That paid advertising is taking a
prominent place in government coun-
ellis was shown by the presence in
Washington yesterday OF William H.
Rankin. of Chicago. one of the big
leaders among the advertising men of
the United States.
Mr.. Rankin, who is president of the
William H. Rankin Co, was the first
man to suggest paid advertising to
government officials at the outset of
the war. II was Mr.. Rankin who laid
the foundation for the Red Cross and
Liberty Loan advertising on the basis
that patriotic business men should
pay for government advertising dur
ing the war. This plan resulted in
millions Of dollars worth OF advertis-
ing of war enterprises without cost to
the government. Mr.. Rankin was here
yesterday at the invitation Of high
government officials who wished his
counsel on advertising matters.
At the conclusion of war advertis-
ing activities. Carl Byoir. associate
chairman Committee on Public Infor-
nation, said:
If I were asked to name the man,
who, without title Of honor or distinc-
ton, devoted himself most completely
to the service Of wartime advertising.
I could not honestly mention any

other name than that Of William H.

When asked what was the best
thing citizens could do to help their
home town, MIR. Rankin said: Back
up. the daily newspapers. The future
of n city depends on the strength and
circulation of its daily newspapers.
Get behind them. Help them to get
subscribers and get every merchant
in this city to advertise in these pa.
pers regularly: it will build business
for them. and the newspapers will
