are expected
Mr.. Johnston received this assurance

Iore attending the federation board

The selection OF Washington came
only after spirited competition from
Boston. Toronto and other cities that
have advertising clubs affiliated with
the federation. The 1929 convention
was held in Berlin.
Twenty-Sixth Annual Session.
This will be our tWenty-sixth an
nual convention" said Mr.. Younggreen
in letter to President Johnston, but
1t will be the first time the combined
advertising interests Of the North
American continent as represented in
the federation have ever met in the
Capital City of the United States.
In our international affiliations, we
have joined in other years with the ad-
vertising and business leaders of con-
tinental Europe and Great Britain In
two conventions on the other Side-the
international advertising convention in
Berlin, Germany, last Summer, and the
convention of 1924 in London, England
This year we are going to meet in
America, where we will devote our at
tention to the problems of increased
profits through more effective adver-
Using as they exist here at home"
The Advertising Federation includes
the affiliated advertising clubs through
out America and more than 20 national
organizations representing the various
branches of advertising and Mr.. Young
green said.
Decision Is Unanimous.
1T was the unanimous opinion of the
board that we should convene in the
Capital City of the United States, in
which country the organized advertising
movement was first started
This will give opportunity for our
membership to know the Capital of
the United States better than most of
them now know 1t and will give the
Federation a closer contact with these
great sources of information in the
Government departments"
