One hundred and forty-one . of :. the largest na tional adTertlsers in the country and -16 of the leading adrertising agencies hare -agreed that busi ness ; can . su cceed without . using the landscape for advertising, and hare endorsed: the policy of re stricting bUlboards to commercial districts, according to. announce ment made by the General Fed eration of Women's clubs, the lar gest of the nine cooperating or ganizations represented on" the Na tional Committee for the Restric tion of Outdoor Advertising. The value of newspaper adver tising as compared with billboard advertising is a large factor in this change of policy, according to the letters which the .advertis ers and agencies are writing the committee. In a letter to Mrs. Vf. L. Law ton. Glens Tails. New York, the Federation's, represent ative on the committee,' the J. B. Haines Advertising agency of Philadelphia wrote: j. "Wfc have carefully checked over the .various forms of adver tising and found that the news paper and magazine; offer' the most publicity for the dollar spent - while we have not been able to check any great tangible results from outside billboard advertising. Accordingly .we? prefer . the news papers and cannot see why our beautiful landscape should; be marred by promiscuous r advertis ing.' 4 - . i Quotations from other letters follow: j "You may add our name to the list of companies who have agreed that business can succeed without the use of the landscape for ad vertising." , "My attitude Is that nobody would suffer very much if all printed signs and billboard adver tisements were abolished, as there are certainly enough other forma of advertising available.' "We are heartily In sympathy. The beauty of the roadways of America Is an; Invaluable national asset-'! ?; . "- . ; "We realize that 1 advertising which of Itself stimulates objec Jons on the part of those to whom it Is addressed has very little like lihood ; of accomplishing its ob ject." - - j , "I believe. that I am conserva tive when I say. that an advertiser has the odds yery much 'against him for getting the cost of his ad vertising back'' from; billboards outside of commercial sections."
