Talks Given by Rev. W. G. Crowder,
Cutler Abbott, and e. p. Miller.

At the regular meeting of the local
ad club, held Wednesday evening at the
Marshalltown Club, discussion on sari-
Gus varieties of advertising was con-
tnued. Three interesting talks on 'tif-
ferent phases of publicity We're given,
and all proved worth while, Rev. w. c.
Crowder, pastor of the local Methodist
church. told Of his first impressions of
advertising on coming to this country
from England, and spoke of the work a
church had to do along advertising
lines. Rev. Mr. Crowder stated that adj
vertisinS was just as important in a
church as in a business, the only diff
ference being in the form in which it
was presented to the people,
Store Service" was the title of the
subject on which Cutler Abbott spoke.
Mr.. Abbott told Of the service given
customers in certain stores, and ex-
planned in detail the trouble and care
which is exercised in order that GUS
toners may be given every advantage.
and thus encouraged to buy. Store
service is as much part of a success
full firms advertising as anything else.
said Mr.. Abbott. r. p. Miller wrote a
dry goods advertisement according to
his own ideas. and told the club men,
bers what he believed essential to good
advertising.

Commission to Mako Survey, Plan
and Estimate-WouId Share Cost.

Plans for the permanently graded
and graveled road to Marietta and
Albion, and the mile of permanent road
at the C. NJ. & ST. P. crossing of the
South Center street road in Jefferson
township, have been submitted to the
state highway commission by County
Engineer Hickok. Plans for the per-
manent road work in the East Main
street and North Third avenue roads
will be finished and submitted to the
commission in short time.
The approval of the highway COM
mission for all of the details of this
work must be received before the
county can advertise for bids.
Proposes Underground Crossing.
An important detail in the road to
Marietta has Just been proposed and
The state highway commission, thru
C. Coykendall, its district engineer, has
suggested an underground crossing for
the M. & st. L. right -of-way in sum
NIT street. just west of the CITY, The
proposal has been made provided 1t is
satisfactory to the board Of super
visors, which have given their assent
that a resurvey and plan be made with
an estimate of the cost. The commits
sion suggested the underground cross
ing Of the right-ofway instead of the
crossing at grade at this time because
a permanent road was to be built.
The commission will send an en-
gineer here to make the survey and
will prepare the plan The supervisors
are willing that the county should pay
a share Of the cost and the highway
commission, working thru the railroad
commission, will induce the NJ. & st. L.
to bear the rest of the expense. An
underground crossing at this place
would eliminate the grade crossing on
the side Of hill.
County Engineer Hickok expects to
have plans ready so that bids for the
permanent road work can be received
by about April Is.
