HGAVE the Beauty of America-the
~ Landscape Is No Place for Ad
vertising," is the slogan OF the bill
board restriction committee of the
General Federation of Women's Clubs
of which Mrs. w. l.. Lawton of Glens
Falls, N. Y, is chairman.
The work of this committee against
defacing the landscape with billboardS
already is bearing fruit. AT the bien
NAL convention of the federation
year ago it was reported that 81 ma
tional advertisers had agreed to re
strict their billboard advertising tt
commercial districts, and at the recent
council meeting at Grand Rapids II
was announced that this number haG
been increased to 65. Mrs. Lawton
in her report, quotes one manufac
turer as saying: I'm our judgment
the General Federation is doing very
fine piece of work through its interest
in the conservation of the beauty oil
the landscape. We are proud to joir
you in this movement" Another manu-
facturer said: I'VE compliment you
on the stand you take in saving oul
beautiful scenery from modern bust
ness methods"
Forty State declarations are coop
Grating in this work. Wisconsin, New
Jersey and Illinois lead in the amount
towns distributed thousands of bulle
tins TO the farmers: 26 Wisconsin
towns held poster contests and hun
dreds of individual letters were sent
to national advertisers. A total OF
10000 bulletins were sent out this
Spring by the national committee
urging public support of the cam
paign against billboard advertising
and finally legislation prohibiting it.
