. . . Despite all the weakness and vulgarity of trade to-day — its labor problems, its bad organiza- tion, the ugliness and feebleness of its craftsmanship — I honestly believe it will work out its own salvation ; and that advertisement is the great tool with which 72 THE POLITICS OF INDUSTRY this will be done. . . .

The hopeful thing is the increasing number of business men who feel that the adver- tising which business does, if it is not to be par- asitic, must make for increased sanity as well as increased size of consumption demands.
