"Today It takes merchandising abil ity and salesmanship to rrake. a suc cessful merchant. Advertising, except of the mail "order variety, does not sell goods, It simply brings the customer to the store where he can determine whether he has been told the truth in the advertising. And ir the merchant has not told the truth, advertising is not going to help him any." Mackintosh is heartily in favor of an exposition in 1925 as a medium of ad vertising, baaing his opinion on the suc cess of the San Francisco exposition. Since starting on his tour of the coun try the visitor has spoken before 100 ad vertising clubs and will continue his tour to every city in the nation. Today noon he spoke before members of the Portland Ad club and the Chamber of Commerce at an open meeting In the main dining room of the chamber. SALESMEN GITEX POINTERS At the luncheon meeting Mackintosh also stressed the need for better retair selling methods, saying that the beat definition of successful merchandising waa "selling goods that do not come back to customers who do." We can only do business with our friends and there is only one way to have friends. That way Is to be a friend yourself. We get only hy giving. Lasting success in business dependa upon the service we give," said Mackin tosh. The national head of Ad clubs likened merchandising to a great tank Into which is poured manufactured goods which flows through various pipes in Its course to the spigots controlling the outlet. He said that the retail sales man was the spigot and that a long in vestigation by the National Ad club or ganisation had revealed the fact that the spigot was less than half ooen. so that the whole tank was clogged.. t TO PUT IN NEW EQUIPMENT Purchase is being made by the South ern Pacific Railroad company of mil lion of dollars worth of equipment, part of which will be used for the improve ment of the lines in Oregon, according: to announcement made today ,' by Wil liam Sproule, president of the Southern Pacific system.

Concerning Portland's projected expo sition, Sproule said that the Southern Pacific would be well able to handle fair crowds without any radical changes. He predicted that the railroads would have to carry many more passengers if trucks anir motor busses are allowed to cntinue unrestrained operation on the highways. "Oregon's highways will go to pieces before 1925 if these heavy trucks are continued to operate without control o any kind," said Sproule, "The bus competition "and the ship competition has cut the earnings of the' railroads away down. ' The railroads have not been permitted to cat their rates to a point where they can meet Panama canal competition, yet the rail tines axe taxed to help pay for the up keep and losses of these Teasels which the government, taxed them to build."
