Press Advertising Soil Victory Bonds
•
B EPORE the war, bond buyers were ''marbled men." In number they
were 40,000 in March, 1917—this is shown by the number of pur-
chasers of the Government War Loan of that date. But in the
autumn of the sante year, theis number increased twenty times—to
820,000! This was the number purchasing the Victory Loan, 1917. Last
month—November, 1918—over 1,000,(X)0 persona purchased the Victory Loan.
1918'
These wonderful results were aeeomplished by i're'.s Advertising.
Before the war one-half of one per cent. of our people bought bonds, \i-iw
quite twelve and oue-half per cent. of our people are bond buyers!
Before the stupendous amount of
$676,000,000 worth o! bonds
could be sold to our Canadian
people in three weeks a moat
thorough anil exhaustive cam-
paign of education wast neces-
sary, and this campaign was car-
ried through by advertising in
the, public press. The power of
the printed wool never had a
• more convincing demonstration.
By means of the printed word,
through the medium of advertise-
ments in the preas of our country,
the Canadian people were made
to knAw what bonds are, the
nature of their security, their at-
tractiveness as an investment,
and who the Governinent had to
sell bonds.
Every point and feature of Vic-
tory Bonds /vas illuatrate.l anal
described before and during the
campaign — i n advertisements.
No argument was overlooked.
No selling point was neglected.
The result is that Canadians to-
day
inday are a nation of bondholders.
They know what a convenient,
eats and profitable form of in-
vestment bonds are. Instead of
one man in two hundred owning
bonds, now one Canadian in eight
—men, women and children-
owns a Government Security,
Th eomplete transformation in
the national mind and habits was
brought about by advertising in
the press of the nation. Press
advertising has justified itself as
the surest and speediest method
by which a man's reason can be
influenced and 'directed.
The Minister of Finance seknowl-
edges this. His own wordy are:
"The wonderful success of the Loan was due in large
measure to their (thllpress of Canada) splendid and untiring
efforts during the whole of the Campaign."
Mr. E. R. Wood. Chairman of the Dominion Executive Committee barite over.
sight of the t'ampaigi to raise Victory Loan, 1918. said " The press
publicity campaign . . . will rank u one of the most.remarkable and effi-
cient publicity campaigns ever undertaken in any country," and l M r .1 I!
(lunriv, Vice-('hairman of the same eonimittee said - "I have been selling bonds
for a gong time, but I never found it so easy to sell them as at this time The
reason is the splendid work the press hu done. I take off my hat to the press
of Canada."
The success of Victory Loan, 1918, and the knowledge whieh Canadians now
possess of bonds are a straight challenge to the man who doubts the power of
the printed word, in the form of advertisements, to sell goals - and thin ap-
plies not to bondot alone, bat to the goods Jou are interested in selling.
