BEST ADV. MEDIUMS
Detroit Expert Says News
paper Publicity Pays

Newspapers are easily the best me-
dunn for advertising, according to
Frank c. Campbell, Detroit business
public expert, who addressed the men,
bers of the Saginaw Ad club at their
luncheon meeting at the Hotel Vincent
last evening Mr.. Campbell discussed
all kinds of advertisng-newspaper,
magazine, billboard, street car and cir
cular letter-analyzed them all and sum-
med up with the declaration that for
highest efficiency and greatest results
newspaper advertising leads all other
kinds.
In support of this statement Mr..
Campbell pointed out the fact that the
newspapers carry the merchants adver-
tising into the homes where it is read
at leisure and with a care that insures
results. Even newspaper advertising
cannot be successful, however, the
speaker said, unless it has back of it the
advertisers honesty of purpose and is
pursued with persistency.
What the merchant expects from ad-
vertising and what he gets from it" the
speaker said, depend entirely ON the
methods and the system behind the ad-
vertisements. He urged systematic and
persistent advertising as the kind that
brings the most business and named
clearness of expression as one of the
first requisites in the efficient adver-
tisennent.

Clean Up Day at Bonnie Tcrrc

Monday, May 18th, was clean up day
for the people Of Bonnie TER and most
of the lovers of clean and beautiful
city took advantage of the opportuu-
ity to get rid Of the rubbish and trash
that had collected since the last clean
up day year ago. The Commercial
Club of Bonnie Tcrrc that recently
has taken on a new life, was at the
head of the movement and had plan
ed everything so that the people had
only TO collect the trash and after
burning all that could he burned, place
the remainder in barrels, sacks or
anything movable, and put these in
places to which wagons had access.
On Monday wagons went around and
hauled all Of this trash away to the
trash-dump west of town. If every
one will get in line and unite in such
movements there will be less sick
ness, fewer flies, and our town will be
the beautiful town it should be and we
could speak of it with much pride
and refer to it as the best little town
in the state for cleanliness and sanity.
