A truly modern radio at a modest price. $99.50 COMPLETE Advertising's New Role (Condensed from The Rotarian in Reader's Digest.) Once upon a time the President of the United States, when he had any- thing to suggest for the good of the nation, put it in a message and sent it over to Congress. Congress could take it or leave it. There was noth- ing the President could do about it. To -day the President sits down before the microphone and talks di- rectly to the, people. He tells the na- tion what he wants to do and why, and Congress, spurred by mandates from the people, meekly enacts the legislation the President has asked for. Thus the art of advertising has been introduced into the art of gov- ernment. For observe the parallel. Once upon a time the manufactur- er of goods sent his travelling men to the retail dealers to show them the goods and urge them to buy. The dealers could take them or leave them. There was nothing the manu- facturer could do about it. To -day the manufacturer goes di- rectly to the public over the radio or in the pages of newspapers and mag- azines, and tells people what he has for sale and why he thinks it good and desirable, and the public serves in mandate on the dealer who now has to sell that manufacturer's goods Whether he wants to or not. The manufacturer learned long ago that the consumer is boss, and now government is learning the same ad- vertising lesson. The consumer and the citizen are one and the sane per- son, and if he can be sold goods by advertising, be can be sold legisla- tion by the same means. That is ex- actly what the President is doing and his action is big with promise for the future .of both government and advertising. Another portent which ynay fore- shadow tremendous tlings in ' adver- tising is the advent,; of truth. Yes, dear reader, I mean exactly that. For an experiment is being tried in New York which may prove a landmark in adivertising history. There is a legend that a one-time advertising manager of W'anantak- er's seeking store news asked a de= partment head: "What have you' got?" "`I've got 158 raincoats that aren't worth a -•-damn, -and I'm going to sell them for $1.68." To the horror of that department head and the dismay of his superiors the advertisement appeared in the morning papers in just those words. But before any protests could be reg- istered, buyers began to arrive and 'before noon the last of those rain- coats had been sold. ffut what I refer to specifically is the courageous venture of Gimbels This gives the gist of their prelim- inary announcement: 'For years on end, we at Gimbels have been thinking that we were tell- ing the truth. . . . But what we have been telling was, so to speak, "commercial truth." We would tell you, rqulte honestly, that a certain pair of curtains had been copied, in design, from a famous model, that the colors were pleasing, ."thet•°•the price 'was 'very low. Every word of bilis was true, But we have failed to say that the curtains would prob- aibly fade after one or two seasons of wear. . . . 'From now on, all Gimhels advertis- ing will he -"The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." (Since that fortright announcement the regular daily advertisements have contained such disarming paragraphs as this: We have taken the 243 accumulat- ed rugs and slashed their prices for a one -day sell out.

At least two results e'hel;<ict follow such a policy front the start. Inz- rnediately the advertising becomes. more interesting to the reader, and reader confidence is greatly enhanc- ed. If advertising can be used to simp- lify the tilfficulties of legislation and further, if advertising can be made a dependable, 'relievable vehicle, in- teresting because of its truth and sincerity/ an amazing future opens before it. A force which has done so mush to distribute all sorts of goods is not going $.o be overlooked when it comes to,. distributing ideas, There are movements, trends, undertakings of the utmost import to 'the human race that need now only advertising —that is, public ° knowledge — to make them 'vigorously effective on a large scale. Take the surplus wheat with which America has long struggled. Every way of disposing of it has been tried except the obvious one of eating it. That we could have eaten it if it had been sold to us . (by advertising, of course) can be shown by a few figures. The annual per -capita con- sumption ofwheat is now 4 1-5 bush- els. Before the war it was 5 2-5 bushels. That 1 1-5 bushels- is the surplus. The drop in wheat consump- tion was caused by several things. First war propaganda, "c nserve the wheat for the men 'fighting ,in Eur- ope." Next the slenderness fad which put millions of women on diet. Also the prosperous years taught us to eat many new and more expensive foods and cut down on the bread, rolls. spaghetti and other foods in which wheat is the largest ingredi- ent. What advertising has done, ad- vertising can undo. The people can be brought back to wheat by the same means through which they were weaned from it—by- propaganda, a form of advertising. Only a part of the immmlensP sums spent to peg the price of wheat would be needed to advertise it back to its former popularity, and the govern- ment would not only have solved its emergency problem but provided a future market. What would such a concern as the du Ponts do with such a problems _...The end of the war fotrnd them with large stocks of .nit- rocellulose on hand and no market for it. The -chemists found peace- time uses for it, a hundred new pro- ducts were sold by advertising, and the whole world was wrapped in cel- lophane. Disease and war, two enemies of mankind that need only public knowl- edge and public ,opinion to fade out of civilization, are both fair targets for this new "public welfare" adver- tising we are prophesying. We al- ready have a working model of how the first might be accomplished and a workable plan for accomplishing the other. 'Medical science has gone so far in its conquest of certain contagious and other diseases that I venture to say its greatest obstacle is now ignor- ance—the ignorance of people as a whole. For the remedies necessary, particularly prevention or immuniz- ing, require a wide, general co-opera- tion, which depends on knowledge and education. Diphtheria is no longer the menace it was; the end is almost in sight. A wide, thorough, and constant dis- seniination of the information that inoculation with toxin -anti -toxin im- munizes the patient would in time cut the death rate to zero. I cite diptheria as an instance because it is one of the subjects selected for its admirable health promotion by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com- pany. During the four years that it has urged communities threatened with epidemic to take this scientific Precaution nortality has been cut one-half. Also its instructions for artificial respiration in cases of near drowning have save:] many lives. This company's advertis.ng is hut a pros- pectus of what an enlightened nation could and should •cin on a scale as wide as the effort that sold six bil- lions of war bonds in a few weeks. There is a workable plan for stamp- ing out war by advertising. It was prepared not by an impractical paci- fist, hut by Bruce Barton, a hard- boiled advertising man. The plan is as sane,,as documented, as practical as any ever submitted to a cigarette manufacturer or motor car magnate. It was published in The American Magazine with examples of the kind of advertising recomitmencled• under the title, "Let's Advertise This Hell!" But though disarmament is the great- est single issue before the world to- day, though war grabs three-fourths of our tax dollar, though every man, woman and child is concerned and would be benefitt,Iecl, no important newspaper as far as •I know gave this important article mention. The newspapers are lukewarm, and the public is lukewarm because it is ig- norant. It roust be told. It is simply a matter of changing a world's thinking.

Development Of Canadian Banks (Frons London Free Press) The Canadian financial system is the result of a process of gradual growth and development extending over more than a century. Public attention is focussed on the hanks to - lay, following the announcement by Premier Bennett that a central bank is to be established as a result of the recent investigations of the royal banking commission. In their report, which is a comprehensive and valu- able one, is an interesting history of the financial institutions of Canada,. The Canadian banking system is a direct descendant of the first Bank of United States. Most of the bank charters of Upper and Lower Canada followed 'die charter of the Bank of Montreal, granted in 1822, which em- bodied all the essential clauses and even•,snme of the phraseology of the• charter of the first Bank of United States. The first charter granted in the 'Maritime Provinces was that to the Bank of New Brunswick, and gen- erally the constitution of the Upper and Lower Canada hanks exercised a predominant influence on the first Bank Act of the Dominion of Canada. First Bank Art Although the Federal Government was given control of harking and Currency, in 1807, the year of Con- federation, the 'firtst comprehensive Dominion Bank A•et was not passed until 1871. In the interval 1111 banks worked under their existing provin- cial charters, which had been con - tinued. . An .outstanding feature of the Act of 1871 was what is com- monly referred to as. the double lia- bility •cause, which renders a share- holder liable for an amount equal to par value of the shares held by 'him, in the event of failure. Period of Progress The period from 1867 to 1883 was one of general economic progress in the Dominion, and the banks shared in this increase of prosperity. Re- markable growth occurred during this period. Between 1867 and 1881 thirty bank charters were issued by the Government, resulting in the for- mation of 20 new banks. In the midst of the latter ,period, however, there occurred a general depression, which was severely felt in Canada. There resulted a number of bank failures and the consequent losses led so changes being made to the Bank Act in 1880. In 1892 the 'Canadian Bankers' Association was formed, of which. th'e chartered banks were no n:bers, and bank officers and as- sociates. This was a voluntary as- sociation. which later camre to have an important influence on Canadian banking. In the session 1900 Par- liament incorporated association which was enrpo'ered o establish and regulate clearing houses. The association was also given supervi- sion over the issuance and destruc- tion of bank notes.

Farm Field Work Power A study of tractor operation on prairie farms in Western Canada was conducted co-operatively by the Can- adian Pioneer Problems Committee, 'the Department of Farni Manage- ment of the University of Saskatche- wan, the University of Alberta and the Agricultural Economics Branch of the Dominion Department of Ag- riculture. In comparison with horse costs, it was found that the cost of doing mmajor field operations was less with tractors than with horses in 1930. By' 1932, however, feed prices and labour costs had decreased so much, while cash costs of tractor op- eration remained practically the same that horse -power was found to be much more economical than that of the tractor. As a general rule, says the 'Economic Annalist, the total cost of doing field operations with horses will be less than with tractors when it requires more than two bushels of oats to purchase enough fuel to op- erate a three -plough tractor for an hour. Changes in Act The period from 1900 to 1913 was one of unprecedented economic de- velopment in Canada, in which the banks played a very important part. Their resources and revenue increas- ed greatly. Some changes in the Bark Act were made during 1913, among them the establishment of central gold reserves, by which four trustees were empowered to receive from the banks deposits of gold or Dominion notes, against which the banks might issue an equal amount of their own notes. In the same year a shareholders' audit system was es- tablished. The act virtually remain- ed unchanged from 1913 to 1924. in 1923 the Home Bank of Canada failed, with heavy losses not` only to shareholders but also to depositors. .it was the firsf major hank failure Canada -bad suffered and there was naturally a tremendous outcry all ov- er the country. In 1924 the Bank Act was amended and the provision made for Government inspection. Since then there has not been a sus- picion of trouble. 'Phis was the only change made of any importance, and the act under which the banks now operate is the act of 1923. Amalgamations 'During the present century an im- portant feature in the developiment of Canadian banking has been the reduction in the number of charter- ed banks by amalgamation. a pro- cess facilitated by the provisions in- serted in the Rank Act in 1900. At that time there were 38 banks. By the end of the war this had been re - (lured by amalgamations and one rel- atively unimportant failure to 19. Since the war the process has con- tinued and to -day there are hut 10 chartered 'hanks in Canada. in the reduction has come strength, how- ever, and all are in excellent fifiancial condition, giving the country service through thousands of branches.
