of once a week or month.
We have learned to loathe un
clean teeth and unwholesome
breath.
All this had to be sold to us,
says Nation’s Business. We
did not just happen to gravi
tate upward. People don’t do
that. It would be untrue to say
that advertising did all this for
the people of the United States.
But it is entirely true that ad
vertising inspired and stimulated
it.
It is the job of advertising to
quicken the exchange of goods
in the nation’s market places.
To fulfill its mission, advertising
not only tells you about these
goods but tries to excite your
desire for them. It pictures
them as a means toward lighten
ing your burdens, increasing
your leisure, enhancing your
attractiveness, building your
health, protecting your home
and family, putting more satis
faction into your life.
Avertising should bo encour
aged to go on its cheerful, con
structive way, helping to build
the nation to greater economic
strength, maintaining our living
standards through whatever
may come to us in a troubled
world,
