Every now and then some letter friend

on that subject. Not because 1t isn't

anything about 1t was superfluous.

Of the many obligations which people

Eberhard said that, ne Judged from
what he had seen Of the local ncws.
papers that there are very few iner.
chants in Honolulu, that know how to
advertise. He discussed the technique
Of the advertising trade. such matters
as color, blending, the proportion Of
white spacing TO. print, values Of tops,
centers and bottoms, and borders.
Borders, p he said are principally
useful to kill advertising.n
Another thing that Eberhard am.
phasized was theAnse of appropriate
eolorsi on labels. In the canned goods
trade color is all-important, he said,
because people seat with their eyes
and tho wrong color combinations will
repel customers. ie.4& AtGG aa
Speaking Of Honolulu Eberhard said
he was much disappointed In the city
because there was a lack Of local cat

time and grey matter on the tourist

spend more money away from home
than tlsy can afford.
