* .11 The World we live in TODAY the world is literally at our doors. A spin of a dial, and we listen to the President in Washington, or a football game in San Francisco. From our talking machines the greatest of operatic stars sing to us, the. foremost dance orchestras play x lively syncopatioT of our choosing. Our automobiles stand ready to whisk us over smooth boulevards to new scenes. Monday is no longer blue; toe family washing is done bv electricity; so too is the ci<T mg’, and the preserving of food, and the sweeping of floors. Yes, the world we live in has changed ... changed marvelously for the better. Have you ever stopped to consider the part advertising has played in this change? Glance over the advertisements in this newspaper. How many of the product? mentioned are old friends of yours, familiar because you already own them or intend to get them soon! And the articles in your own home. Every one of them, probably, is advertised, either here or elsewhere. The chances are you first learned of them through the advertisements. Advertising is important to you because it keeps you informed of the changes in the world. It tells you of new products, of improved designs and workmanship and materials. It helps you to spend your money wisely and well. It points you to the better things of life. Advertising is the herald of progress. Decatur Daily Democrat
