EXPLAINS POLICY ON ADVERTISING Walter Flanders, President of Maxwell Co., Says Name Will Stand For Value Some striking comments on the fun-j damental value of honesty in adver-: tislng are contained in a statement by Walter E. Flanders, president of the Maxwell Motor Company, just issued to the company's dealers and repre-j sentatives. The statement is a con crete explanation of the aims behind the company's advertising: policy. In view of the national movement in the direction of sincerity and truth in advertising:, Mr. Flanders' remarks have a profound and timely interest. \Y hile his views necessarily relate to the Maxwell Motor Company, they may easily lie taken to apply generally to national advertising: of any character. No strain on the imagination is re quired to give his remarks a broad ap plication. so that, liberally construed, tliey strike at the very root of what those who have the best interests of advertising at heart have been agitat- ' ing for a long- time. Among other things he says: '.'The public has its introduction to 1 a business house largely through the medium of advertising. In this as in other instances, the tirst impressions exert great influence and the line of least resistance is to have those first impressions favorable. If our adver tising contains exaggerated, sensa tional or untrue statements, the public will Inevitably conceive a correspond ing impression of the company behind that advertising. And we can't afford to put any such obstacles in our own path, even though they do deceive a* few unsuspecting people and momen tarily stimulate our sales. We are' going to be In business a long while! and a lasting foundation cannot he j built on mere strategems. "Maxwell must mean something. It must make known that behind the car j there is an institution—not a dealer or j a salesman or any other representative ; —but an institution; a big, healthy,! permanent, institution possessing aims and ideals, whose product naturally j will reflect its good name." Speaking of the "Institutional" idea j behind the Maxwell advertising policy, > Mr. Flanders says: "Institutional merchandising, which j includes advertising and selling, is not! an idle theory. It is not vague sophis- I try. It is a real and urgent necessity. J The biggest and best known industries i in the world are founded on it and | have their whole being in it. They are i not mere businesses. They are institu- ! tions—national or international in] their scope and their present eminence j was attained through the character! and ideals they possessed and that I they made known to the public. "Majtwell has started to institution- j allze. Maxwell advertising will create j indelibly impress on the popular; mind a definite and distinctive idea—i "A recognized standard of value, | utility and excellence that will sug- ! gest itself with the word Maxwell —an j unconscious appreciation of the ideals, I the methods, the sincerity, the vast; resources, the integrity the very Spirit of the Maxwell Motor Com pany." On the subject of truth in advertis ing. the statement reads: "An essential element of institutional advertising is Truth. Unless you can accept as literally and wholly true the ' statements made in Maxwell advertis- 1 lng, you cannot do justice to the Max-1 well Motor Company you cannot \ truly reflect the Maxwell organization j and you cannot have the necessary confidence In the ideals and honesty of the Maxwell Motor Company. Let us have this clearly and definitely under- | stood by every man now and for all i time. "Wherever you see a Maxwell adver-1 ttsement —no matter .whether It is in a j national weekly, standard magazine, I trade publication or local newspaper—; you know or should know that you can I pin your faith to it and assure your j prospects, your neighbors and your! friends, that every word of that text Is ; fact. "We make an honest product and we] Insist that honest methods be em-1 ployed by us and all of our men in' selling it. This, then, will be the ex pression of truth In Maxwell Institu tional Advertising."

HOW TO PROTECT ROSE BUSHES FROM THE ROSE APHIS Plant Louse Sucks Sap From Tender Portion When New Growth Starts When new growth starts on the rose bushes in the spring, and throughout the summer and fall, the young growth and the flower buds and stems of rose bushes are often covered with a small green or pinkish plant-louse, known as the rose aphis, which sucks the sap from the tender portion of the plant and causes an unhealthy curled condition of the foliage and disap pointment in the number and qual ity of the flowers produced. The rose aphis passes the winter in the egg stage on the stems and dor mant buds of the rose bushes, accord ing to A. It. Hopkins, Forest Entomol ogist. I'. S. Department of Agriculture. The insects hatching from these eggs reach maturity in about 15 to 20 days, all being wingless. They are pear shaped and either bright green or pinkish in color. At this stage they begin to produce living young, each individual in course of about 20 days producing 60 to 100 young, which, on maturity are either winged or wing less and in turn either green or pink ish. Thus the tender growth soon be comes crowded with various sizes, col ors and shapes of aphides, and, to In sure their progeny with an adequate food supply, the wingless mothers mi grate to less crowded growth and the winged ones fly to other rose bushes, each starting a colony for herself. In favorable weather conditions, especial ly in a humid atmosphere, ■ many gen erations may thus follow one another, covering every bit of green vegetation on the bush with their bodies, their cast skins, honeydew, and the result ing sooty fungus. Jt can easily be seen that, had every aphis produced in the course of a season lived its full life, the progeny of a single overwint ering egg would run into millions. The presence of ajrts on the rose bushes is an indication that the aphis is present, because the ants collect the honeydew from the aphides and. to a certain extent, protect the aphides from their insect enemies. Natural Control As above indicated, the rose aphis thrives best in cloudy, humid, warm atmosphere, hence with the appear ance of a hot and dry spell they often disappear as suddenly as they ap peared. Aside from a variety of causes, like driving rains, winds, etc., which deci mate its numbers considerably, the rose aphis is attacked by other in sects which either devour them or develop from eggs deposited in their bodies. Ladybirds. lacewing flies, and the larvae of two-winged .flies call ed syrphus flies are among the former and a number of species of tiny wasp like insects represent the internal par asites. Sometimes these natural agencies of control are sufficient to keep the aphides so reduced in num bers that they do litlle or no harm. Notwithstanding the effectiveness of natural checks, however, their Inter mittent character unfortunately ren ders their help often too late to save the flower crop. It is always advis able, therefore, to watch rose bushes for aphides and to apply remedies as soon as they are discovered. Uciiiodifs Fortunately the rose aphis readily succumbs to artificial methods of con trol, and, with the different styles of spray pumps on the market, there is no excuse for allowing roses to suffer from these insects. The simplest, most commonly used, and often quite effective remedy is to turn a fine but forceful stream of water on them by means of the garden hose. Applied often enough this gives satisfactory results. Solution of fish oil or cheaper grades of soap are often useful as a prompt remedy. The soap is used at the rate of 1 pound to 4 gallons of water. To make the solution, shave the soap into the water and dissolve by heating, adding enough water afterwards to make up for evaporation. The best remedy for the rose aphis is 40 per cent nicotine sulphate (a liquid which can be purchased in most seed stores) diluted at the rate of one part to 1,000 to 2,000 parts of water, with fish oil soap or laundry soap added at the rate of one pound to 60 gallons of the spray mixture. The simplest way to prepare the sprav in small quantities and secure satisfac tory proportions of the ingredients is to put one te&spoonful of the nlfotlne sulphate in from 1 to 2 gallons of water and then add one-half ounce of laundry soap. One spraying is usual ly 100 per cent effective, but if the first application has not been thor oughly made, a second one may be necessary. In order to prevent the possible de velopment of mllde\r as a result of frequent spraying it is advisable to make the applications in the early morning so that the spray will dry off the plants promptly. . The spraying device to use'depends or the amount of spraying necessary A cheap atomiser, such as can be bought in any seed store, is quite satis factory for nihall plants and gardens.

Kirschbaum Co* An Open Letter to Harrisburg Clothes Buyers STRANGE, is it not, that so many clothiers are silent these days on the question of all-wool! The trouble with the part cotton idea is that once you consent to the adulteration of a fabric you can never tell where the cotton leaves off and the wool begins. Even a ten per cent, mixture of cotton is enough to give to a suit that tell-tale cheap, cot tony appearance. This store, for its part, refuses to ally itself with makers who give more thought to main taining profits than to maintaining standards. We stand side by side with the house nationally known for its unflinching advocacy of the all wool principle—the celebrated makers of Kirschbaum Clothes And when we say that every garment bearing the Kirsch baum label is pure wool, we do not mean 50 per cent, cotton, 25 per cent, cotton or 10 per cent, cotton. We mean pure wool and nothing else. More than that—in the tailoring, in the linings, in the finish of Kirschbaum clothes—you will find the same conscientious ness, the same steadfast principles which are required to main tain an all-wool standard in these uncertain days.
