' ' ' ; ' Salesmen andff Advertising Men to V Lead the Way in 1920 By WILLIAM H. RANKIN New York Chicago The following is the creed I would suggest to increase production and lower the cost of living in 1920 : Work Work Work More Work More work to the hour. More hours of work. 8-10-12 Hours a Day. We're behind. Let's catch up. Let us put more work into every hour and more hours into every day to serve as an example to other workingmen and the rest of the world. Let us do our best to make Progress and increase Production through more work done per hour and more work hours per day. Let's work with all our might all our brain all our heart to make the world see that the only road to permanent prosperity is hard work. The world needs more of everything. It looks towards America to produce. What will America do? Listen to siren calls of the false gods of unrest, or get down to business? Will we shilly-shally, parley, delay, linger and wait while the world starves? Will our American workmen be blind to the cause of the High Cost of Living? Will they continue to try to boost themselves up by their boot straps, in an attempt to beat the high prices? Will they fail to see that every disturbance every hour of "lay off" costs them more than their higher wages? Will they be blind to the fact that shorter hours, higher pay de feats the end they are seeking? That higher pay for less work means higher price for less of everything they need? Will they persist in their frenzied "dog-chasing-its-tail methods" un til the craze of unrest spreads to the farm? Will the farm hand demand a 44-hour week, and thus boost prices still more? Will the American workman continue to be the unconscious tool of Bolshevists and I. W. W.'s? Will labor act as a "cat's paw" and singe itself in the first of discontent to further the cause of destruc tionists, who would make license of liberty and substitute immorality for morality? Will Americans let a few "born in bitterness" foreigners whip them into a tempest of discord, that will wreck their Life and Liberty. No, a thousand times o ! We have faith in the American spirit. Deep down in the heart of every American working man or em ployer is a patriotism as sturdy as that of the man who made the Dec laration of Independence. This was shown in the great war. It helped to win the war. It will defeat the insidious foe of American Progress and Prosperity, dis guised as the friend of the working ma,n. Production alone will cut down the cost of living. Production means, work an honest day's work for the farmer, the plumber, the carpenter, the office man, the office boy. It means work with hand, with heart, with brain. The price of prosperity is work. The price of contentment is work. Good, faithful service for good pay is the salvation of America and of the world. We are away behind on production. .Prices are soaring. The old law of supply and demand always works. Increase the supply by work and prices will come within reach. ; Because men are now off their mental balance, the country is balance. ,s off It is up to the advertising men to work to help to restore balance, to reduce prices by increasing production. Increased production will make present wages buy more. It's the only way to break the vicious circle higher wages less work higher cost of living. Most laboring men think that the men in the office, the salesmen, the advertising men and the clerks all have an easier time than they, that the inside men work fewer hours pet day than the laborer or the skilled workman. Let's show them that that is jiot true. Let's talk less and do more. Let the advertising men, the salesmen, the clerks and their associates, set the example by working 8, 10 and 16 hours a day. I know hundreds of men advertising men working for newspapers, magazines, farm papers, trade papers, billposters and outdoor advertising, advertising managers and advertising agency men who, during the past four years, worked 8, 10, 12 and 16 hours a day every day in the week in order that they might do their own job and work for the United States Gov ernment besides. These men are working that way now because they have to keep up with the presentday advertising production. But let us all go a step farther and let everybody know there is no eight-hour day in the advertising business, and by our example show our fellowmen that the way to lower the cost of living and increase pro duction is for all of us to do more work per hour and work more hours per day Saturday included., Give Prosperity a fair chance. Do all you can, and then do more for orfe year. Work Work Work. It's the simpje, sure way to prosperity. Work onlyVill win in the fight for greater production and the reduction of the high cost of living. But let the sales and advertising men lead the way. By our ex ample let us show the laboring men that we are ready and willing: to work 8, 10, 12 or 16 hours, if neeessary six days, and if need be, seven to bring up production and help to reduce the cost of living. Let us advertise that fact, and let everyone know we are not look ing for the best of it in hours, hard work or financial gain. ' - - " I'
