"It's TRUTH, Sir-"
The Wise Counsellor declares that the man who "sits tight" wait
ing for the depression to leave will more likely than not find him
self holding nothing but the sack when that time comes for he
is doing the very thing to prolong the condition he desires to avert.
No waving of wagic wand is going to bring better times... They
will be had only through redoubled effort by thte majority of the
people. Economy is necessary. But an economy program which
includes curtailing of the greatest force in merchandising AD
VERTISING is certain to defeat the purpose of such a program.
Advertising is more necessary now than ever before, because
people must be convinced of the value of things before they buy
And again the greatest advertising opporunity in years is
present as probably never before were merchants able to offer
such attractive bargains... Today the purchaser's dollar is worth
$1.79 in the value of the merchandise it will buy, affording
