    In 1902, “its capital stock was valued at $49,501,000” and “paid out $1,400,000 in dividends, while in 1911, when the capital stock was valued at $60,000,000, it paid dividends of $2,800,000” (Foner 307-308). The American Woolen Company continued to reel in substantial revenue numbers while the average wage of workers in the mills of Lawrence was $0.16 per hour (Neill 94). Clearly more interested in distributing their income to their shareholders rather than provide their workers with a raise that could slightly improve their living conditions, the American Woolen Company doubled what they pay as a dividend while the employees could barely afford to pay…

    After the end of World War I, the United States president, Warren G. Harding, claimed that he wanted to return to normalcy and to bring back the peace following the years of war; society did change, but it was no where near what it had been before the war (Marcovitz 14). “The reactionary temper of the 1920s and the repressive movements it spawned arose as reactions to a much-publicized social and intellectual revolution that threatened to rip America from it old moorings” (Tindall 800). During this time, the 18th Amendment was passed in order to maintain society’s previous morals and standards. Many Americans saw the consumption of alcohol as a sin and did not want their society to lose their morals (Marcovitz…

    The Man Nobody Knows

    The author of this book Bruce Barton was a partner in a successful advertising firm during the 1920's. This was a time when the industry of advertising was under going some major changes. These changes had a lot to do with a number of factors the first of which being the post war prosperity this meant people had more money than they ever had before. Another one of these factors had to do with the high number of teens who were now attending high school, this proved to be important because it created a whole other market which hadn't existed before. One more factor was the advances made in transportation and communication, these advances allowed goods, people, and information to travel long distances relatively quickly intern allowing companies to grow large enough to spread their services nationally. Still another important factor was the invention of financing, this allowed people to pay for durable objects (large objects that would last a couple of years) with affordable installments or payments. But the biggest changes were the actual advertising practices themselves, many of which were pioneered by Barton and his associates, and didn't become norms in advertising until after the release of Bartons book "The Man Nobody Knows" in 1924. This book served not only as a manual on how to advertise more affectively but also as an example of good advertising itself.…

    The early twentieth century carved the way for the future of advertising, as there was a rise of new marketing techniques and an even more pronounced abundance of material wealth. In the United States, advertising became a vital industry which raked in millions of dollars, as it sold products, marketed technology and publicised film. However, in the late 1920s, it was estimated the United States spent three times as much money on advertising than Germany, which suggested that the Germans did not have the same willingness to invest in advertising as the Americans did. German intellectual, Ernst Lorsy, reflects ironically on the would-be Americanisation of Germany by using the consumption of chewing gum, particularly the American manufacturer…

    The origins of advertising can be found around 3000 B.C., when shop owners in ancient Babylon started hanging signs made out of wood and stone. They were advertising to potential customers the products that they had for sale. The earliest media ads were in the form of pamphlets and posters. English booksellers printed brochures and bills announcing new material that will soon be available, this happened as early as the 1470 's. Long before printed material town criers orally spread the news and what some of the current issues were in town. In 1622 , printed advertisements started appearing in English newspapers, these ad 's took the place of the town criers and their orally ad 's. In 1704 the first newspaper ads in colonial America advertised land deal and ship cargos in the Boston News Letter. ()…
