H. w. HARRINGTON
PASSES CHANCE
TO HEAD ADMEN

Howard w. Harrington, advertis-
ing manager of the Moline Plow
company, is popular among the
members of the Associated Adver-
Using Clubs of the World and
would have a good chance of cleo
ton to the presidency of that body
if he would declare himself a can
didate, according to William H.
briggs, Moline, who has just re-
turned from the convention Of the
clubs in Milwaukee.
Mr.. briggs, however, is of the
opinion that Mr.. Harrington will
decline the office. He is at present
devoting his energies to acting as
campaign manager for Charles
Henry Macintosh, president and
candidate for reelection.
Some people have the idea that
convention is simply a place
where men go for good time"
said Mr.. briggs. But this conven-
ton is a school and those at it are
kept busy learning new things
about their jobs"
Mr.. briggs praised the spirit of
Milwaukee and the splendid enter
tainment accorded the 1900 dele
gates.
THE men who have attended
this meeting are going to come back
with a higher idea of the mission
of Advertising Mr.. briggs con-
cluded.
