TRUTH FOUND BEST
I OR ADVERT I'iNG
!.Mdorn M -tAch hrin4 P.t ilt 1.
Business, rle. Spec-
ialitt at O. S. C.
It, in modern to advertbe but much
current adverti; ing is not modern, be
lieves H. T. Vance, head of the de
partment of advertising and selling
at Oregon State college. In a ser
ies of business institutes held thru
out the state Professor Vance K;
'pointing out the vital part advertis
ing piays in success, but urging im
provement of present methods.
A merchant has only three methods
of reaching the public personal
contact over the counte:, dLplays,
I and advertising. Of the three the
laiit is the only one that reaches
out into the rural districts and be
yond to tell the public what the i
merchant haa to meet their needs,
he says.
Much advertising fails to keep
abrca t of the modern speed age,
finds Professor Vance, while more
of it defeats its own purpose by be
ing so exeggtratcd that the people
fail to believe it.
Methods of improving advertising
listed by this specialist are, be
frank and truthful, undere.timate
ratha than exaggerate, use some ad-1
vcrtishig to "sell" the store as well
as the merchandise, and use local
pictures occasionally as they tell the
truth and avoid ridiculous situations
caused by too many "canned" cuts.
