one iota of goodwill for the COM
pany."
Speaking on Public Relations"
J. s. S. Richardson, of the Philad--
elphia Public Ledger, maintained
that it should not be necessary for
newspapers to dig up facts about
the public utility business. He de-
clared:
Every public service company
is a veritable mine of interesting
news matter that should be on tap
at all times by applying to some
one in the organization who appre-
ciates the vital relationship exist
ing between a community necessity
and the people who are dependent
upon that necessity. Waiting for
newspapers to ask you for fact is
a bad policy to follow. News pap
ers publish news. Your duty i to
make news of your company read
lily available for them. Hol6ing
back facts until you are forced by
public opinion to relea~e them is
good way to make enemies.
"Change your style of office fur
ture Throw out fro ted windows,
hardwood partitions, iron CAGES and
private offices, and come out in the
open. Tear down everythin" that
has an air of mystery or hocus-
pocus about it. Get the "w9lk N"
spirit; acquire the handshaking
habit.
"Nor form of merchandise al
vertirinG is equal to, or a substitute
for, newspaper advertising; it not
only helps sell goods but incident
ally helps build Goodwill" declar-
ed John +. Weldon, superintendent
of advertising Of the Peoples Gas
LIGHT and Coke Company of Chic
ago. He said in part:
Newspaper space should be
used continuously throughout the
year. Spasmodic advertising ac-
tivities produce onlv spasmodlc re-
suits. KEEPING everlastinGiy at 1t
emphasizes a faith in YOUR instltu-
ton, your service, and your GOODS
that eventually is transferred 10
the public THROUGH the insi -tence
and persistence of your announce
ments.
The sum total of successful COPY
writing is, keep all advertise
ments simple" An advertising man
need not be brilliant. Al The needs
| is rood horse sense, which has been
defined as bein~ full Of stabl" IN
formation. SEEMINGLY c'eNer
headlines and witty phrases do not
sell goods. Advertisements are
news items. The public wants to
know NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. much.
In speaking Of goodwill and
policy advertising, he said the eX--
per~e for these two forms should
not be imposed on merchandise adj
vertising.
"The account should be divi'ed
to Show exactly the expenditure
for each" he advi ed. This also
will help to fix a proper concep-
ton of the advertising expenditure,
as not an evpen but an invest
ment that helps earn a net"
