• .-'nine ii minis ago the National
League of Advertisers and Advertise-
ment Writers instituted a campaign
along the lines of the pure food and
drugs campaign. The advertisers are
after "pure food advertising" along
till lines, so comprehending in its
j scope that it shall take in ( very com-
mercial line. As this is a matter that
touches tite pocket hooks, therefore
tile very lives of all the people, the
Herald lias decided to reproduce the
series of articles written by Samuel
Hopkins Adams, a man who, perhaps
above all others of liis generation, is
pre-eminently qualified to write on
th< subjects which lie handles. Mr.
Adams has made almost :i life-long
study oT advertising and its kindred
subjects. He has been most thorough
in his methods. He digs to the bottom
of everything lie tackles and gets his
j facts and information at the source
j of the fountain. Therefore, what he
writes lias never been, is not and ean-
not he disputed. He gives you the
'naked truth.” Mr. Adams comes of
a long line of distinguished anees-
| try, being a great-grandson of that
j Adams whose name is forever linked
j with the early history of this Repub-
i lie. This article and the subsequent
ones all appeared in the New York
Tribune and have created nation-wide
notice and comment.— Hal. i
