Child of Advertising
By A. E. "Gene ' BOWEN
Editor and Publish*r
A recent news item on the
relationships of the L’nited
States to the European Com-
mon Market
should be en-
couraging to
anyone con-
cerned about
the effici-
ency of the A-
merican e-
conomic sys-
tem.
In gist, the
item indicat-
ed tha* Euro-
pean automobile manufactur-
ers were more afraid of A-
merican competition than vice
versa. In an open market —
even in Europe -- the Ameri-
can product commands great-
er respect than the varigated
"bugs” of other countries.
Of course the American au-
tomobile is more expensive to
buy and operate. But expense
is not the final question in a
buyer's decision --especially
if the buyer is prosperous, and
especially if the buyer is ex-
perienced enough to be quality cal” factors notwithstanding,
conscious. * "* —-------------—
The buyer will make sacri-
fices for additional comfort,
for additional prestige, for ad-
ditional. speed, for additional
safety. American manufactur-
ers learned this 15 years ago.
And today, they are learning
that European and Asian con-
Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Gates

and enjoyed fishing and
swimming.
Mr. and Mrs. David W.
Gates visited in Sealy Sun-
day afternoon with her moth-
er, Mrs. Ed Sramek.
David Gates of Houston
was a Saturday visitor in
the D. W. Gates home.
Mrs. J. W. Baty was pre-
sent at a recent Home Dem-

sumeits are bascially no dif-
ferent from American con-
sumers.
Recently w- read of a dis-
tinguished European religious
leader proudly showing off the
gadgets on his American auto-
mobile, Perhaps his tastes
could l>e called unpractical. On
the other hand, who is to say
that power operated windows
and airconditioning are unwise
investments when they bring
expected satisfaction to the
buyer.
The American automobile is
the child of advertising. It
grew as it did because re-
search indicated that it could
be advertised effectively. And,
thus, like most other Ameri-
can products it was conceived
on the idea that rhe consumer
is always right.
Locally, nationally--and
now internationally--the prin-
ciples of advertising hold con-
stant. A product sells when it
is what men want and when
they have complete informa-
tion on the product --**practi-
