Those who reflect on thq cost of advertising, and wish they could buy consumer goods at a price which did not include that cost, overloock the fact that wýere it niot for advertising the cost would be higher. Advertising hielps create demnand, and at the samne time it tells people where and howý, they can satisfy that demand. Without the demnand, and without: the guid(eposts leading the customer- to the store, production levels would be miuch lower, and unit costs would rise. In, addition, emiploymnent would bo less and thus fewer people would be able to buy the advertised goods even if they wanted them and knew where to get them. Advertising is an essential part of aur current prosperiïty. Withet it we should suffer more than we realize. 0f course there are those who feel it is somehow evil te create demand by advertising". "People wotild be much better off,'* they say, "if their appetite.s vere nat whetted for dryers or colour TV sets or a new hiat or a second car."' These critices of advertising would like to sec everyonie weil fed, lother and warmr, but i beyond thaï, they would mfake it difficuit for tbema to add to the umenities of life. By prohibiting, or even by seriouslyv controlling advertising, they wojuld reduce demnand, euit back production, raise prîices, and make things harder for the aýv. erage family te buy, This wouIld hardly seem to) be a social geod.. In our vie, so long as advertisig is neither false ner mis- leading, it, improves the lot of the average person se mnuch that the slight extra cost of the pr-oduct attributable to adve-tising is hardly Worth considerlng. -The Port Hope Gu;tide U.C.",W.
