The Value Of Cnnsisency In Adver tiling Perhape the greatest value of | advertising?the ability to keep a name or trade mark before the pub; lie until the buying public becomes impressed with the fact that this company or that is handling a certain product, and. that Svben he wants, collars, socks or churns, this: brand or that- is better. It is inveitable that a man or woman should subconsciously become familiar with certain products,!and in time 6f need turn to them, when day after day from every nehspaper Bricked UP the name Itr YrmrlJ roo .-i stares him or her in the face. Consistency in advertising is. the real secret. This is particularly brought out in a pamplet by the distribution department of the United Statei Chamber of Commerce, on retail advertising. Part? taken from let may prove particularly valuable the lptter accompanying the pampto the Durham advertiser. They follow; . "Every merchant," the department says 5n its foreword, "must make ^ himself knowp in order to^ conduct a profitable business. This is done in various ways, the greater part of is described as 'stuMMty.'j aijd of all these ways, advertising in the most effective." The purpose of" the pamhlet' i? stated to be: "To enable the owner of- the small stojre to make mostscconomicalt apd effective ps?\ of ^he ilioney he has available of has -avail- ' ?bel for advertising." 'Although every repetition of an advertisement, a circular or a letter costs money," says . the .department, "ocasional, hit-orjmisrt advertising is usually a ldsS; xl'hercas steady advertising of the right kind is siire to.'-^eproduktfve. :j>Iev?rl<it| the public forget you. Never give event your old established customers a chance to forget you, your store, your goods j'"Th<hw are two point* *o rpnjembef iji thli connection: Your advertising campaign, vThatever it ' consists of should be planned as a whole. "The other point is to , identify yotir store thiough a border, a trade mark, an illustration or a signature, so that every advertisement, every letter1, every - handbill, every delivery wagon and every piece of wrapping material will have some easily reecgjifeed mark which will remind the observer of all other p.ds of your store. Tie your ads together. Note how the large advertisers use a trademark/ a phrase or a picture. "At certain seasons and for certain offerings of merchandise,- adverlis-j ng announcements should appeal more Qrequ' ptly, t,h$n*' , uiual.

The company removed Its highway advertisements on the ground that they detracted from the'beauty of the roads, and ordered that hereafter such signs should be confined to commercial zones. . ? "There was instant public*r*^P"ns.e up and down the coast," said Kenneth R. Kingsbury, president of the company. "We have had editorials, letters and telegrams by the* hundreds indicating that a jkeon feeling exists concerning the nfarrinf, of our 'great highways by slgn%" ) 1 The Skyline boulevard, a great highway being completed from San Fran clsco southward along the high ridge? overlooking the Pacific o<??an, Is resorted to be Insured against bllll>OA~ds.
