I recently attended a convention
where were assembled men OF 1n1u-
ence in various activities. CONNER
cial and industrial, of a large state.
Among the speakers whom 1
heard was one who had been travel
ing over the state visiting the va
rious associations of commerce..
These were for the most part in
the larger towns and cities. and l
think he said that there were in
that state as many as rs Of them.
This was the thing that impress
ed me most: He said that nearly
every one of the organizations had
undergone an actual or virtual re-
organization in recent years.
He said there was a time when
it was thought that n chief reason
for associations of commerce was
to raise money to pay bonuses to
factories to locate there, and that
when a factory had been lured away
from one town to another by the
payment of a larger bonus the sue
cessful town strutted with new
pride and passed a vote of thanks
to the board of trade or chamber
of that had secured the
money and the factory.
But that was not the most i'm
portant thing, he said. He said that
manufacturers, in locating an enter
prise, cared lass for any bonus that
was likely to be paid than they did
for good living conditions for their
employees. He said that ~contented
labor was a vastly larger problem
than the securing of a cash bonus,
and that one way to secur content
ed labor was to provide good schools
and wholesome living conditions.
He said, therefore, that now COM
mercial associations quite generally
understand that the greatest posi-
BILE use of commercial organizations
to their respective cities is in maxi

Advertising.

About go per cent of all business
industry is interested in some meas
ure in advertising. They are inter-
ested in the results to be obtained
and the methods to be employed. In
this connection, it is interesting to
note the remarks of Herman Rosen-
field, advertising manager for Sears,
Roebuck G. Company, one of the larg-
est mail order houses in the world,
and one of the chief competitors of
local merchants, in recent address:
Mr.. Dosenfeld said in part:
"We have bureau whose duty it
is to read each week the country
newspapers from all over the coun-
Try. There is not a paper of any
consequence in our territory that our
bureau does not get. This bureau
looks over these papers and when we
find a town where the merchants are
not advertising in the local paper we
Immediately flood that territory with
our literature. 1t always brings re-
suits far in excess of the same effort
put forth in territory where the To-
cal merchants use their local papers" "
The moral of this statement is too
apparent for elaboration. The moral
may be stated in the words of Mark
Twain, who is said to have received
note from one of his subscribers
while editing a Missouri newspaper
stating that the subscriber had found
spider in his paper, and inquirlng
the meaning Of it. Mark replied:
Finding a spider in your paper
was neither good luck nor bad luck
for you. The spider was merely look
ing over our paper to see which mer'
chant is not advertising, so that he
can &C to that store, spin his wei
across the door and lead a life OF
undisturbed peace ever thereafter
