The prevailing attitude appears to be that advertising is first and foremost a business and that it should forget about trying to become a profession. To this I must say that advertising will continue to have a weak public image and fall short of meeting its social obligation until the field of practice is built on a strong professional base and craftsmanship is recognized as a means to an end, not an end in itself.
