Economically to Open up this gigantic coun try, to bring the fields and forests, rivers and moun tains into the service of economic progress, to incite the millions of inhabitants to have new needs and to satisfy these by their own resourcefulness, to increase the wealth of the nation, and finally economically to rule the world and within the nation itself to raise the economic power of the individual to undreamt-of im portance, has been the work which has fascinated the American.

Excerpt from The Essentials of Advertising Advertising is such a big subject and the amount of material concerning it is so abundant that it is impossible within the limits of a single volume to present more than a small part of what might be written about it. In the preparation of a text-book all the author can do is to confine his attention to a few of its many phases with the hope that the student, after he has mastered the principles set forth, will desire to continue his search for advertising knowledge elsewhere. In the present book it has been the purpose of the writer to outline and discuss, as briefly and as clearly as possible, the funda mental principles upon which modern advertising practice is based, the preparation of copy, the special advantages of the several mediums employed, the duties of the more important positions, and such other information as will give the student a comprehensive view of the subject. In taking up the study of advertising it is important that the beginner should get started right and the aim of this volume is to help him get such a start. When he has assimilated its con tents he can then proceed through actual experience in the field and further study to build upon the foundation he has thus laid until he becomes a skilled practitioner of the art of advertising.

Excerpt from Advertising: A Study of a Modern Business Power Nowadays, it is becoming more and more clearly recognized that in economics, as in other fields, theory and practice must keep one another within hail. The student must maintain a firm grip on the actual facts of industry, and the business-man must remind himself of the rules and reason of the glorious game of business if each is to contri bute his share to what should surely be the object of both - the progressive improvement of our economic organization. If this book, by its descriptions and discussions of one branch of business, is of some little assistance in enabling the scientist and the artist in economics thus to keep within hail, it will fulfil its purpose.

Excerpt from The Advertising Book, 1916 One object is to give to such persons as may be interested in advertising (but who are not familiar with its inner workings in its modern forms) a clear idea of what is being done from within to make more effective this part of the present-day selling mechanism. The other, and the more important object, is to help those who are actively engaged in selling operations to acquire a working familiarity with some of the events forming current advertising history. To such persons, the records of these events may have suggestive value in connection with efforts to reduce waste in the processes of distributing merchandise.

Excerpt from Outdoor Advertising, the Modern Marketing Force: A Manual for Business Men and Others Interested in the Fundamentals of Outdoor Advertising As a factor in lowering the cost of distribution of trade marked commodities from manufacturer to consumer, Outdoor Advertising, through its nation-wide scope and its high efficiency, is constantly becoming more important in the American economic structure. The large amount of capital invested, the number of people employed in the business, and the fact that Outdoor Advertising is a substantial consumer of the products of other lines of business, such as lithography, steel, lumber, paper, paint, electric current, etc., make this in itself an industry which ranks high in national importance.
