Dallas, Waco. Fort Worth and other

Only one national conference has

cd for the first time.

Credit is due the advertising clubs
of the country for the manner in
press the operations of the shark >"
oil corporations and the fake stock
companies. Not only do they refuse
to handle any advertising for them
but they expose them 10 the public.
An instance was recitcd by Dale
Rogers. president Of the Houston
Advertising Club. where man, sup
poscdly worth millions. desired TO en-
list the services Of an advertising
concern in Houston to promote a
huge textile factory. The advertising
man was able To see through the
others plans of defrauding the
"small" man and asked for references.
The se1-styled millionaire left the
office Immediately. This prevented
the possible swindle of thousands as
this man had been putting on just
such illceitimate gaines for some
time. Had he had real business
proposition to offer he would not
have needed advertising to sell stock
as banks and manufacturers would
have put ar unlimited supply of
money at his command.
Local representatives at the confer
ence Sunday were William Brockhau-
sen, president OF the San Antonio
Club; A. II. Calwallader and Harold
Kayton. vice president Of the A. A.
G. of the World

lens of the retail merchants at this
