During Victorian Era, industrial revolution and Great Exhibition brought British into a rich, powerful country. Victorian Era started the economic bloom of British follow by the advance in medical, technology & knowledge (Anne Shepherd,2001). Industrial production increase and product became cheaper. This stimulated the market thus boosts the economy of country. English society became rich and form by mostly the middle-class family. They felt like have to acting “properly” as a representation of their social class so they spend more to buy products. With the consumerism increased, competition between companies becomes aggressive. So advertising was needed for company to ensure their sell. After the death of Queen Victorian, Britain enters a new era called Edwardian Era. Edwardian era mark a greater social & economic change. Edwardian Era has been called as “age of optimism”, because technology become so advance and many things have been invented in short time (Edwardianpromenade, 2013). In this case, economy became even more competitive and so advertising became essential to show corporate identity. Advertising changes with it to fulfill the requirement of market and society, from method, style to product advertised.

However year and years have followed a new time period has took over. That time period was the Industrial Revolution. The industrial Revolution was a period between the 18th and 19th century. Major changes in agriculture and manufacturing had took the world by storm with the United Kingdom kick starting the Revolution. However with success comes setbacks and many people who worked struggled to meet the needs of supply and demand. The price of wood had began to increase because the supply was limited. “ The shortage of wood was very serious.Wood was the main fuel for cooking. It was essential for ship-building….”(Document
The period during which there was an increased output of machine-made goods, also known as the Industrial Revolution, played a critical role in reshaping Britain’s economy. The Industrial Revolution, stimulated by advancements that were made during the Agricultural Revolution, began in Great Britain for many reasons. In addition to Britain’s broad availability of natural resources, the count...
In many ways, the Victorians owe their remarkable place in history to the unique and successful exploitation of new technologies, the steamship, the railway and the electric telegraph. Her industrial advancement such as the mining of coal, minerals and other raw materials and the production of iron, textiles and manufactured goods allowed Britain to participate in large and a rapidly growing worldwide market.
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.
Advertising, whether criticized or celebrated, is undeniably a strong force in American society. Portrayals and Images of women have long been used to sell in published advertisements. However, how they have been used has changed enormously throughout the decades. Women have fought to find a lasting and prominent position in their society. Only in the span of twenty years, between 1900’s and 1920’s, the roles of women changed dramatically here in United States.
A growing population resulted in a greater demand for Great Britain. They were the first to start the Industrial revolution. With their invention of the steam engine transportation of goods and people boomed, railroad, canals, etc. which resulted in a new class system. Before people lived in small communities and their lives revolved around farming, but with the start of the revolution more people and laborers moved to the city which had become urban and industrialized. New banking techniques such as corporations, partnerships, credit, and stocks were invented. Everything used to be made in people’s homes using handmade tools, yet now everything is done in factories using mass production. The three major materials cotton, coal, and iron were the up and coming new products used during the industrial revolution. Cotton was used for the textile industry, coal for steam power, and iron for the new types of transportation. There was also an improvement in living standards for some, but the poor and working people had to deal with bad employment and living conditions. When the laborers moved to the cities clocks and

''My buildings will be my legacy... they will speak for me long after I'm gone.''- so tumbler worthy- is the quote placed on ad number one.

During the mid 18th century through the 19th century England started the Industrial Revolution. At the end of the industrial revolution there were more advantages than disadvantages, because the industrial revolution had to had cynical altercation in order for an increase in positive results. For example, the way goods were now manufacture. The goods were no longer produced in the household but in factories. England’s society had grown from agricultural to an industry dependent on manufacturing. Since the replacement of manual labor to manufacturing,the transformation of productivity and technical efficiency grew.For example, discipline managers would whip their workers if a task was not complete in the right format. The industrial revolution made people migrate from rural areas into urban communities in search of work which led to the expansion of cities.
A major cause for the Industrial Revolution was the enormous spurt of population growth in England. The increase in population meant that there were more people in surplus from agricultural jobs, and they had to find work in industrial factories. Enclosure brought forth a great increase in farming production and profits. Farming was improved through the use of crop rotation, enclosures, and the division on farms across England. Crops that were grown consisted of turnips, barley, clover, wheat. This improvement in farming caused a population explosion, which soon led to a higher demand for goods. The new means of production demanded new kinds of skills, new regulation in work, and a large labor force. The goods produced met immediate consumer demand and also created new demands. In the long run, industrialization raised the standard of living and overcame the poverty that most Europeans, who lived d...
During the 19th and 20th century, America –mostly white collar, middle class Americans- saw a great increase in salaries and a huge rise in mass production which paved the way for the modern American consumerism which we know today. The advertising scene saw a dramatic boost during that period and tried to latch on to this growing pool of emerging consumers. Although only limited to print, advertising during this pivotal period showed panache and reflected American society
By the 19th century the invention of labour-saving lime-saving machines had revolutionised industry. By 1851 at the Great Exhibition the UK was dubbed the workshop of the world as most mass manufactured items were produced more efficiently and competitively in Britain than elsewhere. Britain also had the commercial, financial and political power to edge out rivals at home and abroad. Large-scale production led to a long-term decline in agricultural employment and rural population.
The revolution of the 18th and 19th century saw an immense transformation in science, technology and our economy, hence, the transformation from a Neolithic economy to an industrial economy.
