Advertising and Local Fame.


In the rather interesting article
printed this week about Cleveland as
an advertising center, the significant
statement is made that Cleveland's
many national advertisers have greatly
increased the prestige of the city.
This is unquestionably true. 1t fol-
lows naturally that if advertising
makes an article famous it makes the

on the automatic instance OF Milwau-

are Detroit, Buffalo, Battle Greek, Key
West, Kalamazoo, and many other
places. We have in preparation an I'M

been to private concerns at 500, 900 or

with Mckinley, hts great work as at

achievements were galvanizing the
antitrust law into life, dissolving the
