9.    How advertising developed; what the first one was              doing; what lured people to doing it; and what                    advertising people do.



     "Advertising has developed and supported great industries, bulwarked-"or increased- "entire economies, and changed a sufficient number of human habits" (Wood 3). Like that paragraph says, advertising effects people in what they do and how they do it.  It has effected the Kleenex company, the Nylon manufacturers and a company of a new type of car, the Tucker Corporation, from the 1940’s.  Advertising has changed due to these people by their ways of making people notice their product.  Preston Tucker advertised his new car early, and received many replies on what the car was about; the Nylon company advertised a day in which their product would start selling and the country ran out of stockings to sell; and the Kleenex company used advertising to decide which of two products they should sell.  Advertising has different effects on consumers, it changes their perspective on what is, or is not, worth buying; what they buy, when they buy it and how much are bought.  Advertising "symbolizes and concentrates in its image all that is considered good and bad in present day commercial and industrial capitalism in America." (Bensman 9).
     When advertisers plan their strategies for the sale of a certain product, they look at who would use the item.  If the product was make-up, the type of person that would use it would most likely be a woman, around the age of thirteen and up.  The advertisers would then find an ideal looking woman to model for ads to show the makeup on a person and try to get women to use it.  The way that the advertisers describe the model will also get your attention; they might say that she is not really beautiful until she puts on the makeup, or something along those  lines.  Advertising is an effective method of public relations communication for several reasons.  It is economical, making it possible to carry out a public relations message to a large number of readers at a relatively low cost per reader.  It can be highly selective and concentrated on a particular segment of the public such as stockholders, suppliers, or opinion leade...
