"A word on wheels" is an apt description of a slogan. Once started on its way, its rhythmic sound makes its impression on millions of minds.
On the opposite page are the official slogans of The Sugar Institute, also a pictorial example of how they can be used by manufacturers of sweets and associated products.
The manufacturer who cooperates by the use of such slogans on his letter-heads and envelopes, and on his cartons and packages will materially increase the influence of The Sugar Institute's campaign.
And like "bread cast on the water", such support will result in an increased demand for every product thus labeled.
It is interesting to note that the dining-car systems of many railroads in the country are cooperating with The Sugar Institute by printing articles about sugar on their menus. And, as was the case in 1929, a number of restaurants all over the country are featuring the slogans of the Institute on their menus.
The value of this publicity is limitless.
And remember that such widespread featuring of sugar and sweet-foods can be maintained at practically no expense.
A Practical Experiment in Co-Operation
The above illustration is designed to suggest how the Official slogans of The Sugar Institute may be used on various food packages to assist in promoting a more favorable acceptance of the use of sweets and of associated products.
SLOGANS AND LETTERING
"A bit of sweet makes the meal complete."
"Good food promotes good health."
"Most foods are more delicious and nourishing with sugar."
"Refresh yourself with a flavored drink."
