Our relationship with our clients is
not bound with legal red tape or "scraps
of paper" we have no thirty or ninety
days' notice "clauses" because we have no
contract of any kind with any one of our
clients.
We have what we believe to be a more
everlasting basis of relationship than any
contract could give a more inviolable trust
than any legal verbiage could comprehend
a relationship of trust of implied faith
of continued achievement of maintenance
of standards. . . . These arc the tics that
bind us with "thongs of steel" to each and
every one of our clients.
These are the incentives that drive us to
our maximum effort at all times and under
every condition for each and every one of
our clients.
That these bonds arc not mere gossamer
but more potent than any written contract
is evidenced by our record of association
with accounts.
Wc have served all our present clients an
average of seven years and six months an
unsurpassing record that is constantly
getting longer.
The life of accounts with agencies in
general is eleven months.
H if!
With us, merchandising success is prac
tically inevitablc-r-wc work earnestly and
actively to reveal the "vital appeal" that
is latent in each worthy proposition . . .
wc employ methods that suggest scientific
precision.
Our attitude of sincere respect toward
advertising in general is reflected in our
treatment of each advertising proposition
with which wc deal. There is nothing of
"clap-trap" in our methods . . . wc permit
no misstatement nor exaggeration . . . wc
accomplish infinitely more by entirely
legitimate means.
'
You. who have slowly and carefully
erected the structure of a sound business
. . . are the man wc would like to talk to.
You . . . will appreciate our thorough
going methods . . . our careful conserva
tism and our rcsultful treatment of similar
propositions.
Wc can show you what wc have done to
help others to success . . . wc have n
mighty interesting story for the broad, live
executive who wants to make the most of
his selling and merchandising work, and to
make the time and energy he personally
puts into his business more rcsultful and
profitable.
A note from you indicating when a con
ference would be convenient would entail
no obligation on your part and would be

You and Immigration
IN America today there are more feet than shoos, more nnc
than collars, more heads than hats, more moutns thn food
more bodies than clothing, more stoves and furnaces than codl
more families than houses and more homes than furniture.
In Europe there are more farms than farming implements,
more factory buildinRsthanm.chincry,morcrailroad,than rolling
stock and more men than jobs. Europe needs American credit.
America needs men.
With 110,000,000 population, America today is producing
enouRh for only 60,000,000. High prices will continue until pro
duction is level with demand. And the chief cause of underpro
duction is lack of unskilled labor.
Half the workers in the basic industries are of foreign birth
Due to cessation of immiRration during the war, the mills, mine s
and railroads are short 3,000,000 men. At least 1,000,000 foreign
born workers now employed in them are preparing to return
to Europe.
More than one tenth oi the white farm workers are of foreign
birth. One out of every five immigrants lives in the country. To
day a great food lack is threatened by shortage of farm help.
BUT lh question of immiciatton is more than-an induMnal question
question of you and your pocketbook. Every woithy immicrant who
itnys in America ought to be helped to realize his ambitions Hr ought tl
to be helped to a property stake. H ought to be helped to ave so thtt his
savings can be turned into a home and &a( Amttica'n investments.
