It is well first of all to know what advertising really is
Advertising has been defined as the act of publicly announcing
a fact, and has further been defined as salesmanship on paper.
While both of these are more or less true, advertising is nothing
but the giving of business news with the purpose of creating a
new want or supplying an existing want. It is readily seen
that there is no limit to the accomplishment of good advertising
as there is no limit to the wants already created or that might
he created. The merchant is a dead one who does not realize
that there are starving millions waiting for him to satisfy their
wants or create for them new wants. This advertising idea
to create new wants and satisfy existing wants is no new thing,
as the Egyptians used handbills and posters made of papyrus
3000 years ago. Printing was invented less than 500 years
ago, and the newspapers were then started. Soon afterwards
advertising became associated with printing. The advertising
idea originated over 30 centuries ago. Some present day mer-
chants haven’t got the idea yet, Witli present day opportun-
ities to advertise there is no limit to what one may accomplish
in business lines. The local merchant may easily double his
local business. lie has through the local paper a wonderfully
cheap way to gain publicity. There is no newspaper read
like the local paper, especially by tlie women, and the women
do ovei 90 per cent of the trading.
