The Daily Alaska Empire Presents-— SHORT TALKS ON ADVERTISING (FIFTH SERIES) Prepared by the Bureau of Research and Education, Advertising Federation of Ameriea Magic in the Kitchen Num ber 15 From strange places, shrouded in Oriental mystery, come fantastic stories about per- formances of Hindu Fakirs, who cast spells over their audiences by such astonishing feats as walking barefooted on burning coals, or causing small boys to climb up ropes hang- ing in mid-air. In the remote regions where these tricks of magic are performed, the in- habitants know nothing of electricity, plumb- ing, or fast transportation. These same spellbound audiences of the Hindu Fakirs would be equally dumbfounded if they could witness the modern magic per- formed as a matter of daily routine in the kitchens of American homes. You could amaze them by a simple demonstration of an automatic electric roaster. You would put the meat in a little metal box without fire any- where near it, turn a button, and go off to a movie. Hours later, you would take out a perfectly done roast. No Hindu magic can beat that. The average American kitchen is full of equipment that would be magic to primitive people. The electric light itself is a major wonder, and the handsome porcelain sink, with its unlimited quantities of hot and cold water constantly on tap, is hardly less. Yet four-fifths of all the homes in this country are equipped with one or both of these facilities. Your mechanical 'reirigerator would fairly hypnotize a savage from the tropics. Imagine his astonishment at the magic box which is always cold inside, and even manu- factures little cubes of ice. How many house- holders really know how it works? Most of us haven’t the slightest idea. We take such things for granted, and would be very much put out if our refrigerator did not give per- fect service. Kitchen magic has lifted many burdens from the modern housewife. Washday, for instance, is a lot different from what is used to be. Nearly all homes have washing ma- chines now, and almost half of them are run by electricity. Many have electric wringers too. Ninety-eight percent of all homes wired for electricity have electric irons. The newer ones are automatic, keeping the iron at just the heat you want. Many other of your magic household ap- pliances are labor savers and comfort makers. The ingenious coffee percolator, the tricky orange juicer and meat chopper, the indis- pensable vacuum cleaner, and the handy automatic bread toaster. New helpful de- vices are put on the market every year. What causes all this? These things do not just happen. The reason is simply that Amer- ican industry is so constituted that it thrives on new inventions. And the reason why in- dustry thrives on new inventions is that the American public quickly adopts anything useful and desirable, if it is well advertised. Only through advertising can new products readily be introduced to the public. Large demand is necessary before house- hold appliances can be produced at low cost, and consumers cannot demand something they do not know about. That is why adver- tising is so important to progress. Advertis- ing is working for us now, bringing more magic to our homes and more happiness to our lives.
