ADVERTISING IS
 EXPLAINED BY A
 WOMAN WRITER
Declares Arkansas Not We'll Advertised in Talk to
 Ad Men

Advertising-its benefits to human ity, as well as it's power to create de-
 mand--was discussed intelligently and interestingly for 30 minutes yes terday by Miss Minnie Buzbce, of Little Rock, before the members of the Pine Bluff Ad Club, in session at the Jefferson Hotel. Miss Buzbee
 who is advertising manager of the American Bank and Trust Company
 held the closest attention of her au- ditors, and was given rising vote of
 thanks for her visit and address.
 The meeting yesterday possessed
 another featurea violin solo bN
 Charles Sylvester, son of Ben Sylves-
 ter, and regarded as one of the most
 promising of the young violinists MT. Sylvester received liberal ap- plause for his artistic work.
 "The man on the corner who be-.
 lieves that he can get along without
 advertising in these days" said Miss Buzbee at one point in her address, \ I"had better get his Bible and read pthe story of Joseph. You know, Jos eph was in high favor in Pharaoh's s reign. Then there is this cryptic sentence, Then, there came a king who knew not Joseph Joseph had to get out, because he had not been ad- vertised to the new king.
 The selling power of advertising she said, has been demonstrated time and again, but never more impress | -:..r1..s 4l.~x s.. xLo. sr1n <e xy,.: rlnx,Sc
 gum, sales of which increased GA per cent last year, without an increase l in price. It's educational and civiliz- 1 ing influence has been proved, and men and women today enjoy the use of labor saving devices sold to them l through advertising, which first ed ucated them on the value of the de- vices. She cited such articles as vacuum cleaners, electric irons, wash | ing machines and electric stoves, and other things tightening the burdens
 of housewives, and which they were 1 induced to use through advertising
 "But for advertising years would elapse before the advantages of a
 new invention became generally known, Because of advertising the
 man in Montana and the man in Maine will be found driving the same kind of car, and wearing the same
 style clothes.
 Makes Practical Illustration
 l To obtain the best benefits from 1 advertising, she declared, it must be 1 continuous. Tt is like pouring hot 1 water into basin of lukewarm wa l ter As long as you pour the water in the basin continues to rise in tenn perature, but if you stop, the water
 soon becomes cold. Continue adver- tising and you maintain interest, stop
 and the enthusiasm and sales soon

cease" She cited instances showing that many people who profess they "never read advertisements" are real. fly influenced inmost of their buying by newspaper advertising.
 Miss Buzbee urged the local cIut to give publicity to the opportunities offered in the profession Of advertis- ing, emphasizing that women particu- larly should be attracted to this work She mentioned several women who have made notable successes in ad- .vcrtising, including the advertising manager for Hart, Schaffner & Mar, and 2O-year-old girl who spends more than million dollars annually advertising the products of an oil company of New York.
 That California is better knowr throughout the nation than Arkansas is due entirely to the fact that Cali fornia is widely advertised favorably and Arkansas is not. Miss Buzbes points out. Though Arkansas ad vantages are superior but few outside sitV StN W 0AC %SQudAHLcu WILT JucLl and most people believe we are stil fighting Indians, and hunting buffalt she said. She urged the advertising men to stimulate interest in state anc community advertising.
 w. N. Trulock, thanking Miss Bug bee on behalf of the club, declared ht derived more benefit from her ad dress than from any delivered before l. the Ad club.
 Five were elected to membership Miss Elsie Loomis of the Davis Flora company; J. L. Longino, manager o1 the Pine Bluff Company; w. H. Rob erts, photographer; Carl Mercks, pro prietor of the Jefferson Hotel and R F. Rothrock, proprietor of the 121: Tire Company.
 Next Thursdays meeting of tht club will be at the Hotel Pines, and will be featured by the first lecture of the six months course of advertis. ing study. This will be by Dr. Johr H Moore, who speaks on "Psychol. ogy," and the following week Jack Bernhardt will speak on Psychology as Applied to Advertising"

 Record for City

Enrolment in the Pine Bluff pub lie schools reached figures, Thurs day that approximate the total en- rollment of last year, Professor J Jordan announced.
 The total number of white pupils enrolled was 2522, in the colored school 663,, making total for all the schools of 3,185.
