The food we eat, the clothes we wear, the locality in which we live, our choice in these necessities of life, as well as in the luxuries and pleasures, is made largely through the educational influence of Advertising. Advertising is making its force felt sharply in our lives today; we cannot lightly thrust it aside; it must be reckoned with, It is telling you and me of things we ought to know. It is pointing paths to profit and economy, to pleasure and entertain- ment. It is the guiding hand that directs the purchase; it safeguards the consumer in his choice, for is not the Advertisement the signed promise of the Advertiser, his cove- nant with the public offering a certain value in service or in goods? Advertising has simplified the problem of demand and supply; you have something to sell, thousands want to buy Advertising brings the customer to your door by carrying your mes- sage to his home. pits ye And in the larger activities wherein the communities are affected rather than the individual, the wondrous value of Advertising has been shown. Cities have sprung to life, distances have been bridged by the upbuilding of modern transportation facili- ties. The suffrage of nations has been swayed, public opinion has been molded, infant industries have been given greater magnitude, the desert has been made to blossom with the necessities of life Advertising has been referred to as “Salesmanship dressed in Seven-League Boots.” Truly, it has proved itself capable of accomplishing many tasks. We read of the Peru- vian government recently placing contracts for advertising in New York, which it is hoped will pave the way for a $33,000,000.00 loan that government expects to issue in the near future In San Francisco it was necessary to dispose of the famous Sutro Baths quickly. in order to close up the Sutro estate. Advertisements placed in " “i throughout the country accomplished the desired results. Many other instances, bi and small, in business life might be related ; Oi several publications The same measure of success made possible in these larger activities has attended the smaller ventures in which advertising has played its part;: by judicious use and strict adherence to truth in statement backed up by prompt delivery of goods or sen ice, small enterprises in Seattle and throughout the world have grown until today their size and strength is responsible for the commercial recognition of the communities in which they exist Compiled under the direction of the Educational Committee, Seattle Ad Club. viii elt deleted eledaleaae atch et <) le
