J.,, Oct. 21.—News- paper advertising is not expensive against the business, but is actually an investment, says Kenneth Col- lins, Vice-President of Giimbell; Brothers, in a talk before the Newark Advertising Club. i “Any owner of a business or any advertising man or woman who does not recognize in advertising a radically different type of expen- diture from all others in the busi- ness has an entirely unsound phil- osophy of advertising which must eventually result in unproductive or ineffective advertising,” he said. Collins’ career in advertising and business has been phenominal.
