Example text
In America a man is free to choose his work, free to develop his talents, free to advance to the limit of his ability [a phrase repeated frequently in such ads]. It is opportunity, incentive to individual effort that has made America strong” (Business Week 27 Nov. 1943: 2). The second SKF free enterprise ad contains a much more orthodox definition of free enterprise when it maintains that there is “a reason why America has the highest standard of living the world has ever known. It’s a natural product of free enterprise.
But that isn’t the point. What I ask for is the right to squawk when I think things could be run better. That’s the American way. It’s worth fighting for” (38). Key is the ad’s definition of “the American way” that had absolutely nothing to do with free enterprise, but with one of the personal liberties guaranteed by the Constitution. An ad by the National Steel Corporation in Newsweek on August 2, 1943, gave readers several motivations for winning the war, most but not all harking back to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution: “Of all the blessings that are ours as Americans, the most precious by far is Liberty — the right to work, and to enjoy the fruits of our labor; the right to vote; the right to worship as we please; the right to seek happiness in our own way for ourselves and for our children” (10).
Clearly the intention and objective of war ads overall cannot be found in a view so narrow and promoted in so few ads. If this view was too constricted to define a genuine intention and objective in war ads, another put forth later is simply too broad. In her 1992 article “Madison Avenue Goes to War: Patriotism in Advertising During World War II,” Sue Hart wrote, “Whatever their wares — beauty aids, car parts, or kitchen appliances — World War II era advertisers were selling patriotism and promise first; their products second” (125).
