 ADVERTISING

National advertising is only local advertising very much multiplied.
 Goods are not sold to the Ma tton-But to the people in the Nation.
 Each person Is a unit and must be reached as such.
 The greatest medium for reaching the people at the right moment is the daily newspaper.
 Whatever other mediums ad- yertisers may use-they must in the last analysis use the news papers directly or indirectly.
 Many wise National advertis- CTS now use the daily newspapers in large volume, because through them they not only reach the people but also inspire confidence in the distributors of their goods.
 National advertisers interested in ways of making their adver- tisinG more productive are in- yited to address the Bureau of Advertising. American News paper Publishers Association, s06 World Building. New York.
