Better Business Bureaus
Aid Retailers to Maintain
Integrity Of AdycrtiSjnc


untruthful advertising on the part of an
individual merchant not only hurts the store
which advertiSes in such a manner but all
other stores in that community.
: There is a definite responsibility on each
local advertiser, not only from his own stand
point, but from that of the community as a
whole, to maintain the integrity Of advertis-
ing. The value of advertising depends on
reader confidence, and any influence tending
to undermine that confidence strikes either
directly or indirectly at every concern using
white space. 1T is not stretch OF magma
ton TO say that national advertiser in
city two thousands miles away from Il local
retail advertiser can determine the confidence
IN advertising of the people in the retailers
community who read the national advertisers
copy in some magazine with circulation in
that, community.
Retailers frequently are interested in tho
organization OF trade trips, sometimes called
rooster trips, for the purpose OF bringing
trade into city from the surrounding terri
tory. In other words the purpose of such a
trip is to build confidence in the city as
desirable place to trade. but how about
maintaining and protecting that confidence?
When YOU induce the farmer and his wife to
Gene to your city to trade rather than to
some other point. they are Influenced by the
advertising in your city. The local retailer
d" himself has no means of seeing that thew
trade only with stores advertising under n
reputable policy. In other words, the conf
dcncc built by trade trip may be under
mined and damaged through failure to elimi-
nate misleading and fraudulent advertising in
the city in question The local better busj-
ness bureau solves the problem for the re
talers.

The fundamentals Convention

inc more that is heard of the Brass Tacks
Convention,i the bigger it seems to have
been 1t was big in numbers with 2SI1
registered delegates But its higness did not
consist in number only or chiefly
1t was big in the caliber of many of the
men who attended it. and pre-cminently so in
those who were selected TO speak to the Con-
vention.
1t was big in the subjects discussed. These
included many of vital importance 10 the adj
vfrtising business and those who heard the
addresses and discussions had much TO carry
home with them TO be used in advancing their
own business.
This Convention was the biggest ever held
by the Advertising Clubs. Some times the
chief thought seems TO have been amusement
and fun, but this time the men went with the
determination 10 get down TO brass tacks''
and attend TO business
one great point made and carried out in
the Convention was that every session should
begin on time and close time When =
speaker began the doors were closed and no
one was admitted 10 the hall until he had
finished his speech. Result: men were
prompt and neither speaker nor hearers were
interrupted

prevent the selecting place under enthu-
siasm which would he far away from many OF
,hc Clubs. 1t might open the way for the es-
adjustment OF Il prominent exhibit of meth
OBS, means and materials for advertising.
On the other hand there are some serious
objections 10 this plan. There is Il special
interest III going to new place which could
not be carried through five years. There
are many men who will go to new place
who would not be much tempted to go where
they had been several times.
Much OF the success of convention of any
kind is due to the enthusiasm of the host city.
An enthusiastic welcome will last through
one convention and spur the members TO en-
thusasm, but it is hardly probable that this
could be kept up for five years.
If permanent exhibit should be cstab-
lished, 1t would be expensive matter to
maintain it, and in these fast moving days,
it would soon be out of date.
one great advantage in the conventions Is
the missionary work that is done for the ad-
yerlising business in the city and community
in which they held. 1t is a good thing
to distribute this influence as widely as pos
siblc.
Many men will go to a convention that is
least, to one that is held far away. When
the convention comes near to them they will
attend. and it may be they will follow it mex;
time when it is farther away.
Variety i'll location. in surroundings in
welcome, in hospitality, is an asset that should
not be thrown away.

that in the Graphic Arts section were some

The Financial section was perhaps the
largest OF all the exhibits and many new

engaged in jottins down notes to apply back

The exhibit was housed in the Indiana State
House, and one could revcl for hours in the
wealth OF advertising material assembled in
Its stately halls. Charles II. Macintosh was
chairman OF the Exhibit Committee and he

JUDGE KIMBROUGH
ACCEPTS PROFESSORSHIP
AT STATE UNIVERSITY

1t is settled that Judge Kimbrough
and family will go to Oxford. But
we feel that it is only loan, as he
has not sold his home and his busi-
ness interests are still here. The
tempting salary, Of course, has its at
fractions, as well as the opportunity
to educate his sons at home while
taking university course.
1t is with sincere regret that the
Leader bids goodbye to the Kim
brought family. They are strong, well
poised people, who are always on the
side of right and morality. Their
place here cannot be filled and we
truly hope their removal may not be
permanent.
The faculty of the University is
strengthened in the accession of Judge
Kimbrough to its ranks not only in
his legal knowledge but in his fine
ideals and characteristics. West

JACK DEMPSEY KNOCKS OUT
MISkE IN THE THIRD ROUND

Benton Harbor, Mich, Sept. g.
Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion
of the world, demonstrated today that
he still retains the terrific punch that
won him the title. He knocked out
Billy Miske of st. Paul, a fighter as
big and game as himself, in the third
round of their 10-round match. Three
hard smashes were sufficient to win
him between $4,000 and 100000, his
so per cent. of the gate receipts.
At the start of the fight, his first in
IA months, Dempsey peeled off the
same worn and patched red sweater
that he wore when he knocked out
Jess Willard. His face wore the same
| fighting frown, he danced about the
ring with old-time ight-footedness
and finished up by taking the fight ir
the third round, just as he did al
I Toledo. The third round went one
minute and 13 seconds.
Miske went down three times in
less than two and one-half rounds OF
fighting. In the second he measured
his length on the floor for the count
of five. In the fatal third, driven tC
his corner under a rain of lefts anc
rights to the stomach and chin, the
challenger took the count of nine, ant
had just regained his feet wher
Dempsey, carefully measuring his dis
tance, finished the bout with a right
hand punch to the chin.
The fight was watched by one of Tho
most orderly crowds on record at ,
championship match. Women il
bright clothing were scattered
through the audience from the ring
side to the back fence, where the,
lperched alongside the wicked barbet
wires and outshone some of the sign
boards in attracting attention.
