PRESS HELD BEST
ADVERTISING FIELD
Importance Of Newspaper Space
Stressed by Utility Chief
at Chicago Session.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO. Ill, September 28.-The
importance Of newspaper advertising as
the best medium through which to
reach the public was emphasized yes
terday by Morse Dell Plain, president
Of the Northern Indiana Public Service
Co.. in an address before the fifteenth
annual Convention of the American
Gas Association in session here.
"A restricted advertising program for
purposes Of economy Is an economic
mistake" Mr.. Dell Plain said "News-
papers are the eyes and ears Of So
ciety. Because 1t reaches more persons
than any other medium, the newspaper
Is the means through which we should
tell our story. Most people in the COM
munity read little except their local
newspaper, and the presses of the coun-
try turn out nearly 10000, 900 copies
daily for these readers"
Local advertising-advertisin that
brings home to the consumer the fact
that the utility truly is . part Of his
community and usually one of the
largest taxpayers In its vital to the
industry. Mr.. Dell Plain said. This ad-
vertising should emphasize particularly
the service rendered and the desire Of
the company to truly meet the demands
OF the community; demands not only
for therms Of gas, but also for the
rounded additional services for which
the customer pays in his monthly bill.
THE breaking down of initial re-
sistance to q new appliance through
persistent newspaper advertising greatly
reduces the ultimate sales COST the
speaker said.

 Now as never before have the words and counsel of the first Ancrcan carried greater force and nothing could he added to give them vindication.
 Tomorrow is the day when every American should take down h volume of the Life of Washington and re-read his fare we'll address to Congress.
