PRESS BEST TO REACH PEOPLE
Big Corporations Have Learned That
Erecting Big Buildings Is Not
Profitable Advertising.

Many attempts have been made t,
invent methods of advertising tina
will be superior to the ordinary med
iums like the newspapers, magazines
street cars and billboards. In the
search for novelty hundreds O.
schemes have been devised, and al
though some have been effective to {
degree majority have been absolute
failures.
A fine building is regarded as a gooC
advertisement of business, just az
good clothes produce a favorable II
preston upon those with whom tn .
wearer comes in contact. The obsery
er who sees 1t regards it as an evi
dence of prosperity and responsible
ity. The Equitable Assurance Asso
cations building, recently destroyed
by fire; the Singer and Metropolitan
towers, the tallest Office structures in
the world, were erected not so much
for these several institutions as to
provide striking and impressive ad
Vertisements.
Immense buildings like these rarely
produce a sufficient amount of rev
enue to pay even a small interest on
their cost. When there is a deficit II
is charged, as likely as not, to the ad
vertising account. The question that
Is sometimes considered in board
meetings Is, as it worth the price?"
and the usual conclusion is that it is
not. 1t is reported that the Equitable
which at one time had plans prepared
for skyscraper that should overtop
all others and which would cost from
$2O,000,000 to $30,000,00O, has aban
doned the project
The success Of insurance companies
depends upon the amount of policies
they can write during the year, and
the Singer company relies upon its
sales of sewing machines to furnish
dividends for its stockholders. Have
the buildings erected by these com
panies materially increased the bust
ness of either one? We doubt it, says
the Editor and Publisher. In order
to sell anything to the public you must
present to that public, either through
your salesman or through the news
papers or magazines, description OF
what you have to sell. Palatial and
artistically constructed buildings can
not take the place of real, persuasive
advertising in popular mediums
Therefore, how much better off all
three of the great companies mention.
ed above would be today If they had
taken the millions they have spent in
erecting colossal office buildings and
spent them in acquainting every man
and woman in the country through
popular and effective advertising me
diums with what they have to sell.
Newspapers penetrate every city
town and hamlet in the United States
They are read because the people de
pend upon them for the news of the
