"Of nothing am SO thoroughly con-
yinced as that the greatest single fac
tor in successful advertising Is abso-
lutte honesty and sincerity OF state.
ment," Hugh Chalmers, president oil
the Chalmers Motor Car Co, told the
$50 members OF the National Associa-
ton OF Automobile Manufacturers,
which opened it's annual convention
in the Pontchartrain THIS morning.
Il question whether we like the ad.
vertisement which exaggerates, any
better than we hike the person who
exaggerates. | question whether We
like the advertisement that brags and
busters and blows, any more than
We like the person who has these uu-
desirable traits. ] question whether
we Like the advertisement which Is
egotistical and uselessly wordy any
more than we like the person who Is
that way.
Advertising is the expression OF
the character OF a business. IL Is
simply a business standing up and
Expressing itself 20 the people. Why
should the rules OF what is proper in
an advertisement be different from
the rules OF what is proper and al
mirable in a person."
MIR. Chalmers was one OF four
speakers at the morning session. Sam
uel A. Miles, general manager OF the
association, opened the convention
with an address on the accomplish
ments OF the association he repre-
sents.
The speaker gave a brief history OF
the organization tracing II from us
formation In 1890. through its incor-
poration in 1894, its struggle to con-
troll the national automobile shows Tia
New York and Chicago, and Its sue
cess up to date.
The advancement OF the cause OF
good roads has received much atten'
ton from the association. with the re-
suit that the National Grange. the
Rural Free Delivery Carriers associa-
ton. the railroads, American Road
Makers. American WheeImen and
other organizations have combined ef-
forts for the cause.
The questions OF freight tarins, I'M
reasonable legislation and federal reg
istretion OF motor vehicles have also
been taken mp.
