BANKERS BELIEVE
IN advertising.
Well Planned Advertising
Considered an Asset; Is
One of Fundamentals
of Credit.

| CHICAGO. n.-Advertising is one
of the fundamentals Of credit, F. Guy
Davis, western manager of the Am
erican Newspaper Publishers Associ-
alton told a convention of statesmen
here today
! John Fletcher, the Chicago Bank
ers, cannot understand why it is that
the impression has got around that
the banker is opposed to advertising"
| Mr.. Davis said Indeed he insists
on the direct contrary that advertising
really has a vital relation 10 credit.
Mr.. Fletcher in recent interview
with me said: Bankers have always
considered we'll planned advertising as
an asset. But il is only comparatively
lately that they have come to regard
ii as one of the determining factors
in the extension Of credit The for
that produces selling reputation is ad-
vertising. Advertising therefore is real
ly one of the fundamentals of credit.
The old idea of requiring a business
man to have several dollars for every
one that he borrows is no longer the
exclusive consideration. He may have
the dollars and still not get the loan
even in normal times. The man him
self, his ability, the way he talks,
his understanding Of his business,
his enthusiasm, yes, and even his
belief in advertising all enter into the
calculation more than many people
believe
Logic Back of Course.
In further discussing advertising
Mr.. Fletcher said, there is a marked
tendency toward the concentration of
ADVERTISING and selling effort on par
ticular territories where analysis has
shown the most favorable market to
lie. In analysing this idea he said:
There is logic back of this course,
but in the general prosperity of past
years when selling conditions were
easy, careful study OF markets was
not always made. In these days, how
ever. advertising must be welded
more clo1ly TO the efforts OF the
personal salesman than ever before.
III many cases tOuay tnc cnOlce oI
advertising media is determined by
this consideration alone. | might
mention the daily newspapers by way
of illustration. If an important news
message relating TO price or policy
changes is to be gotten over quickly
to 4 large field, not even the mails
can match the newspapers for speed
and thoroughness."
Mr.. Fletcher also brings up an
other interesting point. He says: The
drop in commodity prices is bringing
back into the buying field the thought
ful, reading. discriminating people
of fixed income who have always
been the back. bone of the market for
quality goods at fair prices. Adver
tsing has always played its important
part in the cultivation OF this marKet
and ii will play an increasingly inn
portant part in the future for reasons
which are obvious to the serious stu
dent OF business conditions

Mo. Mr.. Newman was a victim of
stomach trouble in its worst form but
was completely restored to health by
ia king Tanlac. He says:
ANYONE who has stomach trouble
can surely get the results they are
looking for by taking Tanlac. I had
an awful bad case of stomach trouble
and nervousness. couldn't even walk
UP the stairs without stopping to
rest.
''Tanlac proved to be the very thing
I needed L am SO strong and full OF
energy that my work is no trouble
for me-"
Undigested food ferments in the
stomach and soon the entire system is
filled with poisons, Tanlac was de-
signed to restore the stomach to a
healthy condition and build up the
whole body. Millions everywhere have
acclaimed its wonderful power. Get
