The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1936-10-02

So ON this ground of franlness, and in all
heartiness and neighbOrly spirit, Yale and
LTTENING and the many distributors and
dealers cordially invite your business and
your continued attention to our messages.
The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1936-10-02
Z you peep "oehind the scenes"
of the Yale advertising appeals?

OF COURSE you've noticed, if you've
- analysed at all, that a picture of
steam roller, or trapeze tragedy, or boy
with an umbrella, or such like, have no
apparent direct bearing on your gasoline
interest. Obviously such pictures and head
lines are used to engage your passing atten-
ton - but as we intend it, Arrays leading
to YOUR profit in the end! For as you read
beyond the heading, isn't it true that the
point made by boy, or steam roller, or his
toric incident proves to be far closer to your
gasoline interests than at first appeared?
We figure that direct fiat claims, even when
very valuable, are so easily overlooked, or
SO quickly forgotten, that you are far more
likely to be interestedint these odd andvaried
indirect appeals. Consequently, aren't you
likelier to remember the point they make
about LTTENING'S special qualities and
economy just at that critical moment when
you need gasoline and could as well turn IN
at one place as another?
It is right then that we want Lltenlng
flash of remembrance to cross your mind
- and when as a result you do choose
LTTENING, we sincerely believe that you

and your car, as well
as we, are the gamer.
So, without the least

or preachy, or pom
derOusly scientific, we
consistently try to

about LITENING

entertain a little, perhaps inform and en-
tighten little, or maybe pleasantly recall
some half-forgOtten reference from "fOnrth
reader days - in a word to make you
mildly glad that you gave our message
second look for its own sake.
Of course, in the end, winning your patron

remains the basic purpose. And we are not
bit hesitant to say SO right out.

Hoover Denies Soda Jerker
Aided in Catching Robinson
Declares Agents Proved
Person Allen Described
Vas Not Kidr1aper.

A garrulous but evasive Pasadena
soda jerker basked in the lime light OF
national publicity today as j. Edgar
Hoover, director of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation, denied emphatically
the mans story that he tipped G-men
off to the whereabouts of Thomas H.
Robinson, jr., captured Stoll kidnaper.
Commenting on the appearance OF
the selfstyled informant Lynn Allen,
on a gang dramatization radio broad
cast in New York last night, Hoover
declared:
Its a great publicity stunt but
there Is not word of truth in 1t.
Allen had nothing in the world to do
with the capture Of Robinson"
Hoover said it was true that Allen
reported to Pasadena police on April
u last that he had waited on some
one dressed in women's clothes whom
he believed to be Robinson.
"The police and our agents in
vestigated the mans story very care
fully and proved the person described
could not have been Robinson"
Hoover said The whole report came
to naught. That was the only time
Allen made a report, so far as this
bureau is advised and the eventual
capture of Robinson resulted from a
wholly different line Of investigation" ;"
Allen talked freely for several
minutes with reporters who met him
briefly at Washington Airport yester-
day afternoon, but he became nom
commital as soon as he learned that
Hoover challenged his story.
In response to a direct question. he
admitted he had given no information
to federal agents. He said he had
told a Pasadena detective about a visit
to his drugstore of Robinson on
April 7. He said he recognized Rob-
inson from a description he had heard
over the same radio hour which
featured him as guest last night.
Program Claims Credit.
Allen said the man dressed as a
woman had breakfast in the drugstore
and he became suspicious when the
woman" gave his order in mascu-
line voice.

He is. the victim of our times. He Is
confronted by serious economic con-
ditions. the dislocation of the product
of his profession in the modern world
of machinery, utility and science; the
problem of everchanging tests affect
ing his work. and the fact that art
patronage is consistently shifting and
now generally lacking"
Expression of Ideas.
"Art. at its best" he continued, 'is
the expression of common cultural
ideals and aspirations, and it hnds
its being in the temperament OF the
racial group as Influenced by environ
ment.
The art should not be tucked away
in museums for students to observe
and contemplate. 1t should exist as
an integral part of building archl-
lecture itself.
When art is removed from the
specialized and snobbish patronage OF
the few and brought more into con-
tact with the broad masses. it will
become fundamentally the expression
of our common culture and will gain
in its spiritual content
