NAD T0 THE BANKER Newspaper Advertising Best Way To Get Savings Accounts. Atlanta, June 17.--~*"Newspaper advertising enables the banker tq reach more people during their leis- ure hours, at a smaller cost per per- son, than any other means, and is one of the best ways to get Savings accounts," asserted Miss Minnie A. Buzbee, manager of advertising for the American Bank of Commerce and Trust Company, 'of Little Rock--an institution that has been uncommon- ly successful in building business through advertising--in addressing the financial section of the conven- tion of the Association Advertising Clubs of the World, in session here, The financial advertising section has been*uncommonly well attended and the sessions tremendously in- teresting, indicating a decidedly rapid growth of interest, on the part of banks, in constructive advertising methods. Incidentally, Miss Buszbee's im- portant place on the programme {l- lustrates the prominent place women are taking in the fleld of advertising. Many women, managers of advertis- ing departments of stores, factorjes and other business institutions, are attending the sessions, and inquiry shows that advertising affords un- commonly profitable occupation for the woman worker. Advertising is a business for which women are espe- clally well suited, because women understand the woman's point of view, and most of the buying in the old world is either done, or largely influenced, by women. Miss Busbee advocated going after new business, of course, but said that many banks are overlooking the opportunity to do a greatér business with present customers. She held that the lack of intensive methods on the part of legitimate financial in- stitutions was one of the reasons EVEN at the low purchase price of the Gray-Dort you do not sacrifice one desirable feature in your motor car.
