THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, CHARLOTTE,. N. C, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 16, 19211 ADVERTISING THE GREAT SALESMAN Closings Day of Convention Proves to be Busy One for; Advertising JVIen. Atlanta, June 16. The closing day of the seventeenth annual convention of the Associated Advertising: Clubs of The World was one of the busiest of the four-days' convention here. While the morning session was devoted to addresses by the retiring international president, Rowe Stewart and other speakers, the final meeting in the after, noon was given over to reports of com- 'mittees and election of officers. The warm campaign for the presi dency between Charles Henry Mackin tosh, of Chicago, and George W. Hop kins,, of New York, was continued by . their supporters during the morning session although backers of the Chica go man announced their canvas showed a majority of votes promised to him. Selection of Milwaukee, Wis., by the division presidents for the next con vention, was expected to be confirmed. Advertising is the great modern sales man, accomplishing titanic tasks for le gitimate business, doing an infinite number of important things which ; would be impossible by any other meth od such was the inspiring picture drawn in an address by Richard H. Lee, of New York City, director of theN'a tional Vigilance Committee of the Asso ciated Advertising Clubs. Mr. Iee's address was one of . the outstanding features of the entire convention. ; "Markets are in- the minds of people. an(j can be created through truthful advertising." he declared. "Legitimate business thus can control its own de mand, and therefore, it can be master " of its own destinies, in proportion to " the degree in which advertising is used ' legitimately and is believed and acted upon by the public. "The old methods of doing business are gone. They are never coming back. There was a dav when each business man might consider himself a unit un- . to himself. That day has departed. ' Today, he- ia but a unit in an indus try. p , "Once, he sent traveling salesmen floating down creeks in skiffs aiyl they drove into the back woods by horse 'and buggy. TUB COMMON SALESMAN. "Today, the products of America are being marketed by a common salesman. Advertising. Each advertiser pays but a part of this -salesman's salary, but no longer can any business man say to himself." When my competitor deals un fairly with the public, he hurts only himself.' for if his competitor misuses advertising he impairs the standing and the usefulness of Advertising the common salesman for all American business. "Confidence is the basis of all sales. If the customer does not believe what vou tell him, certainly no sale is pos sible, but on the contrary if you could instill twice the amount of confidence in the buying public, your sales would be made in one-half the time and you could double the effectiveness of every sales person without any speeding up p'rocess or putting forth any additional effort. This would permit you to do your present amount of business with one-half your sales force or to double the amount of your business with your present force. READER CONFIDENCE. "Reader confidence is all there is to advertising. As reader confidence goes up, so do sales and the value of adver tising. As reader coirfidence goes down, " so does the value of advertising, and so do sales. "Advertising as we use it today Is a comparatively new thing. Of course, we have always had advertising . in some form or other, but its use as a point of contact between buyer and seller as now employed has been de veloped largely withing the last twenty five years. Like all new things, its future is apt to be overlooked in the desire to use its most povrful appeal, and while most merchants and manu-, facturers have sufficient vision to real ize this fact, it has been overlooked by some and deliberately ignored bv oth ers. Fortunately, they are fiv in pro portion to the total number who use advertising, but their activities have been so pernicious and their ropy so outstanding that they have reflected on all advertising. "TJie National Vigilance Convnittte was formed and is mrv operating to prevent this abuse; to protect -eader confidence; to maintain a more careful watch on copy in short, to make ad vertising more trustworthy. ADVERTISING IS MARKETING. "Advertising, after all, !? ju&t ri.r keting; but when you stp to reflect that we have but two arms to nil in dustry in America Vroduction and Marketing you get some conception of what it means to impair this powerful business force. ' "The head of a house rarely ever has an opportunity for personal contact with his customers. They learn to -know his institution through the point of contact which they have with it. If -a salesman in a store is loud-nmth3d and blatant, that sort of a man, io the customer's mind, owns the plaeo; and if he is untruthful, his statements are laid at the door of the house ilself. The whole sales force, and especially the greatest salesman, Advertising are a-mirror in which the public sees the owners of the business." LIQUOR CASE WITH THE JURY Marcus Wilson, Negro, Be ing Tried for Embezzling : Vanderberg Still Out . The jury in the case of Lee Smith and Thomas Brown, two men of the Hunter sville community who were tried in Superior court Wednesday on ths charge helping to operate the big still discovered near Huntersville a few weeks ago, had not come in to report at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon although they had been out since 10 o'clock Thursday morning.

Wall, of Richmond, was elected a director, succeeding the late F. H. Davis. LODGE DISLIKES PIE DISPENSING He Doesn't Like Nomina tion of Julius Klein as Director. BY PARKER ANDERSON, Staff Correspondent of The New Washington, June 16 The latest out break in the patronage question came when Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, expressed surprise at the nomination of Julius Klein of Boston, to be'director of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce , in the. department of com merce. It.wa8 macle on the request of Secretary Hoover, and Senator Lodge is having it held up in the Senate till he lets it be known what he thinks of it. He called at the White House Monday but did not see the President. Feeling that there is discrimination among the states in the matter of civil employes, that the District of Columbia Virginia, Maryland and. perhaps, other states are getting far more than their share of employes in departments in Washington, Senator Harreld, of Okla homa whose State is shy about 600 employees here, has offered a resolu tion asking for an investigation and it is expected that this will be adopted, as employes from many states are be ing dropped and they are calling on senators for help in holding govern ment jobs. SIMMONS PROTESTS. Senator Simmons, finding that num bers of Xorth Carolinians are on the list to lose places, has called on the civil service commission to give him the quota for North Carolina and the number of employes now having posi tions. It is claimed that In especial cases Democrats from the State are be ing dropped and1 Senator Simmons pro poses to see that there is a square deal for employes from North Carolina. Congressman Hammer Monday after noon introduced his bill to repeal the act creating the public utilities commis sion of the District, and to reenact the laws in effect at the time of its adop tion in 1914. This would automatically brine five cent car fare to the District of Columbia if passed. It has the sup port of six members of the District com mittee of which Mr. Hammer is a mem ber. The newspapers of Washington are giving Congressman Hammer big space on account of his activities in behalf of the people of Washington.

The prime ministers of five self-goverinnig British dominions and represertatives of India are gathering in London, according to dispatches, to take part with the prime minister of Great Britain in what is considered one of the most impomnt consultations in British history. In con nection with theconferences the Nation al Georgraphic Society has issued the following bulletin. . "The British Empire is at onro the greatest and most peculiar 'empire' which the world has known. Its Hag flies over more thir a fifth of the "and surface of th eartV and over about a nuarff of the inlvh'tunts of tho globe. This ast territory, amounting to near ly thirteen million square miles, is six times the size of the Roman Empire at its greatest extent, more than three tiroes the size of the present French ei.ipire,' and once a half as large as the next great empire of modern times, the Russian. If all the land of the British Empire could be formed into one tract it would require the entire continent of Africa and half the United Htates to cover it. WOKLD STEPPING STONES "Portions of the British Empire are strewn in and between the oceans vt the world like protruding flagstones and pebbles in a pond. A giant with seven-leasrue boots that could envpr inftn miles at each normal step with an oc casionai leap or izuu miles could walk a large part of the distance around the world dry-shod and touch only British territory. "The first 1000-mile step -from ISng Jand -would b- to dny Gibraltar, less than two square miles in area, the smallest, yet strategically one of the most important units of the Empire.

" w iicai col point of British territory in the Straits lunuciiis is a Dare 300 miles- From Singapore at the snnttiamn the Straits Settlements to British Bor neo, is less than 400 miles. AUSTRALIA ISOLATED "To reach isolated Australia by thous and mile steps on British territory the giant pedestrian would have to, make use of tiny Christmas island, about 800 miles south of Singapore. The distance from there to the nearest point inAus traha could be covered by a single 1000 mile 'step'. "From eastern Australia a 1000-mile Step would reach Norfolk Island. Thence a half-step would reach New Zealand From Norfolk Island the giant pedes trian could pick his way with ease by steps ranging from a few miles to 100 miles along the route of the British trans-Pacific cable for a distance of more than 3000 miles to Fanning Island. This infinitesimal island is practically the eastermost Outpost among the units of the British Empire that are closely con nected with one another. East and northeast is a vast expanse of the Paci fic without islands. To the southeast where a haldting-island bridge exists' many of .the islands are in possession, of France. This lack of British is lands in the eastern Pacific is striking ly shown by the fact that the British trans-Pacific cable extends under water from Fanning. Island to Canada a dis tance of 3458 miles, the longest stretch of underlayed cable in the world. Be yond the Pacific breach lies Canada the greatest of the empire's units, and to the souht of it are the Important West Indies possessions "The British empire is in a sense not an empire at all.

FOUR WITNESSES GIVE TESTIMONY Canadians Tell of Relations Between Mrs. Stillman and Fred Beauvais. Poughkeepsie, N. Y.. June 16. Coun sel for James A. Stillman, centered his court fight for divorce today upon testimony regarding the relations of Stillman with Fred Beauvais, the In dian guide named by the New York banker as co-respondent. Shortly after, they surprised Mrs. Stillman 'and her attorneys by produc ing four witnesses said to have come from Canada. Three of these were women. Presumably they were to tell of relations between the defendant and Beauvais at the Stillman camp near Three Rivers, Quebec. They were ex pected to go on the stand later today. When the morning session opened, Bernard Kelly, former superintendent of the Stillman estate in the Pocantico hills, and his wife. Irene Kelly,- were taken into the building where the hear ings were held. Kelly's previous testi mony concerned his reading of a let ter alleged to have been written to Mrs. Stillman by Beauvais. Bernard Kelley, it was understood, admitted on cross-examination today that he wilfully evaded answering a question yesterday as to his knowledge of the whereabouts of Mary Kelly, the maid, who is charged by Mrs. Still man's lawyers with having stolen the letters alleged to have been written to Mrs. Stillman by Beauvais. Today it was learned that Kelly' told where Mary Kelly was living and ex plained he had visited her several times recently. Efforts to call her as a wit ness probably will be made by the Counsel for James A. Stillman vvufi drew their agreement to produce him for cross-exartiination June 28. His lawyers contended that Mr. Still man was annoyed when the date of his appearance became public last nignt. He felt sure, it was said, that a curious crowd, reporters and particularly cam era men, would congregate, and the prospect of being thus gazed at he con sidered unpleasant. Mrs. Stillman's attorneys were said to have insisted that the banker's coun sel agree to produce him before the plaintiff completes presentation of his side of the case, and this they did. It was understood they would give a week's notice to the defense of the date on which the banker will face his wife before Referee Daniel J. Gleason. Y. M. C. A. BOYS BACK FROM CAMP Declared to be One of Best Trips Ever Taken to Lake Kanuga. With ruddy cheeks and bright eyes, Y. M. C. A. boys who went on the re cent camping trip to Lake Kanuga, are back in the city. A. C. Sheldon, boys' work secretary, in charge of the .camp, declared that the trip was better than any taken in the past several j-ears.

"BIGGEST SHOW" HEADS THIS WAY Ringling Brothers and Bar num and Bailey Coming, Card Announces. "The Greatest Show on Earth" is on its way to Charlotte. It will be quito a while before it is here, but it is com ing. Colonel Jim Donaldson, the gen ial advance man of the circus, says so, in a card received Thursday in Th-a News business office, addressed to W. M. Bell, the veteran advertising man ager, and extending greetings to The News staff. The card from Colonel Donaldson contained an alluring and pulse-quickening picture of the Ringling Brothe-s & Barnum and Bailey street parade, with a long line of ponderous eit phants swinging along and gaily ca parisoned steeds ridden by beautiful ladies and handsome gentlemen, and a band wagon drawn by ten horses marching grandly along. The card read: "Best wishes and kindest regards. See you this fall. Give staff my regards. Jim Donaldson, Ring ling Brothers ana Barnum & Bailey." It has been Colonel Jim's wont for numerous circus seasons to blow into Charlotte several days befqre the ap pearance of the big circus here aij swap reminiscences with the boys about former visits to Charlotte and About circuses and folks connected with them; also about newspaper peo ple he has met in all parts of the United States. Colonel Jim is a veteran in experi ence. He is a Southerner, and was 'of a number of years on the staff of The Norfolk Virginian. His affability and geniality make him a welcome visitor in any newspaper office. The combined big circus left its win ter quarters at Bridgeport, Conn., sev eral weeks ago and gave its first performance at Madison Square Gar den, according to long-standing cus tom. - ' 'About time 'simmons get ripe below the Mason and Dixon line and "when the frost is on the pumpkin and thg fodder's in the shock" the countryside will begin-to be vivid with flaring pos ters telling that the big show is near at hand.

Hamilton Holt, magazine editor, who headed the dele gation of pro-league Republicans that called on former President Wilson dur ing the last Presidential campaign, to day made public a letter he had writ ten President Harding askeding him to explain to the American people the terms of the Harfljng association pro posed to supplant the Wilson League of Nations. "If you delay much further, peo ple everywhere will inevitably con clude that you have no concrete . . plan at all or else that you propose to put party harmony ' above world welfare," declared Mr. Holt. "In that event, there will be nothing., left for those who want America to. . play her rightful part in stabilizing. . Ihe world, but to organize the country so as to capture Congress for the league in 1922 and the Pres idency in 1924." This, Mr. Holt asserted, could be done. He declared the League of Nations ami bolshevism were the only great ideas that had come out the war as world panaceas, and he asked the President whether he oculd guarantee that the wcrld -would not turn to bolshevism, if it . came generally to be believed that he had no plan at all for a substi tute for the League. ' "As President-elect, you didjiot see fit to disclose your attitude on the league beyond what you had said dur ing the campaign. Both" the 'thirty one' and the irreconcilables. claimed you for their own. "As President, however, you have unequivocally repudiated the existing League of Nations, whose area com prises considerably more than half the earth and whose population numbers three-quarters of the human race. You even permitted without rebuke your ambassador at the Court of St. James to that , you will have nothing to do with any 'commission or committee ap pointed by. the le ague or responsible to it directly or indirectly, openly or fur tively.' WHERE DOES HE STAND? "You have, nevertheless, as presiden tial candidate, repeatedly promised dur ing the campaign, and as President you have reiterated that promise, that you will seek to establish 'an association of nations based upon the application of justice and right, bindii-.g us in confer ence and co-operation for the preven tion of war and pointing the way to a higher civilization and international fraternity in which all the world might share.' "You have not yet given the Ameri can people the slightest inkling of the terms of this Harding association that you propose shall supplant the Wilson league. Has not the time come, I re spectfully ask, for you do to this?" NOTICE OF SALE OF SCHOOL BOVDS.
