community spirit, just as good foot
I ball team, fuses and stimulates
school spirit. What is more 1t has
the capacity to direct inteiligently,
the enthusiasm which otherwise
would be wasted. In nearly every
city where there is an advertising
club yoHSwill find the men who have
learned the art of influencing hui
man decisions, using their gifts
freely to promote the best good OF
civic institutions.
by their fruits, YOU shall know
them - and the advertising club
movement in this country is con
tent to be judged by its fruits, some
OF which are-the awakening of the
business conscience, the enthrone-
ment of Truth as a working rule
rather than an embalmed principle,
better and more economical distri-
button, an interest in better selling
methods, the development of stand
ardized merchandise, and enough
more to fill this page.
During the war it was my duty
as director of The Federal Division
of Advertising, to help in the great
Task of mobiliZing mems minds to
win the war. 1t was the organized
advertising interest OF the country
that formed the foundation OF our
success in that task. Anything we
wanted from advertising men was
ours for the asking, and here in a
big way was eXemplified the unset
fish public spirit, which animates
your club and every club of which
have knowledge, in their relation
to the public veal of their home
towns.
