ADVERTISING MEN
ELECT PRESIDENT
Benson to Serve Four Years.
Promises Campaign to In
prove Methods.

John Benson of Chicago was elected
president of the American Association
of Advertising Agencies at the close
OF the organizations two.day conven.
ton, at the Mayf1ower Hotel, late yes.
terday. He will be the first head of
the association to serve four years
and receive a salary for his work.
Selection of Mr.. Benson, who is a
past president and chairman of the
finance committee, followed the rec
concentrations of the executive board,
which had outlined plans for radical
changes in the government of the as
sOciation. The other officers chosen
as recommended were: Henry T. Ewald
of Detroit, vice-president, and +. De
Witt Hill of New York. treasurer.
H. K. McCann of New York was
chosen to fill new office, that of
chairman Of the executive board, the
term of which will be two years.
James O'Shaughnessy of New York
will continue as executive secretary.
Further steps in eliminating in
sincerity in advertising were prOmiS-
ed by Mr.. Benson following his cleo
ton. The association. he said. will
continue its efforts to introduce jim
advertising "a solid foundation of
fact" to an even greater degree.
A study will be made of markets,
circulation of goods and buying power,
Mr.. Benson said. The success of ad-
vertising depends on these things, he
pointed out, and a knowledge of such
statistics will make advertising more
efficient. econoRical and effective.
The result, he believed, would be
reduction of cost to the consumer
through reduction of advertising
cost.
Standardization of the column
width of newspapers in the interest of
greater efficiency will be sought. The
association will also seek, if possible,
to reduce the cost of national advertis-
ing in newspappers to the local rate.
