are natural and ordinary, its plot Is just
enough TO afford a reason for the intro

WELL DOOMED
Arts and Crafts Press Agent
One Of Best in Country.

A letter written from the offices OF the
New England Association OF Arts and
Crafts. states that its coming Industrial
Exposition was "the best ever adver-
tised in New England" There is no doubt
of the truthfulness OF the assertion; and
those familiar with advertising can read
lily see the work of the experienced and
able hand that directs this end OF the
big enterprise.
The management OF the exposition has
shown its own far-seeing shrewdness and
good judgment in leaving this important
part Of the undertaking wholly TO the dis
cretion and discriminating judgment of
one than whom there can be none better
for the arduous task and who knows the
advertising business OF such an undertake
ing from A 10 u.
In addition TO an exceedingly clever and
well-directed employment OF newspaper
space, the association has gotten out one
OF the most artistic and striking half
sheet autographs ever displayed here
abouts. IL is I'm four bright colors, and
happily combines the desderatum OF be-
ing extremely showy without in the
least suggesting the gaudy or fiashy.

effective and comprehensive. inscription,
