8PKNIW MILLION ADVERTISING
' i"* . . ..
Five-day Campaign 1m Newspaper*
<o*t Manufacturer $1,909,090.
New York, With bis n?w
car continuing to draw huge crowds,
Henry Ford, Monday concluded -at
least for pie present?the moat remarkable
advertising campaign ever
dcfdsed. For five days, at a total
tost of $1,300,000, fuH page advertta*
worn* were carried in about 2,000
daily newspapers, or virtually every
d-dly in the United States and Cartad*.
In addition the advertising of local
Ford dealers throughout the couninvolved
an expenditure various\y
estimated at from $250,000 to
$000,000. A guess of $400,000 probably
would he near the mark, making
s total of $1,700,000 in Ford advertising
in five days.
.fA few larger advertising appropriations
may have been made, but none
has been used in po brief a period
af time. Ford advertising of the new
i'*t has been confined to daily newspapers.
The above estimates were made by
Thomas Moore, associate director of
the bureau of advertising of the
Atrtericun Newspaper Publishers aslociation
and were confirmed by other
advertising experts.
According to local Ford representatives,
thirty-five dailies in the Metropolitian
area were used, including four
Jewish papers. With the latter exception
the advertising appeared in
10 foreign language papers. The to-al
cost was said to be in the neighborhood
of $150,000, or about 12 per
cent of the national total spent by
;he company.
The Ford Motor company last year
ipent about $400,000 in newspaper advertising
and $372,000 in magasine
idvertising. Its future advertising
ilans, if formulated, are not known,
jut its advertising will probably be
far heavier than eve* before. In
1926 it spent 2,500,000 for newspaper
advertising. There have been
.minors it woul<f adopt radio advertising
as the General Motors corporadon
recently has done. It is not expected
to emulate other automobile
nanufacturers in billboard advertls- \
fin its record breaking efforts to
eaten public attention, the Ford will .
lot have the field to itself. General
Motors is expected to .present new !
lines of Chevrolet, Pontine and Oldfcmobile
cars' at the January AutOrtiotiile
Show in this city.
The presentation of these models
undoubtedly will be accompanied by
huge advertising expenditures, for
the corporation long has been one of '
the world's largest advertisers.
New York's most popular indoor
sport c ontinues to be inspection of the
new Ford at fifteen display rooms
around the city, including Madison
Square Garden. The Ford .officials
report 460,175 persons saw the car
Itfst Friday, the first day of the exhibition,
and about 350,000 Saturday.
They insist these staggering totalB
represent actual count at the doors.
Each of the ninety Ford dealers in '
this area has from two to five salesmen?depending
upon the size of the
dealer's business?taking orders at '
one or another of the exhibits. The
salemen are rotated so that all Ford
sellers in the area have a fair chance
at juicy commission after many lean
months while the" company was out of
production.
Friday's sales, each- with a cash
deposit, totaled 1,688 cars, while 1,243
car were sold Saturday. No later
figures have been given out.
, Eight counties in northwestern
South Carolina are producing about
one-third of the state's cotton crop,
the federal statistician reports. The
roupties are Cherokee, Spartanburg,
Umpn, Greenville, Laurens, Anderson,
Pickens and Oconee.
Mrs. Estelle Hutchison Meggs, 19
years old, w;as fatally shot and the
side of her face and back of her head
torn away at the home of her parents
iq Florence county Tuesday night. The
shot was fired through a window with
a shot gup. Her husband had left
her at her former-home for a visit
earlier in the day. They had been
married six months. The husband
held fqp investigation in the absence
of any clues to the murder of
Mrs. Meggs, but was V*ter discharged
upon proving a perfect alibi, and the
kiHing is a mystery still.
Artillery from . Fori Bragg and
bombing planes from Langley and
Maxwell fields will destroy the $250,000
bridge across the Peedee river
neixt week in- practice operations
whl^h will-last six-days. The bridge
is'near the Stanley and Montgomery
counties line: on State Highway No.
74, and the North Carolina highway
department have -completed its tests
of leading, the strnctu'te and turnedMt
over to Ahe army to use as a target.
Eighteen pjarres will bombard it from
the air, arid the artillery will shell it
from * hill several miles distant.
Spectators will be excluded within
five miles of the bridge .in all directions
when the army maneuvers be-,
gin, and those living within that
radius will be compelled to move out,.
The bridge site will be overflowed by
a new water-powder development below,
which puts the bridge out. of
commission and allows it- to be' used
for all **t! *f tests.
