Today advertising has girded
the planet. Keen intelligence
has been turned to this fine art,
with the result that men of
high talent have organized
themselves into “Ad Clubs"
whose influence is immeasur-
able. Successful advertising
requires literary ability—not
merely to state plain- facts but
to couch them in attractive
language that cause the people
to be interested and to realize
the need of this advertised com-
modity. It requires tact and
wide sympathy for the actual
needs of the consumer. But be
