Abstract
This paper will seek to examine the types of advertising relating to accountants and accounting services in the first few months of 1914. This particular year was selected since it was the first year in which federal income tax returns were required to be filed. It was felt this development would lead to increased advertising by the profession and its competition during this period, although it could not be determined that this was actually true. Further, the year 1914 came in the midst of the decade leading up to 1922, the year in which advertising was prohibited by the AIA. This was a time of debate concerning advertising by the profession and the literature of 1914 reveals this.
