Opening his address, Mr.. Holder

his pride in the state and of his

himself as ignorant or careless in

clap-trap methods in its advertising
when there is always the dignified
invitation that can be rugged up with
pulling power.
You will observe I have been pro.
ceeding on the theory that building
greater and better communities
through advertising is a proposition
worthy of the best thought, of the
best men in the community, and de-
serving of the financial support of
every tax payer. You will observe
/ have been proceeding on the theory
that the Chamber of Commerce is
composed Of the city's best citizens.
and represents the entire citizenship.
l hold to the idea that obtains in
many European cities where the
Chamber of Commerce is of sufficient
Importance to be maintained by
taxation.
The Chamber of Commerce, no
more than any other civic organiza-
ton can develop city by advertising
unless it is prepared to deliver the
goods. The Associated Advertising
Clubs Of the World has for it's motto
Truth in Advertising The funda-
mental law in advertising is that the
article must be all that it claimed fol
it. The merchant who wishes to MAJ
ket chewing gun, cigarette, or a
soft drink makes sure he has an ar
ticle that will be repeater before he
decides to put millions into it's ex-
ploitation.
First. be sure your city is right.
Your city is right, if YOUR citizens
are right. Your citizens are right
if they have loyalty and pride, and
are willing to dare and do for the
public well. God gives the location.
the government gives the name, the
weather just comes along, but great
people make the city great. Show me

let me see a few issues of the local
newspapers, and I will tell you what
manner of city it is.
What St. Louis is Doing.
have been on the advisory board
of the Chamber of Commerce in the
city of St. Louis for the past -four
years, and I have seen results from an
advertising campaign that give me
confidence to speak on this subject.
For period all too long, St. Louis.
always great and solid city. seemed
to be at a standstill. A little while
ago, plan such as have outlined to
you was adopted, and results came
at an amazing speed. If you have
been there recently, you have seen
the city growing in every direction.
This growth was retarded little by
the war, but the campaign is on
again, and St. Louis will have popu-
lation in 1920, greater by 100000 than
it had in 1919.

ADOPT FOUNDING BABY.

Chicago, Oct. 18.-William D. Nc
Junkin, head of the advertising
agency Of the same name, this week
adopted luxuriously outfitted baby,
mysteriously left on the porch of his
home with a note from the unknown
omther, who asserted that the in
fant's father was killed overseas,
that she did not now dare announce
her secret marriage to her parents,
and that her father at one time was
a client of the McJunkin agency.
All of the McJunkins children now
having married and left home, Mr..
and Mrs. McJunkin have accepted

analysed its field. A high class
counsellor was employed, and liberal
use made of the public press. Inquir-
les were followed up with booklets,
circulars and personal calls and a
splendid cooperation was affected
among the various civic organiza-
IONS, so that no opportunity was
lost Tor cashing in whenever there
was prospect of locating a new fac
tory, new agency, or any new line
of business.
Beginning January LIST, we are
going to spend $4,000 in an intensi-
fled municipal advertisig campaign
for industries and foreign trade. Of
TINS sum the citv of St. Louis contri
buted $4,000. the Advertising Club
and the Chamber Of Commerce rails
ing like amount. BY way of initial
preparation. an engineering firm was
engaged to make an industrial survey.
Five thousand dollars was paid for
this survey which is the expert
ground work for an appeal through
advertising. In other words, we now
know our city in terms of exact in
dustrial figures. This enables US to
follow our one dominant selling idea.
mentioning other city attributes only
incidentally, for this. after all is the
KEY note to successful city advertis-
ing.
City Has Many Attractions.
l believe Pine Bluff has much to
attract and much to advertise. I be-
lleve Pine Bluff can become the
greatest city in the state. You have
great spirit and large business: YOU
have delightful and happy children.
prosperous middle-aged men and
women, and comfortable old people.
You have climate that averages
we'll and makes living pleasurable.
Here, toll is honorable and we'll re.
Quilted: With you recreation is
plentiful and education within the
reach of all. You have transporta-
ton by water and rail. You have
room in your hearts and on your
acres for all who may wish to come.
And now, in conclusion, l thank
you for the honor you have done me,
and the pleasure you have given me.
AS a native son, I shall always watch
with pride the progress of Arkansas,
and particularly this delightful city.
Sometimes it has seemed an unkind
fate that has led me forth among
strange people to seek my private
fortune. have never wandered far
enough to forget my home people. and
the noise and din of "the madding
throng in it's ignoble strife" has
never drowned the wee small voice
that calls me ever homeward.
I still hope that fortune will so
favor me during the productive years
of my life, so that when old age lays
his unsteady hand upon me, l may
return to my sweet home. be it
humble as it may, and l shall be
happy to sit at eventide. when the
whippoorwill calls and all the earth
seems at peace, to live in reminis-
cence over the long and hazardous
journey, and to feed my soul on the
