Dwell. it has been your province. has it, to
place such advertising as the Ford Com
Pany desired in newspapers and periodicals
during these last few years?
@. That is. with the particular papers'
A. Yes. the selection of whether should use
newspapers bliboards, street cars, or do it
direct by letter.
Q. Has the Ford Motor Company, during your
connection as advertising manager, used the
Chicago Tribune advertising medium
of its product
A. We never put out a campaign of newspaper
Ind
cago Tribune.
Q. In the placing of that. however. understand
that you yourself selected or approved The
Tribune. among others, as the advertising
medium?
A. We made the selection absolutely without
consulting anybody outside of our
perience.
Q. And by that you mean primarily yourself?
A.. Myself.
@. In selecting The Tribune as one of the news
papers in which advertising of the Ford
Company should be placed what did you
have in mind?
A. The leading newspaper in the city of Chi
cago, with large circulation and influ-
entail circulation; we'll large circu-
lation in the territory in which we have
number of live. progressive agents; states
of Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Indiana, and Michigan, especially the

E.. Leroy PeIIetier

-
called as a uitness on behalf of Henry Ford, be-
ing first duly slDorn, testified in part foIIoDs
on direct examination by Mr.. Lucking, attorney
for Mr.. Ford:
O. Does The Tribune circulate in the surround
ing territory?
"A. o, yes, for some distance probably covers IA
states.
Q. What territory. principally, does it cover
around Chicago, that you, as an advertis-
ing man. aware of, in placing your ad-
vertising?
A. Well, it covers Illinois and southern Wiscon-
sin, northern Indiana, heavily, should say.
O. Cover any of Iowa2
A. Iowa. eastern Iowa.
@. Cover any of Michigan?
A. 1t covers several states more thinly; it covers
the western part of Michigan pretty heavy,
yes, we'll, in fact, it covers Michigan, have
not the exact figures here, but it has basic
circulation, relatively.
Q. Has it any value in the resort country, so to
speak, north and west of Grand Rapids?
A. o, yes.
Q. And in there, up in the Traverse Bay dis
A. o, yes.
Q. Why do you say that is it from observation?
A. Observation and experience of several years,
probably IL years
O. Is that circulation in through that district of
The Tribune of value to advertisers of auto
mobiles?
A. o. yes. yes.
Q. Is it recognized by them as such?
A. 0, yes, much that the factory always
pays half of it, because of its broad distri-
button, where Chicago papers can only cash
in on half or less than half-the Chicago
territory which would cover probably ten
counties. We consider it in a the Ma
tional media, that is to say, it is one of
few that we consider sufficient to cover ma
tonally.
Q. You mean a different proportion of expense
OF advertising in the Tribune is borne by
the factory?
A. Yes, because of the sales we can make outside
of the territory of the Chicago district.
Q. For instance, your REQ people then recognize
as understand, its value as well as one
more experienced. like yourself, does?
A. Yes
Q. Has Mr.. Benham ever discussed circulation
matters with you?
A. Yes
Q. Michigan circulation of the Tribune?
A. o, yes several states. We figure it covers
twelve to fifteen states, to some extent Of
course, as you get further away from Chi
cago, the influence is less should say, TAX
ing Grand Rapids a sample, it is probably
more influential than the Detroit papers.
Q. Why do you say that1
A. Because of the class of people who take it. A
very excellent class of people buy it, and a
considerable percentage of class of solid
business men, to whom we sell automobiles
in all those places For example, take the
sales manager of the REQ Company at Lam
sing. the only paper he reads is The Chi
cago Tribune, the only one he really reads,
and he says he never missed day. he has
told me that several times Now he would
be typical of CLASS in Lansing that would
read it.
Q. Would you say the class of people the Trib-
une reaches is appropriate to the trade of
automobile advertising?
A. A very large percentage of it, largo per-
centage of it, larger percentage, probably,
of Its total circulation than of the Hearst
papers

MERCY HOME BOARD
 FEARS CONFUSION
Recent Criticism by Gov ernor Leveled at Mercy
 Home Industrial School

The ladies of the Mercy Home board of Birmingham yesterday expressed the fear that the references recently made by Governor kilby regarding state institutions in Birmingham might cause confusion in the public mind re- garding the mercy Home.
 ''The governor in his statement TO- ferred. of course, to the Mercy Home Industrial school, located at Wood lawn" said Mrs. c. B. Spencer, chair man of the Mercy Rome board
 That institution is owned and was organized by the Mercy Home. but it is aided by the state. It was built about eight years ago on land given by the county adjoining the county aims house
 Tt is home for girls of good char acter between the ages of 12 and IS years and it is this institution to which the governor referred
 The Mercy Home proper is a purely local institution, caring for children of Birmingham and Jefferson county and receives no state aid.
 "The ladies of the board of the Mercy Home have asked me to make this statement because they did not wish the impression to be created that the Mercy Home was in any way deserv- ing of the criticism that has been made of the state-aid institution visited hv the governor.

The Civitan club held a very interest ing session at their weekly luncheon yes terday and at it's conclusion the members had better knowledge of each other than when they assembled.

SENATOR SHERMAN
 WASHJNGTON'S BOSS

Washington May 2S.-(Special)-It Is the irony of fate that Senator sherman who has bitterly complained against Washington, and bitterly arralgned the people of Washington. will be chairman of the District of Columbia committee Of the senate
 Senator Sherman doesn't like Washing ton. So critical had he become by the conclusion of the last session of congress that his attitude was the subject Of reso- lutions by all civic associations, and or scathing editorials by local papers. Ana now Sherman is to take charge of Wash- ington.
 The Illinois senator has given notice that Washington, as far as it's tradesmen are concerned-and especially its real es- tate dealers-must reform or suffer the consequences. He has given notice that if another contemplated increase in rents is put into effect he will transfer the capitol to St. IDuis.

Judge Weakley would endeavor to de- prive him of his seat, showed consider able interest, but withheld comment
 The idea seemed to prevail in Alabama circles that Judge Weakley's announce ment was made suddenly with the pur- pose of anticipating that of l.. B. Mus grove. which, according to recent publi- cation in The Age-Herald, was daily ex- pected. MT Musgrove, it was recalled, is all but an announced candidate, one all ready running with the consent and sup port of the Reverend Brooks Lawrence, superintendent of the Alabama Anti-Sa- loon league
 It is known that Mir. Lawrence some days ago completed a tour of the state made for the specific purpose of ascer- taining the strength of MT. Musgrove and that he returned to Birmingham with the report that the Jasper citizen could win.
 Should both Weakley and Musgrove run, the campaign. it is judged from this point, would be interesting. While Sen ator Underwood has not announced his candidacy, there is no question but that at the time he thinks proper, he will do so. The viger of his campaign VIII de pend on the activity of his opponents.

 Perhaps the most famous of all was General Charles P.
