” THE ‘PEANUT WHISTLE

“At is hardly likely that any street
vendor of peanuts has ever studied
merchandising or advertising. As 9.
metchant his status is humble. He
knows little alout the science of snles-
manghip and doves no book keeping.
Hour after “hour as he pushes his cart
or stands at a strect corner, the pene:
trating peep of bis whistle reminds the
public that he has roasted peannts for
sale,

This simple selling atratesy, of keep
ing the whistle blowing—has boosted
nainy a. small, unknown business into
a world. rcnowned enterprise, For ‘it
must be rementbered that: the public
is much too busy’ to stop and find out
What service: or yvouds’anyone has to
The one who has ‘the goods or

must keep’ the whistle blowing.”

Ww hich menus of course that Govern
ments with their many nnd varied ser-
viees for the public should also keep:
thelr whistle blowing in the ‘form of;
advertising.

To same extent this is now being
done ly some departments at Ottawu:

and the woman in the home know
about these services they cannot be ex-
‘pected to usee them: The Federal
tovernment is ndopting a sound policy
fy commencing to advertise a certain
nuinber of its services, ‘and as time
procceds more of the services that our
Federal and Provincial Govermnents

| Dear Sir:

Tt seems to me that the general need

“of Canada at the present time is the
“restoration to the citizens of Canada
In my
view there is’ altogether too great a
‘dependence on government: and belief
in its ability fo make something out of
‘nothing, too great a willingness to pro
fit by the results of repudiation and
similar nets, nud tao great a willing-
ness to contract debts without cousid-
oving law the debts are to he repaid.
