Fuehrer Sends His Car

Bx PIERRE J. HUss

BERLIN, March 3 0N.S).-In
an obvious rebuke to william E.
Dodd, former United States Am
baSsador to Berlin who has vigor-
ously criticized the Nazis since his
recall, Reichsfuehrer Hitler today
extended an ostentatious welcome
to his successor. Hugh r. Wilson
Receiving the new envoy at the

accepted wilson's credentials and
Dodd's letter of recall with salts.
faction" and stressed his own de.
sire to deepen and strengthen
friendly German-American @rela'
tons. -r
NO OFFICIAL FAREWELL
When Dodd left Berlin to re
turn to the United States there
was not the slightest semblance
of an Official farewell. In con
trast, Hitler sent his personal
Limousine to pick up Wilson at the
embassy and dispatched a caval
cade of five cars to bring the
entire American staff to the chan.
cellory.
After Wilson had presented his
credentials and extended personal
greetings to Hitler from President
Roosevelt, the Fuehrer said:
IT accept your credentials and
the letter recalling your prede-
cessor with satisfaction.
II welcome the earnest desire
you have expressed to deepen
and strengthen the friendly re-
lations existing between our two
countries.
"The circumstances that you
are not coming to Germany for
the first time, and that you
know the German people from
your previous diplomatic activ-
ity, will considerably facilitate
your efforts to serve the mutual
understanding Of our two peo-
pies.

"the problem today is selling the

"A sure sign of a failing business.

Tie-In Campaigns
Will Boost Sales

Dealers and distributors who car
ry products being nationally advcr-
tised in the Post and Press shouia
run tie-in advertising now while
schedules are going ahead with
more frequency than they do dur
ing many seasons of the year.
National advertising is far more
effective. according to advertising
experts. when the dealer who deals
directly with the public makes
known the fact that he has the
article for sale at his place OF
business. Stressing nationally ad-
vertised products always increases
a dealers business. The public will
buy an article which is well-known
and which they trust in preference
to an unknown article in practi-
cally every case.

hensive and interesting presentation of and fea
