Chaplin Offered Big Contract

Los Angeles, Cal, March Film
producers are bidding again for the
services of Charles Chaplin, whose
contract once more is expiring. A
year ago Chaplin's contract, calling
for asum in the neighborhood of $780,
900, made with Essanay, expired.
Shortly afterward he was working for
the Mutual Film corporation at sal
airy of $3.50, 900 yearly.
Naturally, if another producer now
wants Mr.. Chaplin, he must offer him
more than $670, 1000. II is understood
one producer has made him an offer
of 100000 flat salary. John B.
Freuler, president of Mutual, it is
said, recently conferred with Mr..
Chaplin on the subject Of renewing
his contract, probably at an increase.
Chaplin contracted for twelve pro
auctions for Mutual. He now is CON-
pleting the tenth, entitled "The
Cure"

KNOW VALUE OF ADVERTISING
American Business Firms Have Found
Just How Much Publicity Can Be
Brought to Aid Progress.

"There has been a greater develop
ment in advertising than in any
other phase of American commercial
life in ten years." ii.
So declared Samuel C. Dobbs, for
mer president of the Associated Ad-
vertising Clubs of the World, in an
address before the Toledo organiza-
ton recently. -
knowing Your job" was the
subject of the address. In it Mr..
Dobbs emphasized the Importance Of
a mans spending morning, noon and
night in learning every detail of his
work. 'In no other way can he sue
ceed," Mr.. Dobbs said.
Advertising in this country is
ahead of that in any other part of
the world" the speaker asserted.
Advertising is the great vehicle of
merchandising; it is the producer
Of efficiency. 1t is by means of ad-
vertising that the manufacturer in
Toledo can present his goods to the
man in Texas, and sell them"
Assam indication of the great de-
yelopment in advertising in this
country, Mr.. Dobbs said that a
decade ago there was no such or,
ganization as the Associated Adver-s
tising Clubs of the World. Now it
has 10000 members in this country.
'"Ten years ago a man who sug-
gested teaching advertising in COL
leges and universities would have
been called crazy" he said. To-day
this subject i s taught in fifty-four
American colleges" Toledo Blade.

CHICAGO, Aug. 20.
Considerably selling was In evidence at
the start In the corn market today causing
a decline OF 12c in December, which opened
at s1.1oh to CLIO. The pressure was
caused by the fact that the we,ther was
not so cool as expected over the Western
states last night and that clear and warmer
conditions were predicted over Sunday.
Commission houses had selling orders on a
fairly good scale.
