BODY

The adoption OF a permanent organ.
cation was effected at the drst meeting
Of the Classified Advertising association,
when thirty-hve members met yesterda =
In the BOARD Of Trade building.
The plans for the permanent organiza-
ton were formulated at 4 meeting IA
Chicago a month ago, in view Of pro-
noting better and bigger classified sec
tons of newspapers.
The afternoon session was conducted
by c. W. Max of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. who spoke on Rates and
Revenues"
The opinion Of the majority of The
members present was that the advertls-
ing rates Of classified and display STAGE
should be the same, as classified space
is just as preferable as display.
Those using a paper daily for advcr-
Using should get 4 better rate, mem
hers decided. than the one time advcr-
tiser and opinions were expressed that
bulk contracts are more undesirable for
newspapers than it is desirable.
A resolution was adopted, after n
lengthy discussion, that a discount
should be made on all orders accom-
panied by the cash, being held that all
collection and booking charges could
thus be eliminated.
The STANDARDIZATION of abbreviaticp
was the principal discussion of the evel
Ing session which Was conducted by L.

SPEAKERS PRAISE
POSTER RESULTS

Posters used by a large clothing manu-
featuring concern 10 influence service men
who were eager 70 get back into civilian
clothing were such marked success that
the concern is taking up the use OF post
ers 10 a much larger extent, Roger
Myhrum Of George Enos Thropp, Inc.
OF Chicago said In speaking before the
Poster Advertising association.
For years this arm doubted the ad-
Visibility Of poster advertising. but fol
lowing its experience with the soldier
trade. IL decided that poster advertising
was the thing" the speaker continued.
Having had time to investigate post
ing and the results therefrom. the com
pany purchased this spring 5000 TWEEN
ty-four sheets for the spring posting.
The store became thereby one Of the
largest users OF the poster advertising"
In his address before the association
Leonard Dryfuss OF the United Adver-
Using Corporation Of New York stated
that posters are now n particularly
effective medium for the local merchant,
because large classes OF working people,
who do not have the reading habit. read
them.
These people are attracted by the
large posters and this method of adj
vertising readily appeals to them he
said.
Experiences Of other large firms. such
as Wilson & Co. Chicago; the Palmolive
Soap Company. international Harvester
Company Waterman Fountain Pen Com
pany American Chicle Company and
others, with poster advertising. were
given ut the meeting.
