PHILOSOPHY OF ADVERTISING
Chanerlnar Methods an Index
Changing- Business and Social
Condition.
of
The study of advertising seems to have
a perennial charm for the 'American pub
lic. Hardly a month passe but some
magaslne' finds a new and inviting phase
of this modern art to lay before Its read
ers. The solid literature of advertising
la also growing rapidly. It is risky nowa
days to venture upon literary allusions.
A professor of English says that he never
dares to adorn his lectures to his students
with any quotation older than the comic
papers of the previous, fortnight. But no
difficulty Is felt on this score when one
draws on advertising phrases. Only men
tion "fifty-seven varieties," and the ready
laugh follows. Advertising Is the one form
of present-day business for which nobody
ever suggests publicity as a remedy. By
its very nature It muBt avoid the secrecy
and quasl-conridenlal methods in vogue
elsewhere. For this very reason, as Mr.
Frederick Dwlght suggests In the Yale
Review for August a survey of changes In
advet Using methods affords an index of
changing business and social conditions of
the country at large.
The technique of the subject is almost
as extensive as that of scientific agricul
ture. While volumes have been compiled
on the art of writing advertisements, ac
countants have propounded schemes and
schedules to measure the profit and loss
resulting. Commercial schools and col
leges devote courses of study to the sub
ject. Indeed, the capstone of the curricu
lum of a well known business college Is an
elective upon "Window Dressing." "The
Psychology of Advertising" has served as
a door of approach for the empirical study
of the mind of th mob how Its attention
Is caught its interest enlisted, It humor
tickled, It will moved. The economics of
advertising has opened up one of the dis
puted questions of the day whether ad
vertising Is a parasitic industry or whether
it yields a really productive service.
Proverbially, "It pays to advertise." Bui
this Is only the Individualistic view. Per
contra. It Is argued that for society as
whole It costs to advertise.
Perhaps the commonest aspect of adver
tising has to do with Its humorous side.
Nothing Is so current with the public as an
epigram converted Into an advertisement,
unless It be an advertising cartoon which
speaks a language more universal than the
fondest cultivator of Etperanto ever as
pired to. Here, too, there is a reverse side
to the medal. Only recently Governor
Hughes signed a messege punishing ths
dissemination of Improper Intelligence
which sought refuge under the shelter of
trade publicity. But what shall be said of
the Invasion of the privacy of life by using
without permission or pay a photograph
for bruiting abroad the merits of some
proprietary article? Fortunately, th
black-hand" methods of publicity print
ing blacklist and boycotts of antagonistic
firms seam likely to get a black eye In
the courts. Gompers Is still out of Jail, It
Is true, but his methods are at a discount.
The wanton Invasion of the walls of the
subway stations remains as yet unre
pulsed, but wa may hope for better things
when the new lines are built
Mr. Dwlght. In the article referred to,
shows admirably how the study of ad
vertising rants considerable light upon
changes in business and social ethics.
A hundred and fifty years ago "the adver
tising tradesman grovelled." He "hum
bly solicited patronage," and "felt a lively
sense of gratitude for past favors." The
wholesale dealer published a plain unvar
nished tale. The publlo was Informed of
the street and number where It could buy
tallow and hides. But how the middle
of the last oentury a sort of hysteria of
braxen and rhetorical announcements sud
denly flamed Into view. Every circus was
a mastodonlc aggregation of wonders. A
veritable age of wind and hyperbole came
In. Landscape advertising threatened to
turn every natural wonder Into a night
mare. The national ensign was prostituted
to serve the turn of every hawker of pat
ent medicines. The kingdom of patronage
was taken by violence, and an anarchy
of bad taste was let loose. But today this
pandemonium has become much subdued.
The Individual advertisement is commonly
In good taste, both In legend and In Illus
tration. Many are positively beautiful; and
as a wit has truly said, the cereal adver
tisements In the magaslnes are far more
Interesting than the serial stories. It Is
true that there still prevails a lamentable
lack of artlstlo co-ordination of advertise
ments. But this only reflects the lack of
co-ordination so evident In many of the
social arrangements of our day.
It Is curious that with all the thought
which has been devoted to the study of
this matter, the natural sources of the evo
lution of advertising have never been In
vestigated. We may expect that when
work Is done, the origin of advertising

DIAMONDS CUT BABY'S TEETH
Jewel Supposed to Be Glass
Toy of a Jersey
Youna-ster.
the
Having nothing to play with except
8100,000 worth of diamonds, the year old
baby of Stephano Bardogo, a laborer, who
lives at No. 365 Third street, Jersey City,
has been having a hard time lately to
amuse himself.
The youngster had grown tired of its
diamond bowknot brooch. Its diamond
tiara, diamond paved watch and other
playthings that he made no protest at all
last night when three Jersey City police
men took the gems away.
Since June 29, when they were lost on
the Passaic, an Erie ferryboat on the
Twenty-third street line, by somebody who,
through Drelcer St Co., No. 660 Fifth ave
nue, offered a reward of 845,000 for Infor
mation leading to their recovery, most
of the gems have been the toys of the
Bardogo baby.
The baby's relative, who thought the
diamonds were glass, had traded with
their neighbors a couple of diamond rings
for cups of sugar, slices of bacon and
other article of real value.
It waa because Paola Cantanella thinks
the Bardogo baby Is the cutest thing on
earth that the diamonds were Introduced
Into the Bardogo household. Cantanella,
who is a laborer In Port Morris, boards
with the Bardogo. Being a generous
soul, he frequently brings home a toy for
the baby.
Leaving the ferryboat Passaic on June
29, he saw a package lying on a bench.
He picked It up, thinking that, no matter
what wo Inside, It might come In handy.
He opened It on the way home and saw
a lot of Jewelry set with sparkling stones.
Now, Cantanella has been In this country
long enough to know that all that glitters
la not gold. In hts wisdom he diagnosed
the diamonds as pretty pieces of glaxs.
When ha got home he gave the whole
bunch to the baby.
The baby already had a Noah's ark
from the wooden . Inhabitant, of which
most of the paint had been licked off. He
had also a dog eared teddy bear. So It
waa with difficulty that th child's par
ents got him to accept the diamonds. His
mother placed the tiara on th youngster's
head and hla father, tying a piece of blue
ribbon to the diamond paved watch, hung
It about the baby's neck. Then they
handed to him a couple of handfula of
diamond rings and bracelets and told him
to go ahead and have a good time. When
he got sleepy they took the gem away
from him and put them with the Noah'
ark and the teddy bear, so that he could
get them in the morning.
There were more than two hundred dia
monds in the collection. They all looked
so much alike the baby soon grew tired
of what his father and mother called
"the pretty beads." His affections re
turned to the wooden animals from the
ark and the teddy bear and lately it has
been only under protest that he ha dal
lied with the gems.
Realising that even a lot of glass has
Its uses the baby'a parents then began to
trade off some of the larger speolments to
those of their neighbors whose own stooks
of Imitation Jewelry were not so large as
they wished.
Whenever one of the girls In th neigh
borhood had a plcnlo or other social func
tion to attend she van In and borrowed a
pint or two of diamonds. The principal
trouble which the Bardogos had to con
tend with was the chance that either the
baby or one of the household's chickens
would eat some of the playthings.
Mrs. Antonio Loorl. of No. 121 Third
street, who had noticed that, although the
baby's love for the pretty glass was cool
ing, the hens In the neighborhood had be
come fond of trying to peck the gems
from the baby's grasp, borrowed a ring
at which a Plymouth Rock hen had been
pecking for some time. Mrs. Loorl wore
the ring a couple of days, and on Friday
happening to pass the Jewelry shop of
G. B. Davidson, at No. 103 Newark ave
nue, something told her to go In and find
whether the ring was real gold. She said
afterward the thought that the stone In
the ring had any value had never occurred
to her. Handing the ring to the Jeweler,
she asked htm to tell her how much It
was worth.
He carried It to a window, squinted at
It through a microscope, gasped a couple
of times and said:
"Fifteen hundred dollars."
She took the ring away with her, and
Davidson told the Jersey City police about
her visit. Captain Larkins and policemen
Lee and Maxwell went diamond hunting.
They found Mrs. Loorl easily and she led
them to the Bardogos. In describing that
visit Captain Larkins said:
"I never saw to many diamonds before.
They were so bright they hurt my eyes. 1
If anybody had asked me to put a valu'. i
on them I'd have said 11.000,000. We gath
ered 'em In handfuls. Some of them had
rolled under the bed and the baby had
tucked some more under the carpet. We
got 'em all together finally and will hold
them till the owner Identifies them."
