JOINING HANDS

Leather makers have banded together and conduct
ing big advertising campaign with the slogan: Nothing
takes the place of leather"
These ads signed not by any individual firm, but by
the national organization of leather tanners.
Tanners used to fight each other to get big share
possible Of the business available Now confronted by
rapidly increasing of leather substitutes they find it
wise to band together bury the and unite against the
common enemy-substitutes.
This leather campaign typical of decided change that
is taking place in advertising and general craftsmanship
For instance, you ad put out by cement makers
united insisting that concrete is the ideal building material
You turn page and find similar claim for wood Another
and the plea is advanced in behalf of brick.
These ads signed by groups of manufacturers by
organizations that include whole trade industry.
Many other commodities being advertised the
California oranges rasins and public utilities
like electricity
This in advertising is partly due to united
effort in given industry to combat competition from the
product of separate and distinct industry
wood, for instance.
Again manufacturers and other producers beginning
to see that by united advertising they create much
larger demand for their product with the result that
there be business to divide among themselves On
the simple principle that two pies further among four
boys than one pie.

POST
To MEET HERE
Activities of Fall and Winter
to be Discussed Here To-
Morrow Night

An important meeting of the AM
erican Legion Post, No. As, will be
held tomorrow night at the local Y.
M. C. A., at which time important
business is slated to be transacted.
The most important matter that
will present itself at the gathering
tomorrow night will be the election
of delegates and a~lternates to the
state convention of the legion to be
held at Wildwood on September ID,
IA and is. Four delegates and al
ternates are expected to be elected
and these will be presented at the
county meeting on Monday night of
this week for approval by the county
executive committee. Plans for at
tending the county meeting will also
be made.
A matter that has caused consid-
cradle interest among the legion
naires of this city as we'll as through
out the county organization, and
which will no doubt be the center
matter in the minds of the Middlesex
delegates at the department conyen-
ton, is the movement to have the
state bridge between here and South
Amboy dedicated as a memorial to
the soldier and sailor dead of the
county who made the supreme sac
rifice during the World War. A
resolution to that effect will no
doubt be presented by the county
meeting on Monday night.
Fall activities in the way of So
cial affairs and post elections will
also be discussed on Friday night,
The local post is contemplating hold
ing a big dance during the next few
weeks, while the Ladies' Auxiliary of
the American Legion are also max
ing vast preparations for a big year
in legion activities.
AS far as elections are concerned.
not much talk is being spread about
through the lines. The office of
county commander has been held by
local legionaires for the past year,
and while Ronald Kleckner is not ex-
peeted to enter the race, a South
Amboyan in the person of John Con-
logue will probably be one of the en-
trants in the contest. The office of
post commander is yet undecided
and the only move left in local post
election is chairman of the member
ship COMMITTEE. Holger Holm, pres
ent post commander. will probably
lbe one of the candidates for this
office.
During the last year the member
ship of the local post has decreas-
ed in number considerably, and in
spite of the fact that Post As rates
first in number in Middlesex coun-
ty. Holger Holm seems confident
that he can increase the number to
double its amount during the next
year, and for that reason has declar-
ed his Willingness to run for the
chairman of membership position.
