Here's the reason for

The Rice Thresher
... as told in a recent story
by Bruce Barton
H "The account of Joseph in the Old Testament tells how he
§j left his country under difficulties, came into a strange land and
H rose, through his diligence, to become the principal person in
Jj the' state, second only to the King. The Biblical narrative brings
j us up to the climax of his career and then hands us an awful
M jolt. Without any words of preparation or explanation, it says
H bluntly:
| AND THE KING DIES, AND THERE AROSE A NEW
| KING IN EGYPT WHICH KNEW NOT JOSEPH.
|j "I submit this as one of the most staggering lines which was
P ever written in a business biography.
§§ "Here was a man so famous that everybody knew him, and
j§ presto, a few people die, and a few new (ones are born,
g and nobody knows him. The tide of human life has moved on;
H all the advertising that the name of "Joseph" had enjoyed in
H one generation is futile and of no avail because that generation
j has gone."
f§ Mr. Barton concludes:
§§ "So the first very simple thing that I would say to you is that
M the business of advertising is a very constant business, that the
g fact that you told your story yesterday should not lead you
j into the delusion of supposing that you have ever told it.
§ "Cultivating good-will is a day-by-day and hour-by-hour busi-
j ness. Every day and every hour the 'King' dies and there
arises a new 'King' who knows not Joseph."
