\ I WHY ADVERTISE ? $
ft
J. "I have done business for thirty yenrs without advertising ; why
5 should I start now ? asks a business innu. In the opinion of C. R. Lipp-
* man , advertising manager of the Genuine Badger State company , this is n
Ij very natural question for the founder or manager who lias built up a
jj profitable business without advertising ,
But , Says Mr. Lippman , time and methods are changing anil the sue-
P censful hvsiness man is changing his tactict accordingly. There was a
x time wheu few commercial travelers used the railroad. Nownihys who
J would not use it ?
* Tliere was a time when the telegraph and the the telephone were cou
rt sidered toys , and used only by the shrewdest business men , says the
S Fourth Estate in an editorial recently. Advertising is an evolution like
Q these inventions. I4ike them it increases speed , ease and economy of coma -
a tnunicatioti.
( t It utilizes the overgrowing "reading habit" of the public. Fifty years
Q ago there were only 2,000 newspapers and periodicals in this country.
N * Today there are 25,000. Today people read more and more people read.
5 The printed word rules the land.
Q And how much we owe the printed page , from the "First Reader" of
ft our spoiling days to this morning's paper ! What we learn from personal
ftX observation and conversation is only a drop compared w h the ocean of
ftI information obtained from reading , f +
I The fundamental effect of the "graphic" page on the public mind is 5
well illustraeed by the name of this continent. It was not named after its
Ji discoverer , but without official decree after Amerigo Vespucci , the man
Jift who first showed what it looked like in "blabk and white. "
The reading habit is so deeply rooted that we readily place confidence
in the printed page , if it is at all plausible. We say this country contains
some 80,000,000 people. We never counted them. We read It. We say
that this year's crop is worth $1,400,000,000. We never figured it up. We
read it.
To utilize this general hunger for reading through the channels of ad
vertising is ns natural as utilizing the "concourse" habit of the public by
locating along the mos tfrequent thoroughfares.
