An Advertising Editorial
Of Interest to Readers
The Two Kinds of News
That Newspapers Print
One concerning other people the other concerning you
One kind tells what happened yesterday in Kokomo Kalamazoo
Kankakee; the other tells what is happening today in your own
interest.
One you find in the news columns the other in the advertisements.
Advertising has to do with to-
day and we LIVE in today
and TODAY only.
What happened yesterday to
the value of stocks means less to
the average woman than infor-
mation as to where she can buy
most satisfactorily her summer
wardrobe.
Nor is the newest sartorial
"stunt" of some popular cotil-
lion leader half as interesting to
the average man as his own
clothier's advertisement.
So on through the gamut of
human emotions. Advertising is
the real "Big Story" of the day
to the people interested in mak-
ing purchases which will con-
tribute to their health and happi-
ness. Thajt's why these newspapers
put so much stress on their ad-
vertising news especially now
when thoughts of shopping for
vacation trips are uppermost.
That is why the advertising
pages of The Post are read by
thousands upon thousands of
conservative progressive people
like yourself with as much inter-
est as the news pages.
This newspaper is both Con-
servative and progressive. It has
the faith of its readers. That is
why it has a seven-day -a-week
appeal to its subscribers who con-
trol the spending of millions of
dollars annually.
These subscribers buy necessi-
ties and luxuries for thousands
upon thousands of people repre-
sented in their homes.
There's a suggestion of signifi-
cance here to the wise adveniser
who places his advertising with
the object of having it read by
the progressive responsive read-
