Senate Bill to Lead.

1t is generally expected the bill that
Is reported out of the Senate Finance
Committee is the bill that will become
law. Senator AIdricn and the Senate
leaders have not yet got their minds
fully made up what legislation should be
had. They are convinced, in a Ke-. .eral
way that an asset currency bill is
too strongly opposed TO permit Of en-
actment, and that il is impossible 10
get through a central bank OF issue
scheme.
Whatever is done will be. IN all proba-
bllity, fer an emergency currency
based on adequate securities. The de-
tails have not been worked out, how
ever, and Senator Aldrich does not ex-
pect 70 get bill framed uHil January.
This makes all talk OF early legislation
quite useless and absurd. Many believe
that II will be well along toward the end
OF the session before final action is
taken By Congress on this subject, and
the outlook is that this belief is the cor
rect one.

magazine ad, aside from the fact that It
has a blunderbus way of covering terri
tory which is of no value. is that we
must write the advertisements at least a
month ahead of the date on which the
reader will see it. Also we cannot possibly
forecast weather and other conditions
which have n very marked effect on our
business. For instance, in any former
year April has been the big month. Had
we been conducting a magazine campaign
we should have done most of our advertis-
ing In the months Of January. February
March-and experience cache us that
most Of il Womb have been wasted. The
season was backward, we had a rainy
spring and bad roads, and while such con-
ditions prevail people do not think opti-
unsteady on the automobile question.
with a newspaper campaign one is able
TO meet conditions as they arise; to meet
them on the minute, and TO get results
that are instant and tangible. While in
element weather prevailed we cut down our
advertising space, but as soon as the sun
came out we came forward with an
nouncements that we could make imme-
diate deliveries. and the response was all
that could have been desired.

possible, to write an ad that has any snap
