-j ((U’NTKR A( TINT. DK-PIiKH^ION. - i |{ KM AR K A BLK INSTANCES, i LONDON, April 1. ! Business men throughout the world 1 had boon forced to study the econi nmios of the depression. and a good 1 ] in any of thorn had formed the opinion ’ that, retrenchment in advertising was ' : not necessarily economy, said Major i .1. .) . Astor. in presiding at a meeting { of fhe Advertising Benevolent Society. Naturally flic newspapers would ! benefit, from wider acceptance ol that j view, but the newspapers had no | reason to be ashamed of advertisement, j activities, continued M.ajor Astor.

Major Astor instanced a linn of American motor , manufacturers which alone increased j its advertising for 1930. It. dropped j only 14 per cent, of its business com-1 pared with the ti-ade's average drop j of og jier cent.
