"Mr. Russell and myself always maintained friendly relations with his brother and his wife, contrary to Mr. Pentland's statement that I had told him differently.

Miss Margaret Gibson and David JTieaer-jrtlfciepresent.Albaay, Portland Man, In liectnre-at Univer sity, Describes Ideal Advertis ing Director and Urges VTrlttng-Speclflcatlons. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene. Or.. March 18. (Special.) "Our com mercial literature of today, aa a whole. is below par. "The Ideal advertising man would oe one who could write the copy, execute his own illustrations, make his own engravings and have such & knowledge of paners and inks as to combine them properly and do his own printing ana binding. For any iobin printing specify your wants and see that these specifications are carried out to the letter. "Stick with the good printer: don't change for the mere saving of a dol lar. Give your work to the men you know. Take into consideration his ability as well as the price he charges. 'Don't use Cheap cuts. Poor cuts will mean poor work." These were some of the points pre sented to the class in advertising Frl day afternoon, when James B. Finni gan, of Portland, addressed that as sembly. Mr, Finnigan attributed the below- par condition of commercial literature to the fact that there does not exist between the average advertising man and the buyer of commercial literature, the artist, designer, engraver, paper maker, inkmaker and binder a closer unity of thought, purpose and action. The speaker took careful pains to distinguish between the artist and the artisan. 'A piece of work," he said, "success fully executed through the medium of the press today, guided by a man who is an artist in his line, can be ruined tomorrow en the same press watched over by An artisan." It is to the printers best interest to print literature in a manner which will satisfy and for the printer to do it he must have specifications, asserted Mr. Finnigan. "Some people regard specifications as an instrument to oe usea in iorcing the printer to produoe the kind of a Job desired. It should be construed as a systematic method of conveying to the printer the advertiser's ideas and wishes." WMtten Specifications Urged. Written specifications," said the speaker, "are the best contribution to an improved system of advertising. Eliminate the oral specifications and, when you require printers to compete, arrange your specifications so tnat they may compete fairly." The use of colors In adverttsing was another phase discussed. In rormer days, said Mr. Finnigan, colors in ad vertising were so expensive that they were considered a luxury and were lit tle used. Today things have changed. and by modern processes colored ads are nearly as cheap as the plain black and white. The engraving problem was next pre sented to the class and the process dis cussed. Many an otherwise splendidly pre pared catalogue. the speaker said. has been Irretrlevamy ruined inrougn careless or improper engraving. "Cheap 'Work Costs Most." "Engraving is an art and cannot be bought by the square Inch. Cheap and inferior engraving Is the most expen sive in the end." In concluding, Mr. Finnigan reverted back to the unity and harmony element in the production of advertising mate rial. "To strive for the ideal," he said, "use your artist on the ground that he is the particular artist who can serve you better than any other artist; in like manner choose your engraver, your printer and binder. Take them into your confidence; have them know your k1ot,i !. vou know them. In this man ner you will give them the opportunity to serve you to the best of their abilities."
