ADVERTISING PAYS, KIWAMANS TOLD Col. L. W. Herron, in Talk, Points Out Benefits of True Representation. “Advertising from a Newspaper Man's Viewpoint” was the subject of an ad- dress yesterday by Col. Leroy W. Her- ron, advertising manager of The Star, before the weekly luncheon meeting of the Kiwanis Club at the Washington Hotel. Declaring truthful advertising pays the greatest profits, Col. Herron pointed out the benefits gained by advertiser, publisher and consumer in adhering to true representations. In his talk, Col. Herron discussed advertising from loeal and national angle: “‘Advertising tod: he said, “is un- doubtediy one of the greatest forces in the business structure of the United States. It s a motive force which keeps the wheels of business progress moving. It is a competitive stabilizer which keeps business on an even keel, and, although business may slow up at times, as it has for the last year and a half, yet advertising continues to be an indispensable force to keep business moving. “The manufacturer cannot continue to make his product unless he can sell it to the distributor or the dealer, and the dealer cannot continue to stay in business unless he sells to the con- sumer, and the answer is advertisting.” It was announced by Albert W. Howard, chairman of the.club's Sport Committee, that the golf tournament scheduled today at Columbia Country Club had been called off due to the ab- sence of so many competitors from the city. Next Thursday's meeting will be a “home-coming” affair, with mem- bers bringing in former members. “l Know Something— “and it's no secret, either!
