COOUDGE LAUDS ADVERTISING AS LIFE OF TRADE Competition in Service Must be Kept Standard of Economic Activities, He Says. President Coolidge, addressing the American Association of Advertising Agencies at its convention in Wash ington, called advertising the life of trade and said that basically the part it plays in the modern life of pro duction and trade is that of educa tion. "It informs its readers of the ex istence and nature of commodities by explaining the advantages to be de rived from their use and creates for them a wider demand. It makes new thoughts, new desires and new ac tions. By changing the attitude of mind it changes the material condi tion of the people," the President declared. The importance of telling the truth in advertising was emphasized by President Coolidge, who warned against greediness for gain. "So long as our economic activi ties can be maintained on the stan dard of competition in service we are safe," he declared. "If they ever degenerate into a mere selfish scramble for rewards we are lost. Our economic well-being depends upon our integrity, our honor, our conscience. It is through these qualities that your profession makes its especial appeal." Advertising, the President pointed out, creates mass demand, which makes possible mass production. The pre-eminence of America in indus try, which has constantly brought about a reduction in costs, has come largely through mass production, he said. "Perhaps the most creditable as pect of our present prosperity is that wages are high while profits have been moderate," President Coolidge asserted. "That means the results of prosperity are going more and more into the homes of the land and less into the enrichment of the few." OAK GROVE NEWS Bostic, Route 3, —Nov. 9.—Rev. J. C.
