Does It mean “to warn to give notice to to inform to notify to make known to”? Or does it mean some sort of Involving skyscrapers Hollywood blondes billboards and tinging commercials? The first definition was written by Webster (not the senator the gentleman who wrote a dictionary) The other concepts are the result of a rash of lampoonery of advertising which while some of it may contain a grain of truth looks to me like biting the hand that is not feeding you The big bad novel about advertising at its blooming worst was called ’The Hucksters” a best seller highly salted with erotica which has been turned into a movie There is no accounting for tastes and I won’t object if you see the picture and like it All ask: "Don't acas cept the advertising sequences the literal truth There Is much about advertising I could loudly decry (and often do) at the risk of biting the hand that la not feeding me But there are “hucksters" who are undertaking of a very decent sort of projects which you may not be aware Maybe In thesepast few months you’ve asked yourself: Why doesn’t DO something about a somebody lot of things Something about the people killed or injured in automobile accidents every year about housing The Something war ended two years ago Yet the land of the free still Isn’t providing homes for the brave Shame on all of us!

primarily to the people without homes without nurses it is directed to the persons and organizations who can help bring these facts home Jo the general public— to It is an ad written by and you about the Advertising Council concerning an operation of which almost everybody is conscious but about which few people know the details It is an operation based on giving away what the givers ordinarily sell —advertising space advertising ideas advertising copy It answers the question: "Why doesn’t someDO body The reply is something?" —it's given in works as well as words — “Somebody IS" The council

a week after Pearl Harbor when Donald Nelson about to take over of the war production chairmanship board called In a group of advertising executives and discussed with them what the average citizen could do to help victory— and Incidentally what would make him do it Now you are reading and hearing the results of the council's peacetime efforts— they are embodied In the various forms of
