enormouslyjn our day automatic machines that enable one man to do the work pf ten rapidly increase the worlds wealth of goods that is so long as the mach is kept busy to keep the machine going there must be a demand tor its products in case of many articles that we now use daily the public has had to be educated through advertising to the belief that they need these goods eg safety razors fountain pens vacuum cleaners toilet articles etc without advertising it would take generations to find a world market for articles that by means of judicious publicity have been brought into wide demand in a year but by creating a demand for these goods advertising keeps up the productive increase in wealth i e goods w c advertising pays both the producer and the consumer by increasing the demand for a certain article it increases the volume of production and thereby lowers the cost for instance oar manufacturers through adver tising have made countless millions production has been increased so amaz ingly through advertising that they are able to sell cars at prices never before considered possible if cars had to be produced in a small factory the public would have to pay a higher price for them than they do now advertising has reduced the in the local sphere the question the small town merchant asks himself today is not shall i advertise that question hasjongsince been

built up its enormous business through advertising and with the local competition of other live merchants who too are putting their befct foot forward to meet city competition he must if he is to hold his end up and be successful give studious attention to his ad- vertising in the local press it is an essential and highly important feature of his business
