The speaker of the evening, Mr, Bert Antliff of the Spea- ker Club, Toronto and secretary of Cema (Canadian Electrical Manufac- turers Association) gave an interest- ing and amusing talk on advertising. Mr. Antliff had enlarged copies of ads taken from papers of 125 years ago which compared! to ads in todays papers. There was certainly a good deal of difference between the stilted and somewhat ugly illustrations of that time and the almost lifelike re- productions of today's publications. But advertising - goes "even farther back than that;"ofl, that we know of is on an Egyptian papyrus, 3000 years old asking for the return of a run- away slave, others have beén found im buried Pompeii Mr. Antliff ot us of some of P. T. Barnum"s kind of advertising, and we think his sense of humor would not be very popular with ad readers of today. In fact to- day's advertising strives for the good will of the people to a very great ex- tent; so much so that products are of- ten taken from the markets for ex- pensive changes in order to satisfy Public Opinion. Other attempts to obtain Public Goodwill are the efforts of manufacturers to cope with the iceboxes, and of truck drivers to stop | -and-help stranded motorists; of hotels to locate lost articles, and other simi- lar acts.
