new slogan, The Model City-a
good location for any vocation" and
the name of Admission will hereafter

terheads of many of the leading bus
mess men OF the city.
Declaring at the outset that the
Ideal of advertising is to give
truthful and helpful publicity for
the benefit of the public and the
seller" Roy Smart, former Biz
mingham newspaper man, and who
is fresh from the International XII
wants convention in Atlanta, gave
the Chamber of Commerce members
some helpful suggestions as to
means of advertising and selling An
niSton.
To Use Envelopes.
On the motion OF B. W. Pruet.
president of the Admission National
bank, 1t was decided to appoint a
committee to handle the question of
providing a map of Admission to be
printed on the backs of all business
envelopes and to provide statistics
to be printed on the reverse side OF
all business letters, and it Is ex-
pected that tvs now plan will draw
much favorable attention to Annis-
ton.
During his speech at the Chamber

sisted that every piece of literature
going out from Admission outght to
carry the Information that Admission
is the largest producing center of
cast iron pipe In the world and that

ton called by Governor. Brandon for

gave several instances where adver-
Using had brought settlers to An
! niston. He said that a folder de-
scribing Admission came into his
| hands about IS years ago and that
it was directly responsible for his
decision to settle in Admission.
During his speech on the subject
of publicity Mr. Smart suggested
every news article published in out
of-town newspapers. He also point
ed to the fact that the Poland Soap
works, established here less than
two years ago, was using commend
pieces of advertising matter each
