"That advertising is information." She told, me that she thought advertising in the newspapers is the keystone to modern life and that it would be impossible to live efficiently and well and economically without it. I agreed with her.

CHURCH SERVICE* (Daylight Saving Time) St. Mary's Catholic Chnrcfc A STRANGER IN TOWN The most successful advertisers therefore look upon their advertisements, not as more sales talks about their merchandise or service, lmt rather as business information which the pnbtte shonld have. The best advertisements in the newspaper are those which tell a complete story, which tell it honestly and simply and which keep on telling it. We who are customers read these advertisements and the information they convey gives us the knowledge we need in order to spend our money wisely and well. The first definition of advertising, as you probably know, is to make known. One of the prophets of old, the Bible tells us, stood outside the city's gates and advertised himself. All over America today thousands of merchants stand and advertise themselves -- make themselves known so that we who need may learn and buy, to our advantage quite as much as to theirs. The stranger in town and the oldest inhabitant both look upon advertising to help guide them in buying what they need in their every day life. And because of advertising the stranger can go into a strange elty and no longer be a stranger. The old familiar names, the old familiar packages of products used at home, makes every new community a friendly place, because it is a reeog- [ nized place. • Charlaa B.
