A despatch from Syracuse, N.

Mr. Rogers said, in art: “Much of the lost motion an waste in modern business is represented by a misconception of the relations which should exist be- tween the seller and the buyer of publicity. According to my con- ception of the proposition, the ad- vertiser should absolutely demand that every medium in which he spends money delivers known and proved circulation as a. prerequisite of the contract. Unless this is done you lace a premium on the man of fit se statements.” Mr. Rogers showed how newspaper advertising was the most efficacious and satis- factory medium of reaching the conâ€" sumer to-day, and advanced in proof of his contentions the follow- ing main argument: Newspaper space can be bought in exact ac cordance with the distribution of goods and in oo-operstion with sel- ling effort for 100 per cent. eflici- .ency priced to the hour and enab- ;led to take advantage of changing \conditions.
