trade at home.
Under present day conditions any
wide awake storekeeper almost any-
where can offer his partons IdentlcaP
goods at idengical prices. Through
newspapeT advertising he can Inform
his townspeople and get trade that
otherwise might go to other markets.
Present day American prosperity
has been produced by paying, the
worker high wages and through ad-
vertising inducing him both to pro-
duce more and buy more. In this re-
spect America is ahead of the world
half and will stay there.
While business in other countries
has lagged or gone to chaotic condi-
tions abroad since the war, In Ameri-
ca we! have gone forward to greater
achievement and new high records. I
sincerely believe the fuller develop-
ment and use of enormously larger
volume of newspaper advertising hw
played an important part in the re-
sult.
