This industrial nrasite of Com- mercialized Amusement has fasten-d itself with deadly grip upon the eco- nomic life of our nation and is grow- ing at an alarming ratn, producing as it grows many disturbances in our industrial activitios.

Reduced to its simplest ex- planation, advertising is just an invitation to buy. Why advertise? Because that is the only sure way to get and keep business.
