Friday, January 31, 1936 NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING BUIUD8 INDUSTRY A fitly the value of newspaper advertising as a producer of business and industrial development was given in a recent public statement by L. A, Warren, president of Hafeway Stores, Inc., a chain grocery system serving western America. Citing Ills own company as a barometer indicative of the attitude of business In generul toward advertising, Mr. Warren declared that lie considered the growth of Safeway Stores and similar systems hut a reflection of the power of newspapers to build and maintain public respect and penile patronage He added: "It is thru advertising that people come In know! ami to understand the .scope oi any business concern's public* service, and j the commodities it offers for public I consumpt ion "it seems only natural that those concerns using newspaper advertising, uninterrupted year after year, do retain the highest confidence of the public that they serve. Their customers have found out that they can truthfully rely upon the advertised product, service and economy which ho often feature the display advertising of the chain stores. "We have repeatedly endeavored to help farmers dispose of surplus or distressed crops by conducting widespread advertising campaigns on certain products at various seasons of the year. Thesti campaigns have been eminently successful, and their beneficial effects to agriculture are both a tribute to newspeper advertising and the advantages of chain-store (list rilmt ion.'1 An> kind of merchandise, chain or in<!<-pendent. will doubtless reflect Mr Warren's views. Newspaper advertising is not only the best way to get busines.- for a good product or service it is also the best way to hold i' Industrial News-Review Advertising Benefits The Public I 'nor in the advent ot the so-culled chain grocer) store, there was little general advertising bv grocerv or drug Stores The people bought potatoeor i he) bought physic. Volume business with resulting lower prices was not encouraged by publicizing the. met* its oi different products in order to increase their sale and use Rut when the chain store idea was < evolved it was found that advertising! was essential and indispensable in order to move goods and create interest in new products It was not long helore the advertising policy of chain stores influenced other merchants to reach their customers in the same manner, in an effort to increase sales by offering the public household necessities or luxuries in attractive forms and at reasonable prices. The mass distribution idea reacted to the benefit of the buying public and today essentials of life are transfer led from producer to consumer at a price which would have been impossible except for the volume consump Hon treated bv intelligent advertising I hi-s- savings t<>r the family pock-1 et book have increased purchasing |m>wo|- ior other lines of business The result has been a greater sale of ad ditnmal comforts and luxuries which, i'i turn involte advertising b> many branches ot business Industrial News Review.

HANGING GARDENS OF BABYLON Supposed to Have Been Built to Satisfy Whim of a Wife. The Hanging Hardens of Babylon are supposed. to lutVc been a part of the palace of the Babylonian capital. I Tradition says the gardens were built b\ King Nebuchadnezzar to gratify tie- whim of his wife, Aniytis. who was bored by the monotonous plains i ot Bah> Ionia and longed for something resembling le-r native hills in Media. Smne am lent w rlters. however, say the Hanging Hardens were built by Sfiuirauiis instead of Nebuchadnezzar. Ancient historians differ as to just [what these gardens were like. ' They I consisted, it seems, of several acres of flower gardens, groves, avenues of trees and shrubs, intorpersed with fountains and banqueting rooms. One writer says it was a Horace like structure rising up from the Kuphratcs river on tiers of masonry arches to heights of from 75 to 10o feet above the "plnln -Another writer says the gardens were a building like structure with the flowers and trees on the roof The gardens were Irrigated from a reservoir situufPd at the top and supplied with w^ter from the Fuphrates by means of a large screw-like pump at which a force of men was continually working. It is impossible to say how much truth there is in these tradition-* respecting the Hanging Hardens Kxea v a tors of Babylon have unearthed the remains of a structure taintK answering the anoient description. but of much smaller dimensions.

Get every* thing out of life yopj without doing violence to your conscience, which God gave you as a guide. You cannot do wrong without knowing it. If there is any question in your mind as to whut is right don't do it. ? 2.- If you wish to stay oif good terms with your kin. never loan then) money, but if they are in need and you are able to assist, do so to the extent of your ability. 3. If you tell a falsehood, or steal a nickel during the day, you will wake up sometime during the night and find yourself In bed with a liar and, a thief. 4. I)o not fail to repeat everything nice you hear about others. Otherwise, keep a padlock on your lips. Think much but say little. 6. Remember, honesty, hard work, concentration and economy are the keys to success. Never hang a curtain between yourself and the truth in a business transaction. 6. Sympathize and help others in time of misfortune, but do not burden them with your own troubles. 7. Remember you place yourself at u disadvantage if you tell a thing, though it be true, if it sounds unreasonable. ? 8. Ujiless it is to the interest of the public, never repeat or tell anything that is calculated to do harm. 9. If you want to get the best of ' your enemies, whip them with silence and kindness, when possible. 10. Remember right living is the only road that leads to happiness. , ?A. lM. Younac -?
