ORIGINAL WOODHEAD MAN
Mr. Green, the original ''Woodhead
man for president" told the story of
Mr.. Woodhead's candidacy for the first
time last night. Mr. Green attended
the ceremonies attending the lavine of
the corner stone of the advertising
building in Chicago five months ago
In the line of the parade he marched
with President George w Coleman
Coleman asked Green his idea of a
likely candidate. Green answered the
man of all men to give prestige and
power to the organization during a
new regime was a San Franciscan. He
promised to let Coleman know inme-
diately after he could confer with
Woodhead.
You're crazy" is the reply Wood
head is said to have made at first to
Green's suggestion. But Coleman was
for him and Woodhead decided to get
in the game. Then Green wrote a per
sonal letter TO the editor of Printers
Ink. The editor cut out the personal
sentences in Green's letter and pub
lished the rest as an official announce
ment and boost for the San Francisco
candidate. What followed is history.
The success attending Mr.. Wood
heads speech making tour of the east
ern cities following his election is un-
precedented," Mr.. Green declared He
made a wonderful impression and the
science of advertising and the truth
in advertising has never made such
great strides as 1t mas sihce Wood
heads election, and as it will continue
to make during his career as presi-
dent"
