WOOL TRADE NOMINAL
PORTLAND, Apr. 28 (P) Trading
in wool is so nominal that it is prac
tically impossible to firmly establish
prices her-a at the moment. Offering
of wool by the country at prevailing
figures shows a like condition. Some
Idaho Panhandle wool was reported
offering at 7c but buyers were un
able to find anyone in the east Will
ing to take it. This really reflects
the lowest price yet named on wool.
Tho eastern trade Is unwilling to
move a? any price.

BOSTON, Apr. 28 (P) A slightly
more optimistic undertone In the

movement of wool, an occasional
manufacturer has indicated a little
more interest in Borne lines of wool.
Buyers, however, are not making bids
and consequently the price situation
remains unsettled.

THERE'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT about

no barshncss.
THERE'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT about
tbc taste. It is that good, pleasing taste that comes

Presents Proof
That Advertising
Brings Returns
SCHENECTADY, N. Y., April 28 Wi
Gilbert T. Hodges has fuels and
figures to prove it pays to advertise
even in times of economic distress.
, Hodges is president of the Adver
tising Federation of America .which
has completed a study of the 17-year
records of 120 corporations, sixty
of these corporations failed to main
tain their advertising programs. The
other sixty eorporatioiis annually in
creased their advertising expendi
tures in spite of depressions at an
average rate of 10 per cent over the
previous year,
Hodges first took tip the cases of
the 60 concerns which enlarged tlieir
advertising:
. "Seventeen years ago mnny of these
00 companies j were small" lie said,
"today every one of them Is num
bered among the foremost business
houses of America. Tliey have mul
tiplied their net assets to four times
what they were 17 yenrs ngo.
lLast year their combined net prof
Its were three times k renter than in
the comparatively good year of J815.
This dramatic testimony to the value
of an unlwolten advertising policy
should bring confidence and inspira
tion to executives who want tangible
proof that a courageous program,
even In these difficult times, will pny.
"Now let us look at the other side
of the picture the dark side. Let
us bcd what happpneri to the other
fiO companies, the ones that pursued
an erratic and uncharted course.
"When times were good they
plunged heavily. When the going
became difficult they tightened
their pnrso strings,
"But this policy didn't work. Seven
teen years ago every one of the GO
firms In this erratic group was an
Important national business. Today
more than bslf of them have lost
that position of importance. Many
have perished.'
