Indeed, the more an article was advertised the cheaper it became, and the more self-interest compelled the manufacturer to keep up the quality. Certain articles of great value to the public could never have been manufactured at all had it not be n that advertising ensured a sale large enough to wari’ant the putting down of the elaborate and very costly plants. Advertising was the cheapest method yet devised by the wit of man for the sale of honest goods. The great commercial discovery of the age was that it did not pay to advertise unless the goods advertised were honest goods, while nothing which was not true was good enough to put into au advertisement. The “Commercial Review” points out that—- “ Undoubtedly the first and most potent advertising force of the present day is the newspaper. Here is a field so vast and so complex that it needs the most careful study of every varying condition to accurately estimate its possibilities, and a whole army of specialists and experts in all branches of service hava come i' ‘ o being.”
