A. W. O- L.
During the war, thousands of our soldiers in the
camps near New York City had to be punished for
being absent without leave.
The number of such cases was disconcerting and
punitive measures were not successful.
Some one with a knowledge of psychology or
salesmanship or advertising or human nature, sug
gested a positive remedy.
In a modest advertising campaign the citizens of
New York were told about the thousands of our
American boys who were in the city for a twenty
four or thirty-six hour visit and who might be
heavily punished if they missed the last train or the
last ferry boat and were therefore, A. W. O. L.
The citizens were asked to help direct the stranger
and speed the parting guest that he might not be
late. They did, and the cases of A. W. O. L. dropped
amazingly.
Advertising men would call this, "Selling the Idea."
Advertising can sell goods, ideas or service.

The L. B. Automatic index
in the electrical field
This is the age of electricity: electric light, electric
power, electric everything. Handling the business details
in this field has kept pace with the development of electric
ways and means.
Proof of this is found in the ever-increasing use of the
Library Bureau Automatic index by electrical manufac
turers, electrical supply houses, and electric light and
power companies everywhere.
The L. B. Automatic index is as far ahead of other
methods of filing and Hz-filing as the electric light is'
superior to other methods of illumination.
The L. B. Automatic index generates speed it flashes a
never-failing signal against mistakes it electrifies willing
fingers.
It gets letters out of the files as quickly as it puts them in.
