In the early days of newspaper pub- licity most of the advertisers were fak- irs. The dishonest, sharper than their plodding contempories, were first to real- ize the value of the news sheets as a means of getting in touch with money spenders. In the evolution of the art of advertising the primitive conditions have been reversed. The charlatans are in a minute minority. As Walter H. Page, editor of the World's Work, put it in a recent address to the Agate Club, of Chicago: "The idea of the advertis- ers now is to benefit the public. The old idea was to `catch' the public."
