When John Farmer's grandfather drove his claim stakes in the four corners of the homestead, he dreamed of big barn to shelter the mules he'd need as power to farm his acres. Those were the days before advertising when farming meant hard labor for eyery member of the family every day of the year. No John Farmer has just bought new tractor to do the work of many mules.

And the tractor performs myriad tasks that mules couldn't do. It runs the buzz saw, powers the feed mill, fills the silo. Without the service of advertising John Farmer still would be farming with mules using fertile acres to raise feed for them; devoting valuable hours every day caring for ithem. How has advertising affected life on the farm? Without advertising, few farmers could afford tractors-few would have radios, electrified homes, automobiles, automatic refrigeration, morbrized washing machinesand many other devices to save time and labor. Advertising has brought about nation-wide sales, large-scale pro.

duction and lower prices. Due to advertising the American Way of Living is pot restricted to a fortunate few, but is open to all. Adv. Bee. 12, 19, 26, Jan.
