campaign for socially efficient publicity.
This symbol. or seal of the association.
is An outline of the two Americas across
which the word Truth" is written in
large letters.
The association has united men in all
the branches OF advertising in the COM
mon cause This cooperation includes
the newspaper, magazine, outdoor. street
car. trade paper and specially advertising
men. These men in turn have obtained
the cooperation of their clients ann
firms and of many Of the adyertisine
mediums. In support of their work a
great number of the country.s leading
magazines and the better class newspa-
pers are refusing to accept advertise
ments which are designed for the abuse
OF the public trust. Some Of the national
magazines have gone so far as to guar
antee their readers from loss through
accepting advertisements appearing in
,heir incl, pages at their face value. This pub
lication keeps faith with the public by
refusing to use fraudulent lying or even
exaggerated advertisements
While an appreciable amount has been
accomplished through the efforts of busi-
ness men interested in the general adop
ton OF honest advertising methods, the
out-and-out faker can only be cured with
a club in the shape of laws by which the
misleading advertisement may be made
to react upon the advertiser in the way
of fines and Jail sentences. In some
states such laws have been obtained In
most of the states. however where 1egis-
lation for the proper regulation of the
business of advertising still remains to be
passed. educational work is being done to
induce the people to demand the laws.
Educational work done by the associa-
ton will probably be the most productive
in the ranks of tho advertising workers,
in that the younger men in the field are
being trained to strive for social eff
cheney. They are being taught that sue
cessful advertising means the most thor
ough possible dissemination of interesting
and truthful Information concerning
things for sale. A cooperative gather
ing and study Of advertising data are be-
ing made. with q view to the determine
ton OF the most effective advertising
methods. This research work il to be
made nation wide by the association. and
the information obtained will likely re-
suit in a significant curtailing of purely
mechanical waste.

the Associated Advertising Clubs of
America have developed a powerful ma
ehinery for the accomplishment of their
purpose. An advertising comparable in
efficiency to the production of the mod
ern factory is to be brought about
through the cooperation of the best
magazines, newspapers. manufacturers,
dealers and advertising men. The OBJ
)ect OF the Campaign is to bring the man
interested In the promotion of legiti-
mate business to see that his own pur-
pose is served best by the employment
OF truthful publicity and by a general
constraint. compelling all of his com
petltors to be likewise honest.
There are about 10000 advertising men
organized in more than 130 local clubs

realize that the business of bringing the

The Associated Advertising Clubs of
America was established as a national
organization at Chicago in 1905. During
the first years of its existence, it had
little success in awakening the interest
OF advertising men and drawing them
into its membership. But. with the
adoption of a broad social program as
with its declaration for honest adver-
tising and the projection of a campaign
for the eradication of the dishonest
features Of the business. it muitipliedsin
strength. the enthusiasm Of its members
grew and the organizations effective
ness became assured.
The associations influence and power
increased with the activities Of its MEM
bers throughout the country for truth
and honesty in advertising The business
was to be reformed from within before
the public became aware of its suf-
ferings through advertising abuses and
should make insistent demand for the
suppression of deception. The work to
eliminate the faker and the almost-fake
from this field began to catch the at
tention of the people generally, although
the full Importance of the benefits to
be gained all around was seldom appre-
ciated.

Discomfort Has Been Bred.

This is particularly true in our cities.
We have bred a discomfort with the con-
ditions of our common life that are in
harmonious with our national idealism.
We are impatient with defects in our
civilization that affront our common
sense and decency. We are conscious of
new power to deal effectively with
these conditions-the power OF co-opera-
tior through government.
These are the Influences back of the
efficient city government movement in
America. These are the influences un-
deriying the commission government
movement. which is a movement not 50
much to change the form of city govern
ment. but to arouse il from its lethargy
and to put it to work. CITY government
has been touched by the new American

old political and transcendental idealism
