ADVER Using OF REAL ESTATE
EXPLAINED TO Y. M. c. A. GLASS
Tangible Factor in Modern Business Pro-
ducing Results and Not Merely Ex-
pense, George A. Lewis Says.

Advertising is a tangible rather than
a visionary factor in modern business
and it is a producing machinery and
not merely an expense. George A.
Lewis. local advertising man. told
members of the Y. NJ. G. A. class in
real estate, which is conducted under
the auspices of the Washington Real
Estate Board, at its session this week.
Mr.. Lewis explained that no par.
ticular formula need be followed in
reference TO advertising. but rather
that each individual problem must be
considered from its own circum-
stances. Outside OF the fact that ad.
vertising should be consistent. there
are two definite kinds of advertising
which should be interesting TO real
estate firms, he said. one. institutional
advertising. relating largely TO public.
ity which establishes the reputation
and selling the work itself and giving
the general public information as TO
service policies and specialization OF
the firm. and the other the selling ad-
vertising. which has largely for its OBJ
5ect the attainment of prospects.
Produce Prospects.
1t should be borne in mind. said Mr.
Lewis. that advertisements of them.
selves VIII not sell the property, but
will produce the prospects who serve
AZ the purchasing power. The pros.
poets can be limited according to the
wording of the advertisement.
Mr.. Lewis stressed the necessity OF
truth in advertising. declaring tina,
falsity not only stops the sale of the
particular property advertised. but
brings discredit for lack of confidence
to the business. 1t is most necessary
to be frank and Straightforward in an
advertisement, for the production of
a large number OF prospects is not al.
ways the most beneficial. but rather
the prospects who know exactly what
the proposition Is and approaches the
seller with fun knowledge is the one
who will most likely become a pur.
chaser, he said
In outlining the various mediums OF
advertising Mr.. Lewis placed them in
the following order: Newspapers, bill.
boards. signs. direct mail and novelty

 The Republicans were quick to seize the opportunity presented them when the Alabama delega- tion returned from Houston. dis satisfied with the majority selec- tion. Only one of Alabama's delegation of 24 voted for Smith and no effort was made for band wagon ride
 Political unrest in the state was climaxed by the formation here of an Anti-Smith club The movement spread and Democrats thus far have failed to check it. Anti-Smith clubs and Hoover Democrats" either are active or their influence is felt in every county in the State.

 Lacking well-rounded state organization with which to augu- ment their numbers when votes began voluntarily flocking into their fold, Republican party lead CTS set upon that task as the most important of all it's work They topped off the drive with selection of slate of former Democratic electors.
