INC. 35 East Wacker Drive, Chicago 415 Lexington Avenue, New York Charter Member The Indiana League of Home Dailies THE WISE COURSE: Aggressveness In Hie superlative degree, backed with a determination to win, is shown in the policy adopted by Mr. George W. Hill of the American Tobacco Company, who the other day announced that the company's advertising appropriation was increased $2,300,000 for 14)30. The company is reported to be spending this year between $19.0110,000 and $20,000,000, most of which is being used in buying space in daily newspap rs. Mr. Hill credits newspaper advertising with bringing about more pro.-itt. rous condition for his conrpanyjiinl as proof of the increased business and profits announced a one hundred per cent, stock dividend and increased the yearly dividend rate front eight to ten dollars a share. in commenting on newspap r advertising Mr. Hill said: "We sincerely attribute a large measure of the prosp rity of our company to the assistance that newspaper advertising lias given us. Secondly only in importance to the quality of the product, in our opinion, is the question of its exploitation by advertising." "As an illustration of our definite belief in this medium, whereas we are told by our advertising agents that some other firms are reducing their appropriations in newspaper advertising for the year 1930, our own appropriation for the year has been increased by more than $2,300.000 in excess of the year 1929." Mr. Hill in announcing the in- < l ease in net profits, said that the lo drive a shabby car They shouldn’t judge you by the appearance of your car. But they do!

L —t TODAY’S CHUCKLE t (u.ro- -—« London. C. J. C. Grantham of New Cross depot has driven a tramcar for 12 years and covered 250,000 miles without ac- [' cident, while T. W. Manic.' is it runnerup with 10 years and 200,000 miles to his credit. i- ♦- * r — company's business for the first five months of 1930 had sui passed «> o all records for corresponding perj iods. i) The selection of this editorial J comment Is not. made with the pur- ) pose of boosting any particular ] company's business and is void of any reference for one company or another, but done with the idea of giving exact figures and statements on the value of newspaper adver-. ' Hsing as a stimulus to business, when indications point that it needs : a tonic. In fact Mr. Hill's wisdom to advertise now is being profitably duplicated by several of America's leading industries. in years to come there will be no grade crossings of transportation lines. Since the establish- , mi nt of Hie federal road bureau in 191", the several states have eUm- 1 inated 3,681 grade crossings on 1 main state highways, and all but 997 of these were eliminated by I changing the route of the highwavs. Indiana has kept up with I this movement but there is still, much to do. On route 67, between . Indianapolis and Martinsville, on the wi st side of White river, there . are fifteen crossings within thirty l miles. These could be avoided by ' changing the route.-Hartford City News. Don't be an habitual knocker, its so much hotter to boost and to help. Thats the advice of Mr. Coolidge and its a dose we should all take. It doesn't mean you can't have an opinion or express it but it should mean that malicious destruction is the wrong path for any decent, patriotic, home loving < ittz. -n to follow in these days. Here are some of the things the : tariff farmers overlooked and they i are still on the free list: Joss slicks, muzxle-loading muskets, ■ leeches, canceled stamps, cellos manufactured before 1880 an d broken bells. Who says the farmr has been slighted? Gary has a population of 100,949 which is pretty fair for a city only about twenty years old. Some towns have worked at the job five times as long and have scarcely got startl'd, but remember, they didn't have the great steel corporations to help them. Every once in a while President Hoover shows signs of using his "big stick'' but just as often the senate and congress makes faces at him and continue to do as they please. That makes it a little difficult to complete the re-adjustment program. II I > 18, After all the cheapest thing inj Hie world is happiness and yet a ' lot of us think we can't afford it. Any way we don't reach out ti.id grab when thats often all that is m cessary. Most trouble is in your mind and much of it never comes. We just imagine it is going to. It is more important that we I have the street fair and agricultural show this year than at most previous times. It will encourage and help every one and a week of play is good for all of us. Step on it boys, don't let things got dtaggy, the people are looking to you to keep the old boat going and it every one will lend a hand, von will be surprised how easy a job it is. Swat the flics and keep the I , weeds down. These are two very important rules to remember and to follow during the summer season and if done early don't cost " i much. > Perhaps a little encourageniient
