1C THE MORNING OREGONL4.X, WEDXESDAT, JUNE 11, 1919. AD MEN REMAIN III ORGANIZATION Proposal to Withdraw From Body Is Defeated. DELEGATES BUSY ALL DAY department Sessions Hold Discussions Ball "Winds ! Period of ActiTitj-. Many Decision to continue affiliation with the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World was the result of the considera tion of a proposition that the clubs of the Pacific coast confine their activi ties to this section exclusively, and was the feature of yesterday's sessions of the Pacific Coast Advertising Men's Association. But there were numerous high lights in the departmental ses sions into which the annual convention of advertising men was divided for aft ernoon meetings. There were confer ences between secretaries of Ad clubs, meetings of the advertising agency rep resentatives, better business bureau, church, community, financial, outdoor, retail, newspaper and direct mail ad vertising. Some of the departments disposed of regular programmes in or der to devote time and special attention to the exhibits installed in the Mar-ehall-Wells building across the street from the Multnomah hotel, which is proving one of the remarkable features of the meeting. It is the largest show ing of printing exhibits that has ever "been arranged for any convention of advertising specialists, and is being studied by the delegates as an excep tional opportunity to draw valuable lessons from the field of experience. Last evening delegates and visitors were guests of the Portland Ad club at a. complimentary banquet served at the Multnomah hotel, followed by a ball, that made an appropriate con clusion to a day replete with interest and information. Frank McCrillis had charge of arrangements for the ban niic.t. and Mrs. Marshall N. Dana and Mrs. Charles F. Berg were hostesses of the occasion. Mrs. E. N. Strong was hostess for the ball, which opened at S P. M. Election Attract Attention. Interest in the next convention city an dthe new president of the associa tion was beginning to be manifested yesterday. Both matters will be up for action at the evening session to day. Stockton's delegation of live wires came charged with the purpose of securing- the 1920 meeting. There had been a tacit understanding with Knme of the clubs that Stockton would seek the convention for next year, and I it is said that promises were made that I it should be favored at two' preceding meetings. But Los Angeles advertising men are also desirous of having their city chosen and it is claimed San Francisco favors the southern city. It is an un written law that the presidency of the organization goes to the city that is to entertain the convenion. If Los Ange les wins. Fred J. Wadley will be elec- ed president: if Stockton wins. Dave S. Matthews will be the official head. Se lection of the next place of meeting and nomination of candidates for offi cers rests with a committee composed ! of Marshall X. Dana, Portland; Fred Uutterworth. Los Angeles; George Put nam, Stockton; T. M. Keane, Spokane, and F. Harerave, Oakland. The four Portland daily newspapers are hosts to the advertising men at luncheons during the sessions of the convention. The first was that at the Chamber of Commerce Monday; yester day it was at the Portland hotel, and todav will be the noonday luncheon of the Portland Ad club to be served at the Multnomah hotel. Convention Ranka High. The convention is pronounced by vis itor to be the best that has ever been held on the Pacific coast, and ranking I with the largest gathering of the kind Jicld in any district of the country. The programme is of broad scope and exceptional merit in embracing the top ics with which the active advertising Mian has to do every day of his career. The foremost men in different lines of the profession are among those taking active part in deliberations, reading papers and joining in the discussions ex the day. Personnel of Delegates.

Advertising in every conceivable shape and form, its evils and Its virtues, the manner in which advertis ing should be handled to produce the greatest results and the common errors committed within the realm of the ad vertising profession, were emphasized in a series of talks before the Pacific Coast Advertising Men's association in convention at the Multnomah hotel. The morning programme was filled with addresses which sparkled with originality and were the thoughts of Some of the most noted advertising specialists on the Pacific Coast. Affiliation Decided 1 pon. The session yesterday morning proved to be one of the liveliest and most in teresting of the convention thus far, due possibly to the decision of the various delegations In attendance to affiliate Vith the Associated Advertis ing Clubs of the World, the large na tional organization which is bending every effort to protect the advertisers, promote truth in all advertising and thus obtain the confidence of the gen eral public in every piece of advertis ing copy which appears in print. Official action of affiliation of the clubs on the Pacific coast with the na tional organization cannot be taken during the convention, although there is no doubt that the official affilia tion will be made. As far as can be learned all the delegations favor the move, bnt it is necessary that the mati ter be approved by the entire mem bership of the clubs before any definite action can be taken. Tax on Share Feared. In an executive session held Monday night William C. E'Arcy explained the need of the Pacific coast clubs in the national organization and the many reasons why the advertising fraternity of the western coast should reap the benefits of the efforts of the national organization. At this session Mr. D'Arcy told the delegates that there was little doubt that during the present session of con gress an effort to affix war tax on all advertising: space in newspapers and magazines would be made. In order to assure justice to the advertisers and all associated in this gigantic industry for President D'Arcy said he believed the advertising business to be an in dustry a large delegation appointed by the national organization will ap pear before congres fortified with data and will attempt to show con gress that a tax on advertising would be an unjust burden upon the con sumer, who at the present time is bear ing an extremely heavy burden. War Kxpandl Advertialna;. Utilization of advertising to "sell' the war, to promote things among the people thus dispose of war bond to aid In the campaign lor the saving of food and the curtailment of the use of fuel, all conducted by advertising experts for the benefit of the govern ment, has resulted in expansion of the advertising business. This belief was expressed by Rollin C. Ayres, adver tising manager of the Zellerback Paper company of San Francisco and director of the Pacific Coast Advertising Men's association. 'Advertising has increased tremen- dously since the signing or the armis- tice," said Mr. Ayres, and will con tinue to do so for many reasons. The chief reason, I believe, for this expan- I sion of business Is due to the new q P. I - I no realization among the manufacturers and merchants that it takes more than good prices and salesmanship to sell goods. This realization was brought about through the extensive use of ad vertising by the government during the war." Charts Explain Efficiency. That newspaper advertising is read by the great majority of women was ascertained through the compila tion of a market report in Oakland, which was explained thoroughly at the convention yesterday by George A. Hughes, an advertising expert of Oak land, Cal. Mr. Hughes recommended that each city should be canvassed for facts which would be of value to the adver tisers and that the Oakland market report plan was one of the best means ' of obtaining this data, which, when compiled, is of unusual value to both the organizations selling advertising and to the advertisers. Efficiency in advertising was ex plained to the delegates by the means of a score of charts exhibited during a talk made W. W. Cooley, advertis ing manager of the Burroughs Adding Machine company. Mr. Cooley advo cated the use of every form of adver tising, but also warned his hearers that such advertising must be placed scien tifically if results are to be obtained. Newspapers Are Praised. "The advertiser must remember al ways that confidence and truth are two important factors, in all advertising.' he said. "Truth inspires confidence and confidence begets sales and sales make success. "The newspapers of this country and the magazines are to be complimented for doing big things in the way of ob taining confidence of the public in advertising. I do not believe that the public as a rule recognizes the. great sacrifices made by the newspapers and magazines when millions of dollars yearly are refused because advertising offered does not meet the standard of truth and honesty." Community Spirit Urged. Community spirit as typified by the famous "Seattle Spirit" was urged by Gordan C. Corbaley, executive secre tary of the Seattle chamber of com merce. The proper community spirit, he said, bespeaks sacrifice of indivi duals and the sole thought in every endeavor of the entire city. "The success of any community spirit and the sole idea of the Seat tle spirit is that every merchant, every manufacturer, every workingman, every person who resides in the city, oc cupies a stall in the great department store, which in our mode of living is called a city. "This spirit Is an awakening to the necessity of inter-independence re quired in the upbuilding and prosperity of the city. This spirit must be built with knowledge that every person of the city is a part of a great family. Mutual Benefit Depleted. "In Seattle it is an Idealism of the part of every individual who says, 'I'm proud of my city. I recognize that I owe my prosperity, my Joys, comforts and satisfaction in life to the great city in which 1 live, and that it is my duty to see that every member of the great family within its confines has not only prosperity but also see that he must share with me in my Joys, com forts and satisfactions in life. 1 owe a part of my time each day to effort which will assure all that they may have opportunity of enjoying the bless ings of life and that in the end that I Roosted No Health Disturbance Do what your vise and economy ical neighbor is doing, and drink.

Opportunity for financial institu tions in advertising was the theme used by Dave S. Matthews, second vice president of the Pacific Coast Adver tising Men's association. In his dis cussion he contrasted the old form of advertising copy used by the banks of the cities to the new modern methods, which bring added business. "Home Industry Building" was dis cussed by A. G. Clark, manager of the Associated Industries of Oregon, and the proper plans for "Direct Mail Ad vertising" were presented by Ramsey Oppenheirr., publisher of the Western Advertiser of San Francisco. DAIRYMEN HAVE MEETING Lewis-Pacific County Milk Prodnc- ers Discuss Progress. CHEHALIS, Wash., June 10. Milo D. Campbell, president of the National Federation of Milk Producers, addressed the Lewis-Pacific County Dairymen association here last night. Great en thusiasm greeted the report of Presi dent J. A. Schollard of the local organ ization to the effect that out of 290 dairymen visited by the solicitors who are signing up for stock in the project. but one dairyman failed to sign. Mr. Scollard gave a summary of the work accomplished to date. He stated that Washington puts 50 per cent of Its dairy products into condensed milk, while in the United States as a whol but 3 per cent of the milk is put into this form. The resultant effect Is that Washington is shipping out of the state in the heavier product the makings of milk powder, cheese, butter and other milk products that would be more re munerative to the producer. U. S. PHONE CONTROL ENDS States Will Fix Rates Under Private Ownership, Ruling. OLTMPIA, Wash.. June 10. That congress will have no jurisdiction over telephone rate regulation in the states one the companies are returned to prl- vat ownership, is the position taken by uie wasnmgton public service commi sion in a statement telegraphed to Theodore . N. Vail, president of the American Telephone & Telegraph com pany, and F. B. McKinnon. president or the United States Independent Tele phone association. At the same time the state commi! sion expresses its belief thsit the rates established under government control should remain until exchanged by the state commission in regular procedure if found unjust. The two companies asked assurance as to maintaining the present rates tor one year. Copper Mine Omits Dividends. BOSTON. June 10.
