WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY. MAY 14, 1975, PAGE 3 Chamber speaker knocks ad clients The advertising Industry could be much more dfficient accordlng to David Cravit', vice-president of Morris Saffer Advertising Limited. Mr. Cravit was addressing the most recent meeting of the Whitby Chamber of Com- merce. His Toronto based adver- tising agency handies such notable accounts as Bad Boy Furniture and Appliances Limnited, Eaton's Horizon Stores, Elk's Stores Limnited and Inland Publishing. Why is the industry 50 inefficient? The big reason is that so0 many people "misunder- stand" advertising. According to Mr. Cravit an advertîsing agency's aver. age client does flot under. stand what his advertising should do. Advertising will only work if advertisers have a clear cut set of objectives and hire professionals to communicate those objectives, he feels. Mr. Cravit said that advertising done by an advertiser, rather than by a professional or an agency, does flot surceed. Businessmen must realize that advertising "won't bail out" an unsuccessful business he added. "First and fore. most,- put your own house in order. Until you do that, you're not ready to adver. tise. Another obstacle in the way of good advertising is government intervention, Mr. Cravit bel ieves. He says that the govern- ment has an idea that "the average Canadian is an absolute, certifiable idiot" and therefore try to regulate what produets should be advertised. Mr. Cravit feels that the people can deal with tasteless and intelligence in- sulting advertising by boycot- ting the products advertised in such a marne~. However, he would like to see governments set more stringent controls on adver. tising aimed at children. In addition, Mr. Cravit feels DAVE CIRAVIT that advertisers who mislead the public ought to be pun- ised more harshly. Speaking on the future of the field, Mr. Cravit predicts increases in both the amount and methods of advertising. He feels that there will be an increase ini comparative advertising, where one manu- facturer will prove, with satistics, that his product is better than that offered by e competition.j Box plant sale The Brooklin Horticultur- ai Society is holding their Box Plant Sale May 23, 24 and 25. They will have plants available for sale at 4:30 p.m. on Friday ail day, Saturday (10 a.m. tiil dusk) and Sun- day (2 p.i. till dusk). The sale is the only major fund raising project that the society is involved in. Last year they sold over 3,800 boxes or pots of plants in a two weekend span. They hope to equal -this in one weekend this year. Prices are competitive. A great deal of advance planning is needed to ensure a smooth running sale. The plants are grown by a local supplier, but transportation to Brooklin is stlll a problem. This year they are renting a large truck which will help with this problemn and willl also ensure a minimumn of damage to the plants in transit The members work very hard to make this sale a success. 'The proceeds go directly back into the soc- iety's civic beauification activities, some of' whidi are: Harris property roadside bed, Baldwin St., Brooklin; Royal Canadian Legion Hall, Bald- win Street, Brooklin; Whitby Public Library, Brooklin Branch, Vipond Street, Brooklin; Grass Park,Baldwin Street and Casselîs Road, Brooklin (roadside bed, centre round bed and 3 planter boxes at corners); Memnorial Park (Brooklin Merno' rial Arena), Winrchester Street, Brooklin (raised dis- play bed, crescent bed & foundations); Centennial Building, Centre StreetSouth Whitby (foundations):. Cen- tennial Building, Centre Street' South, Whitby (foun- dation); hanging baskets on area main streets - Baldwin Street, Brock Street, Dundas Street. In addition to past pro- jects, the society is making special plans for extending the civic beautification pro- jects for this Plowing Match year. Last year they had about 65 lieinaincihkes which were planted by the members in early June. The members have àlready planted 100 baskets for the main streets this year. The memrbers are on hand at the sale to offer any sug- gestions or help with planting tips for each variety. Among the available plants are petun- ias, lobelia, imnpatiens, pansies begonias, geraniums, fuýhias, dracina and a few perennials.
