We are living in an age in which
salesmanship and advertising enter
• more largely Into bustness than it
• has at any time in the past in the
history of this country. There is
scarcely a business or calling today
to which salesmanship and adver-
tising are not most important fac-
tors. In the olden days merchants
were inclined to let business come
to their stores. Very little .was done
to invite it to come. As a conse-
quence purchases were confined to
a few actual necessities. It would be
interesting to note to what degree
the success of modem industry. the
sales of radios, motor cars, ice boxes
.and the like is due to salesmanship
and advertising. These two factors
more than anything else have made
i ossible the volume which sales of
these items have reached. The buy-
ing public has become, as we say,
advertising conscious. That is, it has
tared to depend on advertising for
knowledge of the things it is to buy .
It has become trained to do this.
Let any well known article cease to
be avertised, and a new product
launched with an advertising cam-
palen and the buying public will
quickly turn from the old product
to the new. This has been proven
many times The power of judicious
