At least, that's the view of the thousands of delegates who gather year by year at the Conventions of the ssociated Advertising Clubs of the World. And it is just because those Conventions help to make better business, that the delegates do gather, in ever increasing numbers, year after year. And that claim could be supported by definite evidence if it were necessary. But look at the facts for yourself, and then judge whether the claim is not eminently reasonable. This year, for example, the TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE Associated Advertising Clubs of the World will be attended by delegates from all over the world.
