Bogus Ads Weaken
Pulling Power Of
ALI Advertising

CHICAGO, April 29-Reject all forms
Of Objectionable advertising-the quacks
and fakers-and there will bo more ad-
vertisers and quicker results. William
Woodhead OF San Francisco, president
Of the Associated Advertising Club OF
the World. told members OF the Assoeia-
tion OF Commerce I'm an address yester-
day. Mr.. Woodhead is In Chicago 20 ar
range for the world convention OF Adver-
tising clubs to be held here In June. 1t
is expected that more than 1000 adver-
tislng experts from all nations will be IN
attendance.
The greatest enemy TO successful
advertising and successful business ID
the quack and the faker and the more
money they contribute the greater the
loss" Mr.. Woodhead said
Every time a man OF woman is cheated
by a bogus advertisement. the pulling
power OF all advertising Ii much weak
ened. because the faker and the publisher
have taught Just so many more people 70
distrust all advertising. There will be
more advertisers, and they will get more
and quicker results when the quaeka
and takers are driven out OF business.
why is II that advertising stands on a
much higher plane than II did few
years ago?
Because in its early days advertising
was unwOrthily used In the promotion OF
almost every sort OF fraud and people
looked askRnce upon anything that wAa
advertised. but nowadays II has acquired
a new dignity and strength. Sincerity
and honesty are paying bigger dividends
that ever before.
The Associated Advertising Clubs of
tho World has taken for It's slogan It's
motto, Truth In Advertising.
Mr. Woodhead said that forty-six years
ago there were about 5000 publications OF
all kinds in the United States. ana that
today there were more than 5000. lie
estimated that more than teOOOO.OOO was
spent in advertising in this country last
year. which. he said. was proof not only
Of its marvellous growth. but OF the
wonderful results achieved.
