4HE PUBLIC nature o f advertising bene­
fits everyone it touches. I t benefits the
public by describing exactly the products that are offered. I t
benefits employees, because the advertiser must be more fair
and just than the employer who has no obligation to the public.
These benefits o f advertising are quite apart from the obvious
benefits which advertising confers— the lower prices, the higher
quality, the better service that go with advertised goods and firms.
