What These Men Do

First, this Board separates the possible
from the impossible. They give to every
applicant full and frank advice, based on
wealth of experience. This service is
free. We invite you to submit your
problems.
Their next duty is to make the utmost
success Of the campaigns which we un-
dertake. The methods, means and copy
are worked out in conference, where
dozen men contribute ideas. A compe-
tent jury-not single judge-decides
the right and the wrong.
Thus we succeed, and thus we avoid
mistakes. Thus we have grown, through
the growth of our clients, to our present
enormous proportions.

In this department we pay the highest
salaries ever paid in advertising. The
head of this department receives $1,000
